"The Golden Girls" is getting an all Black cast

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/enter...ast/index.html

"The Golden Girls" is getting an all Black cast for a one night charitable performance.

Alfre Woodard, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sanaa Lathan, and Regina King will star in the re-imagining of the hit 1980s comedy series Tuesday for a Zoom Where It Happened virtual watch party.
"In an effort to further engage our community and drive change, all you need to do to enjoy this evening is sign up to receive messages about how you can make a change during this election!," the sign up page for the event reads. "This event is in partnership with Zoom, and the first episode is spotlighting and supporting Color of Change - the nation's largest online racial justice organization."





































































BRUH. The fukin golden girls.
“The Misc. is a stone-faced Uncle Sam with Popeye’s forearms and a cocked pistol in each hand. It’s a screeching bald eagle with a foreign Bad Thing in its talons. It’s everything that defines America’s bro culture, magnified and weaponized. But it’s deeper than that.“

Who cares? The golden girls was just about some old broads. It's not like they recast Mulan with black people.

There used to be so many good shows about black people in the 80s and 90s. Now literally every show is either "LOOK WE'RE BLACK" or "LOOK WE TOOK A SHOW AND MADE IT BLACK".

Just make a good show. Nobody cares.

" for a one night charitable performance."

Are you autistic for thinking there is an issue with this ? Do you also go to the theater and throw bottles at Ceasar because he is being played by a someone who clearly looks nothing like the original ?

I'm not talking about the Golden Girls spicifically because it's just a one night performance thing, who cares.

With regard to everything else, people care when the selling point of a show is because they're diverse/LGBTQ, rather than being a good show that just happens to have these characters.

The new star wars movies for example were about diversity and spreading the message about it, rather than focusing on a great storyline that just happened to contain diverse characters.

That makes a whole world of a difference imo.

Maaan...WHY?!

Golden Girls was pretty hilarious as a kid and I don't think they will be able to replicate the chemistry of the cast in the OG version.

I watched Black shows and white shows growing up. Married.. With Children, Mama's Family, Golden Girls. Then I could watch In Living Color, Martin, Fresh Prince, The Cosby Show.

Why Blackwash (lol) the show?

Can we call this "blackwashing", or is it just the term "whitewashing" that isn't racist? Hard to keep track of the standards.

My wife watches GG reruns and from the bits and pieces I pick up I can say there was nothing PC about that show.

I was hoping it would be a reboot of the series featuring old black actresses from 90s sitcoms we don't see enough anymore
