This is getting out of hand. Do negroes have no classic mythology or history of their own? Orientals have theirs. Arabs have theirs. Europeans have theirs. Yet African Negroes have to reimagine themselves in the mythologies and histories of other cultures. “Diversity” seems to be nothing more than a seething jealousy of the success of White literature and culture. Jealousy is why they force other cultures/races into Medieval English folklore. But it doesn’t work. When I see an “English” black guy in a Robin Hood story, for example, it breaks immersion. A rat born in a stable is not a horse. It has nothing to do with my feelings toward Africans. Morgan Freeman’s Azeem worked in Prince of Thieves because he was a Moor who pledged a life-debt to Robin during the crusades. So it didn’t feel forced. Unless these negroes are playing some type of “Redguard” race in Middle Earth, it will feel forced and people won’t like it.
