I found that truly astonishing. Anne Boleyn was not black.

Not really, no. You're absolutely right: you would indeed expect minorities to be overrepresented in advertising to some extent (and I speak from experience, having been a copywriter from the mid-eighties onwards). They always have been. But not to the extent where 3% of the population makes up nearly 50% of the people in commercials. That is something new, different, and frankly odd. It's even odder that it's specifically black people, as I have noted, and not other ethnic minorities.

Again, bad casting. Othello should actually be black, not blacked-up.

If the revolution is "supported by the majority of the island's population", why will the Cuban regime not hold free and fair multi-party elections?

Answer: because it knows it is not supported by the majority and would lose. It can only stay in power by implementing totalitarianism and rigged elections.

As for China and Saudi Arabia, you're absolutely right – they're both as unpleasant as Cuba; the latter potentially even more so. But that's not what we're discussing here.

Your crocodile tears about "[driving] a legitimate civil rights movement from the streets" are persuading nobody of your commitment to human rights. You openly applaud it when the Cuban regime imprisons, tortures, brainwashes and murders peaceful political opponents on the basis that they are "counter-revolutionary criminals".

The simple fact is that you are arguing that black is white: that liberal democracies are dictatorships and dictatorships are liberal democracies.

It's the blatantly cynical position that is always taken by communists and other defenders of totalitarianism.

I repeat: you are fooling nobody.

A black Anne Boleyn, on the other hand, is nothing short of ludicrous.

I'd regard Jesus as a fictional character
