Here's the issue everyone is dancing around. When the white lady plays a historical black character, is she going to imitate black speech? There's a whole heaping mound of historical issues there that I'll be disappointed if I have to explain to you.

Have you ever been to a historical reenactment? People dress in period costume, and typically talk like they are the people they are portraying.

The whole story isn't worth dedicating brain cells too, but you asked to hear from someone who disagrees.
