Watch: Liberals Just Declared Star Wars ‘Racist’- The Reason Why Is Mind-Blowing
For some, the Star Wars movie series, which first came out in 1977, are apparently overtly racist.
MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry was biting her tongue Sunday as she admittedly “spent the whole day talking about the whole Darth Vader situation.”
One could say Harris-Perry took on Star Wars with her own lightsaber, slashing the movie with an evident racial fury. She even handled a lightsaber in the intro to the relevant segment of her show.
Harris-Perry said, “The part where he (Vader) was totally a black guy…while he was black he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men’s hands and didn’t…actually claim his son. But as soon as he claims his son and goes over to the good. he takes off his mask and he is white. Oh yes. I have many, many feelings about that, but I will try to put them over here … why do people love Star Wars so much?”
Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters this week and is expected to shatter a number of box office records.
John Boyega, who is a black actor from London, England, plays a Stormtrooper in the film, the first black Stormtrooper in the Star Wars films. Boyega addressed the racial controversy of a black man playing the traditional white Stormtrooper.
“Get used to it… I’m in the movie, what are you going to do about it? You either enjoy it or you don’t. I’m not saying get used to the future, but what is already happening. People of color and women are increasingly being shown on-screen. For things to be whitewashed just doesn’t make sense … All the films I’ve done have had a secret commentary on stereotypical mentalities,” he said in an interview given to V Magazine.
