Hollywood or the long walk to institutionalised racism.

So kick ass diction fans.

 I am here to discuss something which to me is an incredibly aggravating topic. Why is Idris Elba playing Nelson Mandella? Don’t get me wrong with the exception of MickyBrickOthello Adrian Lester the Elba is probably the best black British actor alive today. Other suggestions on a post card please. But that’s just the point, the movie industry’s I hate everyone who’s not American or little American (England) Or that American’s camp buddy (Canada). Yet in all seriousness is their not one black South African Actor to portray the hero of their country? Is their genuinely not a single actor in South Africa? This severely riles me. Conall does not like institutional racism. 

So here’s my top 5 suggestions of People who would be better than Elba to play Mandella.

1). Any Black South African. At least they’ll have a real S.A accent. 

2). Mandella himself Morgan Freeman. Anyone who’s seen Invictus will know the truth. Plus he’s a great actor. And don’t we just love him. I call it the Freeman love charm. He’s like Harry Potter, the sparkly one from Twighlight, Buddy the Vampire slayer, Sir Ian Mckellen, Brad Pitt and Arni. All mixed up into one elderly gentleman’s body. I still reckon he could beat me in a fight though.

3) Jennifer Lawrence. Ok this one’s a little left wing. But I think she’s a great actress… This is because of her talent not because I’m a fanboy or anything… *FANGIRL NOISE* Plus isn't she just the perfect example of a modern woman. I think their should be more people like her in hollywood. Without eating disorders and no humor impairments. Oh and genuine talent...

4). Archbishop Desmond tutu and his nobel peace prize. He was their as well… #Realism. 

5) Forest Whitiker and Daniel Day Louis. Alternatively having a scene each Whittiker and Louis would just method the part to madness. They’d probably imprison themselves on Robben Island. But combined playing the single Part of Mandella they would be an unstoppable pair. And wouldn’t this be a great display of racial equality. Though this would be a really mad Rainbow Nation.

These suggestions probably aren’t that good except the first 1 and the third one… The others are a bit like putting mud in a cup and calling it coffee. You work that one out.
Because that’s just how Conall sees it.
