The Wiz aired last night on NBC live. For those of you who aren't familiar with The Wiz, it's a remake of the Wizard of Oz but here's the catch; it's with an all black cast.
Some Twitter followers who tuned into the show took it as far to say that they thought having an all black cast was racist. Not realizing that the Wizard of Oz consisted of All whites. We are programmed to think that an all black anything is unusual in America, or blacks should feel shameful for the thought.
It's a shame that it had to turn into a race issue but it seems to be the direction people are taking it. People can't seem to look past color in this day and age and recognize talent for what it is.
Let's focus on the positive:
Many celebrities shared their opinions of the show and most were very well expressed.
Overall the show was refreshing!
