You don't think its telling that certain people want to "culturally scrubbed" because you're white? Am I supposed to be connected to the white people taken out of the pictures and offended as if it's related to insulting me? Yes, because the characteristic that caused the actors in the original posters to be scrubbed is a characteristic you share with them. They didn't take Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet out of the Titanic poster because of who they are personally.

And what role will you be playing in this "War on whites?" I'm willing to bet you white defenders can raise an army of keyboard warriors at a moments notice😃 Exposing people like you as the real haters is slowly becoming more and more effective. And its fun too. Who do I hate then? Is it myself? Am I a self hating white man? Traitor to my race? You think a fucking war on white people starts with movie posters? Have you ever seen or been the victim of racial violence?

Like if I'm pulled over in my city, I may get a ticket or I may not, but it is a relatively pleasant exchange between the policeman and myself. It ain't that way for black folks in this city. Bullshit. I bet there are tons of times black people in your city have pleasant interactions with police, or police pass by them and never give them a second glance. I shouldn't say "I bet", I ought to phrase it "I know". And I also am certain that there are times when whites aren't treated too well, sometimes unjustly stopped, sometimes abused by cops. I'm certain of it. You only think that stuff happens to black people because of the lying media harping on the Black Lives Matter movement's handpicked outrages and ignoring all else. If only your words helped the oppressed blacks

I don't care any more or less about random white people than I would about people of other colors.

You're not supposed to care about random people any more because they have the same skin color! But when random people are being attacked in different ways because of the characteristic *you* share with them, rational people should have alarm bells go off in their heads, "Ding ding ding, this could be me next!!!!". Do you see now?

Do you see now? If someone doing the attacking had any power to do something that would be one thing. I consider calling it attacking overly dramatic.

A) If they can make posters and put them up all over, its got some money and clout behind it. B) Its not like Kate and Leo et al were punched in the face, but it is an attack. Maybe they'll move on to your workplace next? Probably not, but eventually they'll get around to demanding everyday working stiffs be removed from jobs for diversity sake.

Doesn't mean it's going to happen. Whites will be a minority in a few decades, what non-whites say will go. Whites don't seem to be able to stand up for themselves or even recognize their own interests, so we may become a punching bag that all non-white groups can unite around.

Whites own almost everything. Fear not, hate-mongers.
Take a look at Trump's Cabinet and staff. A lazy-susan of white people. Just wait your turn, and Trump will eventually appoint you as something. The bad news is you may be appointed official patsy.

There was a time when the only black face in films was a servant or suchlike, when black folk didn't have any rights. Now films have to address the fact that America is a multi cultural society and people are more or less equal. For some people, yourself included this is seen as a "war on whites" but is in reality just addressing something that was very morally wrong. You can harken back to those good 'ol days when the "coloureds" knew there place but most people see the the change as positive.

You are correct in that a change to include all people is a positive thing. But wouldn't the change be better served by looking to reflect it in present and future work? I don't see what changing faces on posters of the past will accomplish.
