When Idris Elba, aka Stringer Bell from The Wire, was cast as Heimdall in Thor, I thought it was odd casting. “So Odin has a black son now? That’s weird,” I thought, and then I shrugged and took a bite of my sandwich and forgot about it forever. Of course, for the types that get angry when something says “Season’s Greetings” instead of “Merry Christmas,” casting a black guy as “the white god” was pretty much guaranteed to be a nearly endless source of self-righteous bitching. I mean worshiping false idols is one thing, but a BLACK pagan? Too far, man, too far.
DEY TOOKKK YER JAWBS!
Norse mythology gets multi-cultural remake in upcoming movie titled “Thor,” Marvel studios. It’s not enough that Marvel attacks conservatives values, now mythological Gods must be re-invented with black skin.
It seems that Marvel Studios believes that white people should have nothing that is unique to themselves. An upcoming movie, based on the comic book Thor, will give the Aesir an insulting multi-cultural make-over. One of the Gods will be played by Hip Hop DJ Elba. [CoCC]
HAHAHAHA — (*checks Idris Elba’s Wikipedia page*) Aw crap, he actually is a hip hop DJ? Well that’s not a very clever insult then, is it. Anyway, the Council of Conservative Citizens (formerly the White Citizens’ Council) is organizing a boycott. And that’s a shame, because I was really looking forward to hearing what Andrew the racist speech impediment kid would have to say about it.

“Happy Holidays…is what terrorists say. Merry Christmas.”
-Jack Donaghy
Kevin Costner from ‘Dances with Wolves’ and Tom Cruise from ‘The Last Samurai’ have respectfully been asked to sit this one out.
Well, now I know what they meant when they said Odin had one black eye.
I don’t know what everyone is getting all upset about. When I’m alone at night and see a black guy I immediately start praying.
Wouldn’t their acronym just sound more fitting if they were the CoCKKK?
Look, if you’re going to complain about hip hop in Marvel movies, complain about that guy from Black Eyed Peas in Wolverine.
Not because he’s black, of course. Because he’s awful.
Yo, where all the white valkyries at?
A’ight, I’m outta here. Don’t worry man, I’ll Valhalla.
Wow, Thursday afternoon already, huh? Listen Mr. Mancini, I don’t mean to sound like the (borderline personality types / single mothers) who typically harass you about the Frotcast, but how’s that coming? Do we have an ETA? What about COB today? That way I can download it before I leave work and listen to it tonight at my leh-zure, soup to nuts.
Best,
Meat John Doe
PS: I can’t believe the Frotcrew haven’t hated on “Best” as a closing. A correspondent using it might as well pop his collar and “ice” the recipient.
Of a ll the things to be upset about, Racists choose the wierdest shit. rather than complain about how he’s now playing a blondhaired blue eyed god why not complain that he fucks your daughter better than you do?
As a programming note, SpikeTV starts shooting episodes of ‘Racists Choose the Weirdest Shit’ for Summer 2011.
Sorry, hoss, we had a Tron screening on normal Frotcast recording night. It’ll be up tomorrow morning. We’ll be talking about Over the Top, so you can check that out on Netflix Instant or something if you want to be up to speed.
I’d make a joke about Rainbow Coalition having built the Rainbow Bridge, but everybody knows the fuckers in that organization don’t work for a living.
How much did they protest when Elba was cast as an articulate person in The Wire?
I just like the idea of the CoCC pronouncing their acronym phonetically. I’d love to see a huge group of old racists outside a movie theater chanting “LONG LIVE THE COCK!”
In Black Swan, Natalie Portman organized a cocc boycott.
/That movie did not leave me flacoccid.
My Mexican organization, Si o si si, does not approve of the White Citizens’ Council’s name change.
If you fellas are talking “Over The Top,” you take all the time you need!
Interior monologue: “Over the Top? Isn’t that the Stallone movie that’s like Kramer vs. Kramer–but with more arm-wrestling? Could there be a newer movie reusing the same name? *Googles* Nope, that’s the one. Faaantastic.”
“I’d love to see a huge group of old racists outside a movie theater chanting “LONG LIVE THE COCK!””
Twilight: Breaking Dawn, opening in Salt Lake City in 2011.
Really makes you wish that Donald Glover was Spider-Man, doesn’t it?
[pictured] By getting blown, Heimdall ceased to be the headless Norseman.
Shit, Marvel has given leading roles to Tobey Macguire, Hugh Jackman and Ben Affleck. How much more lily-white can you get?
Wait til they find out that the full title is Tyler Perry’s Thor.
I am very sympathetic to this group’s concerns.
*casts Bow Wow as Jesus in Tha Dopest Story Ever 2old.
In other Wire-alumni-with-music-in-their-blood news, Capt. Daniels writes and records terrible songs under his “real” name, Lance Reddick.
Coincidentally, “Lance red dick” was the ER nurse’s suggestion to the doctor when C-Tatez was rushed in after Scalded-Penis-Gate.
Sorry, “Every Other Rank BUT Capt.” Daniels.
For coloured gods who considered suicide when guarding the rainbow is enuff.
That look on Elba’s face occurred when a careless typo had him watching the Bifrot.
I made the mistake of clicking on the link to the CoCC…. I need a shower now.
We should just be thankful that, having already used his likeness for the new Nick Fury, they weren’t able to cast Samuel L Jackson in the role of Odin.
casts Bow Wow as Jesus in Tha Dopest Story Ever 2old.
CoCCtease.
I wonder if the CoCC gave a shit when Heimdall had a range of flat-packed furniture named after him…
The head of CoCC has been flaccid ever since he saw that still. He was heard to explain to his wife: “Able was I ere I saw Elba.”
A palindrome from a Palin-drone, what!
@ Larry
Brings me to my point.
*In mock Farrakahn voice* White people had White Jesus this whole time that looked nothing like the real one. Now they’re getting mad because a comic book character isn’t white!? See this is what I’m talking about. First ya’ll take people’s land, then our freedom, then you take rock and roll, and now you want to…
You know what? Forget this! *takes out gun. fires shot in the air* Everybody On The Ground! Empty Your Pockets And Drop It In The Bag!!!
“I mean worshiping false idols is one thing, but a BLACK pagan?”
Well why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles.
*wink*
Chocolate Norseman sounds like one of Darryl Dawkins’ nicknames.
The CoCC is a sub-division of the C.I.L.T
Well, you know there are Black Irish
I would’ve said “Irishmen”, if I actually believed them to be human.
Dingus, I would tell you to go fuck yourself, but my mouth is too busy eating out your sister.
Thor= God of Thunder
Heimdall= God of Chocolate Rain
Idris Elba played ‘Stringer Bell’. For that alone the guy can play whoever the fuck he wants for as long as he wants.
*Grethor sluggishly rolls into the thread, a day late and a dollar short*
The Council of Conservative Citizens? Wouldn’t everyone be happier if they just went ahead and changed it to The Kouncil of Konservative
KlingonsKitizens?I heard that at one point, Peter Jackson was considering a black actor for the role of Aragorn. Nothing against Viggo, but that would’ve been a great move.
I mean, his ancestors were called the “Black Numenoreans.”
OH NOs! People of more than one color living and working together, what ever will we do?
We should build an Island for black people, and island for white people, shoot the Asians in to space on a rocket, make the Jews live in a system of tunnels and put all the Mexicans on airplanes that are never allowed to land. That way, all our races and cultures can stay separate, the way the CCC and god intended. Who wants a ‘melting pot’ anyway.
