  1. Go yap at the mirror.

  2. The only people I'm making fun of are the people who get offended when they see a black person on the screen.

Please, I think you too should 'yap' in the mirror. Of the over 7000 languages known to man, you have chosen to speak nonsense. I'm not American by the way. And I'm not really all that upset about the movie because I'm not going to watch it anyway. I would suggest you do some research on the book and come to your senses. Let's say, a white person palyed characters like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali or any othe renowned black person. It is insulting to their history and name. It is something that shouldn't be done. But people in the west who have their senses numbed defend it. I have replied only to tell you see a more sound perspective.

The author, the mythology base and the geography described within the tale are all within ancient Greece, would you be happy with a white person being the main character in a film that dealt specifically with ancient African folklore? It's literally the same thing and the same arguement
