White Actor Cast To Play Michael Jackson

Well, here we are. We’re at the point where White people just don’t give a f***. We’re right on the heels of #OscarsSoWhite but Hollywood has no chill in the situation. Joseph Fiennes is going to play Michael Jackson in a road trip movie set around 9/11. Why is this a big deal?

Because Joseph Fiennes is a White man. A very White British man.

What. The. Hell. Do better, White people. Obviously, we’re not the only people who think this is crazy. Take a look at the reactions.

White people playing gods of Egypt wasn't bad enough. Joseph Fiennes (Young Shakespeare) will play Michael Jackson. pic.twitter.com/Kq3xoNsOVL

White people really trying to prove to me that Michael Jackson needs to be casted as a white man. The actual audacity of whiteness is gross

They cast a white guy to play Michael Jackson. I think we can admit that this whole “planet earth” thing isn’t working out.

Michael Jackson was BLACK, okay? I know it hurts to admit it for some white folks who wanna see him as ‘colorless’, but he was BLACK.

Joseph Fiennes: I really want to audition for the role of Michael Jackson. Me: No. You're white. That is enough now. #ThePreventer
