Well, some people take issue with it regardless of how good or bad these actors may have been in their roles. It seems some of the dislike stems from comments some of these actors may have supposedly said about Black Americans rather than “lost opportunities.”If Black British actors were doing a bad job at playing notable historical African Americans then there might be an issue but most of them are doing a solid job.
David Oyelowo was a good MLK in Selma
Chiwetel Ejiofor was good as Soloman Northup in 12 Years A slave
Cynthia Erivo was good as Harriet Tubman in Harriet
Babou Ceesay was good as Bill Riddick in The Best Of Enemies
I’m just curious if those who have complaints will be louder or lower given the circumstances of the current pandemic.
