so black actor talks about trying to be spiderman
bunch of fan boys freak out because peter parker is white in the comics so therefore must be white in the movies.

my main problem with this, there's nothing really defining about the character that makes him white. it's not like thor. black thor would be kinda weird, like an asian black panther.

Sure, why not have a black spiderman. I think all racial and sexual isms should be smashed. Regardless of what the original is or was. I get sick of black white red green blue purple ! Fuck it. We all bleed red. Let peter parker be black. I want to play Hancock, in Hancock 2. Or maybe play Samantha in Sex and the city 3. :)
