youngmafbog - "Well actually if you turn it round and said
"I won't watch it if Elba Idris plays it"
I wonder what the respose from some ABers would have been."
But that applies to any and every point made on every post in every section.
You can 'turn things around', but that's usually a pointless cul-de-sac, because it's not what the original poster said - or meant.
I detest Amanda Hart, so I won't watch anything she is in on TV.
I could 'turn it round' and say, what if her part was played by Naomi Harris, would I watch it then?
Maybe, but not because Naomi Harris is a black actress, that is not the issue, so the whole argument falls apart right there.
ummmm has pointed out that she hasn't enjoyed any Bond actors to date, but would watch if Mr Elba took the role.
That would suggest that she likes Mr Elba as an actor, not because he is a black actor, or because she prefers a black actor to a white one - that is an unfounded inference put on her by another poster, and she has rightly shot it down for the nonsense it is.
