Tom Hanks' crime is playing white men.

Opinion: Tom Hanks Is A Non-Racist. It's Time For Him To Be Anti-Racist

OMG! His skin color is awful.

"After many years of speaking out about race and media in America, I know the toughest thing for some white Americans — especially those who consider themselves advocates against racism — is to admit how they were personally and specifically connected to the elevation of white culture over other cultures."

Jesus. Who the hell does he expect Hanks to play?

"What Hanks (and Hollywood) should do next

If he really wants to make a difference, Hanks and other stars need to talk specifically about how their work has contributed to these problems and how they will change. They need to make specific commitments to changing the conversation in story subjects, casting and execution. That is the truly hard work of building change.

Rather than talk about what "historically based fiction entertainment" must do, why not talk about what Tom Hanks, longtime scripted and documentary executive producer, will do? As a star who can get a movie made just by agreeing to appear in it, what will Tom Hanks, movie star, actually do?"

This is plantation thinking. What does massa have to do to fix us. Never mind what we have to do for ourselves.

I have no idea why this guy gets to tell Tom Hanks what he needs to do. I guess he was behind on his clicks quota.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, teach gym.
Those who can't teach gym, become movie critics.

Ultimately Hollywood is in the money making business.

If black sells, they'll sell it.

At the moment it is in demand.

Or at least it is being marketed.
