At the beginning of this year, I wrote an article exposing the Huffington Post's double standard and anti-White agenda when it comes to racialised casting in film and television series. The Huffington Post's position reflects that of the mainstream media at large, whereby persons of colour being cast in white roles is to be applauded, whereas Whites being cast in non-White roles is to be denounced. We have yet another high-profile example in the current news, as Indian actor Dev Patel has been cast in the forthcoming cinematic adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield entitled The Personal History of David Copperfield. Patel is best known for his lead role in 2008's Slumdog Millionaire, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA.
Neither his acting talent nor lack thereof are in question here; what ought to be apparent is that yet another White male actor has been discriminated against in the name of 'diversity'. In fact, judging by the photo above, the cast seems rather laden with men of colour. Catherine Zeta Jones having taken on a Hispanic role was an exception rather than the rule and her marriage into the Jollywood elite also probably had something to do with it, as well as other reasons into which I go in the article. In any case, it is the White male who is the primary target for blackwashing, because then the non-White man - White woman interracial couple can be propagandised as a norm in order to push White genocide through miscegenation. If you are new to Radical Rightist websites like this one, just watch any commercial break on television and you will see what I mean.
One of the latest tricks in television advertising is to use a White female cancer patient in such a relationship. This evokes pathos by using the woman's spiritedness while suffering from the disease so that the viewer's sympathies are aroused towards the family unequivocally. Of course, the meta-narrative is aimed at White genocide and the people in the advert are mere actors, but the general public absorbs this propaganda uncritically and pointing out the anti-White agenda in the advert would provoke a negative and hysterical reaction against the person pointing it out. And this would rather prove the point, because the masses would be synthesising the two narratives and critique of the miscegenated family would be bound up with a perceived attack on someone with cancer. And because no one wants to be seen as a sociopathic monster, the propaganda goes unchallenged, and so do the real monsters behind the propaganda, who know precisely what they are doing every step of the way and hide behind an ostensibly benevolent charity like Macmillan Cancer Support, whose CEO Lynda Thomas earns at least £161,000 per annum, because charity begins at home.... *cough*
To return to David Copperfield, the casting of a non-White has been perpetrated not only against Whites in general, but against Charles Dickens in particular. Dickens was firmly on the Right when it came to politics, as I have discussed several times before, setting up literary magazines to combat Whig propaganda, and was a disciple of the philosopher Thomas Carlyle. Dickens' novels and stories expose the evils of Whiggish liberal capitalism and exhort the middle classes into real and meaningful acts of charity. He gave public readings of A Christmas Carol, with a collection at the end so that the audience would donate alms for the poor. The Character David Copperfield was very much based on Dickens himself, who wrote in the preface to the 1869 edition:
Of all my books, I like this the best. It will be easily believed that I am a fond parent to every child of my fancy, and that no one can ever love that family as dearly as I love them. But, like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is DAVID COPPERFIELD.
David Copperfield's initials are a reversal of Charles Dickens' own and, although the episodes and characters in the novel are fictional, they are based on real characters and events in Dickens' life. Indeed, it is interesting that the novel is written in the first person. The original illustrations by Hablot Knight Browne (a.k.a Phiz to Dickens' Boz) show a very fair-looking boy and later man (see below) in keeping with the native English. If all this seems very obvious to you, it is because you either already see through the Leftist and Zionist establishment's lies or you were schooled before the minions of cultural Leftism completely rewrote the syllabi and history.
Much of our cultural information about the Victorian era comes via Dickens and cinematic interpretations of Dickens' work. Dickens as culture bearer pretty much dominates that period. As in all cultural texts, there is a degree of exaggeration for effect and characters sometimes tend towards caricature and events arranged as to engender the maximum emotive reaction. The idea behind this is to motivate people into doing good and combatting evil. Ninety percent of people are naturally lethargic until pushed and a mitigated and qualified examination of 'the condition of England' in novel form is not going to get people motivated and off their arses! Dickens' observations on the era are therefore true, but an exaggerated Truth. This contrasts with the Left, who have no commitment to Truth whatsoever. The casting of Dev Patel is to perpetrate a lie about our history quite deliberately, to plant the notion in the masses' consciousness that England and Europe beyond has always been multi-racial. To borrow from Marxism, the Leftist filmmakers are adding to the creation of a false consciousness in which White culture and civilization was not created by the White Man.
