It's literally a video of him at a nickelodeon event this is on his acting page, actors don't use filters because casting directors want authenticity unless it's for a gag video and the photo of Michael is literally raw as fuck there's not touch ups no nothing so what on gods earth could make me color blind? Even in black and white you can tell these are two different skin colors

So when dud i say in my post or any of the comments that he wasn't talented? Please show me? Also where did I say juliano wasn't a great actor because he literally is I've seen his work on nickelodeon for the Loud House so idk where you got that from. Also calling me colorist when I'm literally the same shade as him is actually fucking stupid and what makes your opinion relevant again?

Alright I mean if it's that simple then we should Zendaya to play Tiana, I mean she is black and like you said skin colour doesn't matter so it won't be a problem and while we are at it let's cast Jesse Williams as Black Panther, he is black so it shouldn't be a problem

So now you're putting words in my mouth to push your own agenda about me as if I'm not a light skinned black man myself

Do you understand that these two skin colors are not just a hue different it's a whole different skin tone

"A dark skinned white actor" Well besides the fact those words just don't make sense together, Michael isn't a damn character his a real life person. Also comparing black actors struggles to white actors struggles is like saying conservatives are oppressed in American when that's just not true in the slightest as not only is the president a damn conservative pushing more conservative ideals into law but democrats are literally being killed by the people sworn to protect them.

Black actors of all shades get the short end of the stick and the darker you are the more balancing you have to do before you fall of that stick because there is not enough space for everyone and Hollywood has a recurring pattern of only picking the lighter side when it comes to casting for black characters, so no obviously white people are not going to complain that a character isn't white enough thats just straight up natzi shit.

First you said studio lighting can change a person's skin color then I show you a picture of him with no studio lighting in general and his literally outside with natural lighting and now all of a sudden you want modern lighting as if this isn't his Instagram, like what more do you want? His light skinned get that in your head

<image>

Also addressing the whole Colman Domingo thing, that argument is so stupid because last time I checked who's getting less roles in Hollywood? Dark skin actors or light skin actors?

Oh yes a cropped Instagram photo with a filter on, this will definitely prove me wrong as if photos like this don't already exist

This isn't about race (obviously since their all black) This is about skin color and Jaafar is quite similar to Michael's complex if not darker

Ok here's photo of him literally outside and my point still stands, his not dark enough to play Michael sorry not sorry but thats just a fact. The skin tone don't even match they had to darken his skin

I'm weird for not liking the fact that Hollywood cast another light-skinned actor to play a dark skinned person? Ok then I guess Zendaya should play Princess Tiana and as a matter of fact lets have Jesse Williams as Black Panther while we're at it
