I have to say that I havent seen the original movie, so have no idea about its concept, the adaptation and all. But seeing all these black actors/singers confirmed one after another... cant help but feel this is a gimmick. I mean.. just a black actors show? its not something realistic, its clearly done to appeal to just one audience. Something I wont ever understand, but this is how some networks/producers think, so...

it was a Broadway musical that had an all-black cast and won 7 Tonys and then went on to become a movie adaptation that starred Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.

The setting is in Harlem, so yeah, it's all black cast.

tell her off!

Man, y'all young folks are a deprived generation.  You guys have never seen The Wizard of Oz or The Wiz? They used to show The Wizard of Oz every year during Thanksgiving. And The Wiz is pretty near a classic in the black community.

Well The Wiz is an all black take on The Wizard of Oz, the play and the movie was an all black cast.

what movie? because I remember pieces of a White adaptation decades ago.
And whats the real source of this? is it a novel or traditional tale? Not sure the original source was about a whole black roster of characters, u know what  I mean?

"The Wizard of Oz" Was the original Movie with an all white Cast
"The Wiz" was/is a remake/rework with an All Black cast

Simple..

And No I don't think it's racist at all lol, it's staying true to the story.. If that's the case Then NBC and every other network that continously have all white cast are Racist... lol

That's kinda the point of this thread.
Not here for a separate but equal is OK speech

Just tell me of its racist to have an all black cast

If not, then how come so many actors and actresses complain about all white casts. Just go star in a show like the Game and be happy