This is why we have seen a re-evaluation of the Victorian era over the last few years. One of the former incarnations of the Left - that of classical Marxism - very much sided with Dickens' view of Victorian England as exploitative of the workers. In fact, Marx and Engels borrowed heavily from Dickens' descriptions of English working class life. As the current Left has no interest in the White working class, made up as it is primarily of creamy bourgeois self-loathing Whites and a multi-ethnic rabble hailing largely from their respective countries' underclass, Victorian England has been re-presented and represented as a diverse melting pot seeped in racial hatred, with non-Whites portrayed as having been oppressed and struggling against adversity yet having gone on to somehow make some vital contribution to society. Examples of such texts are the 2003 book by various 'scholars' Black Victorians, Black Victoriana, Walter Dean Myers' 1999 book At Her Majesty's Request: An African Princess in Victorian England, Gareth H H Davies' book of last year Pablo Fanque and the Victorian Circus: A Romance of Real Life, the Radio 4 programme of 2010 Britain's Black Revolutionary about William Cuffay, the film Victoria & Abdul from last year directed by Jewish director Stephen Frears, and so on.
Victoria & Abdul is particularly significant in that the name Abdul is similar phonetically to Victoria's late husband Albert and is again an example of blackwashing, of directly replacing a White male with a non-White. In the film, Abdul very much serves as a replacement for Victoria's lost husband and becomes subservient to him in the way in which feminists scream hysterically about 'Patriarchy!' when it comes to the husband being White. The film is very much reminiscent of the 1997 film Mrs Brown, which uncoincidentally also stars Judi Dench in the same role of Queen Victoria. One could easily see this as essentially a remake in which John Brown has been blackwashed out by Abdul Karim, in which a White working-class male has been replaced by an 'ethnic minority'. Of course, blackwashing in cinematic remakes and reboots goes on all the time: think of The Equalizer, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Manchurian Candidate, The Fantastic Four, Annie, and so on.
The director of this latest and very deceptive and dishonest interpretation of David Copperfield is Armando Iannucci, the son of Italian anti-fascists. He is very much of the postmodern Left that deconstructs everything European. It would be inaccurate to call him a communist because he deconstructed Stalinism in his film The Death of Stalin - although I suspect he would never have ridiculed Trotsky's death. He is naturally beloved of The Guardian, who wrote a eulogy steeped in anti-White racial hatred, praising Iannucci for his allegedly 'colour-blind' casting. The Guardian is of course as dishonest as Iannucci himself. There is no colourblindness here, which is exposed by the producer Kevin Loader in the article itself:
"Armando always knew he wanted Dev,” says Loader. “Once you realise that,
then you’re making a statement about the fact that you’re going to cast
actors who are capable of embodying the character as perfectly as
possible, regardless of their ethnicity. I was standing on the side of
the set the other day, watching a scene between three of the younger
characters. I suddenly realised I was watching three young black British
actors in a Dickens adaptation, none of which were written as black
characters. And it didn’t seem odd. It’s just another scene in the film."
Loader makes the point that London in the 1840s was more diverse than
costume dramas tend to depict. “London was the centre of a huge global
empire and was full of everybody. Just as it’s a global city now.
Traditionally, Dickens adaptations haven’t reflected that."
It is the typical doublethink of the Left in which they try to convince themselves of being race blind and yet simultaneously obsess over race. If one thinks about it, one has to obsess about race if one wishes to convince oneself it does not exist, just as the atheist obsesses about the Judaic god. I think about race, therefore I am racially aware. And there yet again we see the Ministry of Truth in action, rewriting Victorian history, just as I have outlined above. We are diverse; we have always been diverse. There is no White genocide because there is no such thing as Whiteness, except when they deconstruct and denigrate it and place a White Woman next to a man of colour or a White Man next to an Asian woman as a prompt to miscegenate. Is that not propagandising White genocide? Is it not propagandising White genocide every time a White is replaced by a non-White in his own cultural text? Yes, blackwashing IS the promotion of White genocide.
