Oh No! Reverse Race-Swapping Brings a New White “Black Panther”
Sometime around 10 years ago it seems like movie, TV, and comic book studios all got their hands on a “Freaky Friday” machine. Freaky Friday, both the original 1976 and 2003 remakes, told the story of a girl and her mom who somehow swap bodies on Friday the 13th. As the two experience the other one’s lives, predictable hijinks ensue.
But the studios have used the swapping machine to change the race and skin color of characters. It’s almost always in one direction, from white skin to black skin. As part of the degrading “we was kings” commentary from African supremacists (black people who think all the world’s technology and civilization was invented by African black people before whites took all the credit), modern movie makers insist on putting black people in historical pieces and genres where it’s just not credible.
Come on, a black Anne Boleyn? Or, how about a black Queen Charlotte? For some reason, the Brits themselves seem obsessively interested in degrading the actual historical figures in their past by having them portrayed by black actors who are not in any way believable as part of English history.
Take a look at a round up of movies, films, TV shows, and other recent “artistic” properties that decided to freshen up the work with race-swapping:
Blacks celebrated when beloved White characters were flipped Black, now suddenly they are against race swapping characters?
Why should they care btw, Black Panther is a fantasy character. That was their argument the other way round. pic.twitter.com/OeXkrl9Ye7

When the tables turn, the screaming starts. As dumb as it is to get worked up over who portrays a comic book character, nevertheless that’s what people are doing. And black commentators who loved them some race-swapping when it serviced their Hotep fantasies don’t like it so much when it means giving the white man a shot at defending Wakanda.
Apparently, the fictional comic book black country of Wakanda is getting a new white lead, and black fans are big mad.

And some people think it’s extremely funny.
It has come to my attention that Black Panther had a white son who is now the King of Wakanda?
Which I personally think is hilarious. Marvel leaned into what many comic fans have been saying for a while now. pic.twitter.com/EfAPiFUhOQ
