First the fascist patriarch Clint Eastwood makes a movie with a White guy who shows no remorse for slaughtering innocent hadjis, then Benedict Cumberbatch comes out and refers to Blacks as “colored.”
Looks to me like it’s time to clean the racists out of Hollywood.
CNN:
The “12 Years a Slave” actor said he was an “idiot” and “devastated” at his choice of words during an interview with PBS’ Tavis Smiley about the lack of diversity in the British film industry.
Cumberbatch, 38, told Smiley: “I think as far as colored actors go, it gets really difficult in the UK, and I think a lot of my friends have had more opportunities here [in the U.S.] than in the UK, and that’s something that needs to change.”
His comments were criticized by some observers on Twitter as being insensitive and out of touch. One user called Sonya Thomas asked: “Benedict Cumberbatch used the term ‘coloured’ to describe black actors. What year are we in?”
Cumberbatch clearly sought to reduce the uniqueness of Black heritage by making them out to be just any old color. Black isn’t just any color, it is “the very darkest color owing to the absence of or complete absorption of light; the opposite of white.”
Historically, Whites called Black people “colored” in order to make out like they were just any old random color, when in fact they were Black. They also tried to reduce their Blackness by calling them “Negro,” which is the Spanish word for Black but is also completely racist because by using a non-English word to define their Blackness, we are making them into alien outsiders.
