Harriet Tubman Descendant Reacts to News That Julia Roberts Was Suggested for Role
A relative of Harriet Tubman reacted to the story shared by Harriet screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard in which a Hollywood executive in the '90s suggested casting Julia Roberts as the woman who freed countless slaves. Tubman's great-great-great-grandniece Tina Wyatt told TMZ that the mere suggestion that a white woman play Tubman is incredibly disrespectful and went on to say that the black community would not stand for a whitewashed version of Tubman's story.
"What do you think would have happened?" Wyatt said. "You would have had a boycott." See her full response below:
News of that long-ago meeting and the bad ideas Howard deftly avoided in the long process of getting Harriet made came to light in a piece Q&A with Howard for Focus Features. The writer behind Remember the Titans and Ali said that “the climate in Hollywood…was very different” when he first began pitching Tubman's story. He said the executive doubled down on the choice of Roberts, saying the public wouldn't know Tubman was not white because the story was about 150 years in the past.
“I was told how one studio head said in a meeting, ‘This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman,'” Allen said. “When someone pointed out that Roberts couldn’t be Harriet, the executive responded, ‘It was so long ago. No one is going to know the difference.'”
Another typical white racist mofo who think Blacks don't know their history.
I posted this because of sailor's comment. He thinks Blacks are too stupid to know their history as well. The racist bitch said BLACKS OWNED SLAVES IN WHITE AMERICA. Only racist fools such as himself, believes that.
When you vote republican, this is what you support.

"One of the most vexing questions in African-American history is whether free African Americans themselves owned slaves. The short answer to this question, as you might suspect, is yes, of course; some free black people in this country bought and sold other black people, and did so at least since 1654, continuing to do so right through the Civil War. For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?"

"(The Root) — 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro No. 21: Did black people own slaves? If so, why?"
Feel free to prove me wrong TTQ. Feel free to prove that blacks in this country were not slave owners. Until then, wannabe African, shut the fuck up. And stop making black people look stupid. Just because you and relatively small group of blacks in this country are ignorant, it certainly does not mean a majority of the other are.
"In a fascinating essay reviewing this controversy, R. Halliburton shows that free black people have owned slaves "in each of the thirteen original states and later in every state that countenanced slavery," at least since Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary went to court in Virginia in 1654 to obtain the services of their indentured servant, a black man, John Castor, for life."
A did you know moment.
Did you know that the person that made the above suggestion for aJulia Roberts is a black liberal? Just view his tweets.

The President and the Pervert, the dead pervert. The Democrats should be having a field day with this—they're not. Why? Dems fight using Marquess of Queensbury Rules. Trump is a cage fighter. Dems need to get nasty to win.

A bunch of pasty mouth-breathers using the strawman “Blacks owned slaves in white america” immediately invalidates any argument he has, as far as I’m concerned, but that seems to be the second most popular false narrative that gets tossed around after “But you SHOULD be protesting black on black crime in Chicago instead of blocking my traffic or disturbing my peace!”.
The Root? Gates thought he was exempt because he voted republican and spews their hate. But they got his ass.
Just like Gates......none of you racist fucks are credible.

Justin Trudeau should play Harriet Tubman.
"It [the draft] is duty rather than slavery. I part with the author on the caviler idea that individual freedom (whatever that may be to the person) leads to nirvana, anyone older that 12 knows that is BS."
