absolutely agree. moreover we lost a great actor and the response is we also lost a great character. a character who not only deserves to shine for the strength of the character alone (probably a top 10 character for me) but theres also what he represents for all the little black boys in the world. a character who wasnt repurposed to be black to fit a quota or to be woke token representation but an original property thats theirs and no one elses. and a character that shines just as brightly as any other character not because he's black but because he's just a great character that happens to be black.

Chadwicks death was a tragedy but the response, in an effort to honor him, is a travesty.