The question remains as to what is to be done about all this. The first step is stop going to the cinema. As Iago says, "Put money in thy purse." After the box office abandonment of The Last Jedi, the Star Wars franchise is already in jeopardy. Let it be so with the whole establishment propaganda machine. Cut off the cash flow and you cut off their life's blood. Secondly, and I have said this many times, but will say it many more until people get off their arses and become proactive: become culture bearers yourselves. Learn our real history and write about it to inform others. Create your own films, stories and cultural texts for our own people. Write articles critiquing the anti-White anti-culture of the Left and Zionists like this one. It costs nothing but time. Thirdly, disseminate and publicise these texts far and wide and make people aware of their existence. It takes little effort. You can do it with a few clicks of the mouse.
Speaking of such texts, as if by magic, our latest episode of Mjolnir at the Movies is on cinematic adaptations of a Charles Dickens novel, as we look at David Lean and Roman Polanski's interpretations of Oliver Twist. Along the way, we discuss sexual abuse in Hollywood, the privileged status of the (((eternal victim group))), Tommy Robinson and his Zionist handlers, and racial awareness in history. And, as the still of Alec Guinness' Fagin shows, the Happy Merchant meme has a long and distinguished history:
I pointed out this issue to people when they started with children's shows and the Hollywood fantasy movies and was of course told it doesn't matter and I'm being paranoid. All coincidence. Then bigger and bigger historical fantasy shows started doing this to a greater degree. The political messages behind these moves got more blatant or outright stated in clear terms by character dialogue (Dr Who being notable well known show doing this). Then they started doing it with the great classics and pseudo-historical figures or European legends that the culture is built upon. Now they're getting closer to simply changing history itself to say that Europe was always this mix and nothing was ever changed to start with, so no one has any right to expect or demand any different. Even if that last claim of eternal "diversity" contradicts what they've celebrated in the past when they introduce these groups to populations for the first time.
There's also an element of demoralization propaganda in this, I suspect.
The producer of this latest Dickens film reminds me of interviews conducted at the end of the history/drama series "The Last Kingdom." I own both DVDs, 2 seasons, and watched the interviews in the Special Features segment, and watched the author of the books, Bernard Cornwell, being interviewed. I was somewhat surprised to see him assure the interviewer that England had always been subjected to waves of immigrants. Likewise the actor who portrays King Alfred, in his urban hipster garb, informed the interviewer, and the viewers, that London had always been a multicultural city. Of course the interviewer didn't clarify that the distinctions between Dane and Saxon were not of the same order as the gulf separating today's English and the invaders assaulting young girls.
If an alien from another planet landed here on Earth and just viewed commercials on USA cable, they would state that there are way more 'colored folk" than whites. Diversity has become the bullhorn of minorities. White countries are being over run with non-whites. Whether in Britain or the USA, the movies, classics or new, are to be less of us and more of them.
This article describes the modern left/liberal stance perfectly. I live in the UK where the situation has become so absurd that a Labour MP, Naz Shah, tweeted last year that child victims of Asian grooming gangs should 'shut their mouths for diversity'. She was not asked to resign or even apologise. This is just one of many examples of obscene attitudes found in the left in this country. I realise that this is a slightly different topic, but those people's sentiments are all derived from the same twisted source as those who indulge in 'blackwashing'. One of the underlying goals of the European Union is the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, this is White Genocide in action. This planned repatriation of 159,000,000 people from the Middle East and North Africa to the countries of Northern Europe was one of the desired by-products of the conflicts in the Gulf. It is felt by the EU (among others) that Europeans are far too strong-minded to be controlled easily, so our cultures need 'watering down' to give us more of a 'slave mentality' like that found in Islamic countries, battered unfairly for centuries as they have been by religious indoctrination. I've said enough, it's all out there if anyone cares to read about it. Some of you will already know. We are at war, not with black people, not with Asian people, but with those who seek to destroy ALL our cultures for the purpose of control. And you know what? I believe we can win.
I assume the people responsible for awakening Dickens from the dead see no reason for casting Tom Cruise as Ghandi or Matt Damon as Cetshwayo in a remake of Zulu.
Cultural Misappropriation is great as long as it is white culture that is being misappropriated. Are there any great non white authors, or does the misappropriation and fantasyland rewriting of history point to a dearth of such? Bit like celebrating black history there is none.We are all so proud we need to steal your culture as we have none of our own,pathetic.
