General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just saw 5 minutes of an Enid Blyton's FAMOUS FIVE film on BBC 1 earlier.. Yep surprise surprise.. Georgina and her mother are Black!!!! If Georgina's mother, and the other kids mother, are supposedly sisters How come they aren't coloured too
I noticed the same situation in an Agatha Christie film. that was on recently. Set in the 1940's 50's with a young(looked about 18) black Scotland Yard detective... Anyone who lived in these times know You NEVER saw a black policeman never mind a Black Scotland Yard detective aged 18.. The only black people I saw, where pit men. On their way home after working down a pit for 8 hours..How come its now the norm for black people to take on parts of white people Yet none of white people taking the parts of Black People??? Can you image the furor if Tom Hanks played Martin Luther King in a film..
