MJ

As previously reported, a white actor by the name of Joseph Fiennes has been cast to portray Michael Jackson in an upcoming made-for-TV film in the UK. Naturally, many people have been up in arms over this, and an old interview with MJ and Oprah even resurfaced, where Michael is adamant that he’d want an African-American man to play him, saying that because despite his skin disease making him pale, he’s still a proud black man at the end of the day.

Of course, the troll of the century, Stacey Dash, feels otherwise.

“I say, BRAVO! I’m sick and tired of being told ‘Sorry, Stacey, this is a Caucasian-only role,'” Stacey wrote in a new blog post. “Counterintuitively, this decision by Hollywood — which looks like a diss to Blacks — is actually what we’ve been saying all along: roles should NOT be based on color.”

“This decision throws that white-only card out the window,” she added. “They can’t look at Black actors and say, ‘Sorry this role is Caucasian-only.’ Roles should not be dictated by race…I want to see more of this diversity and thinking outside of the box with the equality that this designation entails – this is the right track.”
