Oops, he did it again.

After withdrawing his endorsement of Donald Trump, Anthony Mackie has dug himself into another black hole. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Mackie suggested it is not critical to have a Black person in the director’s chair for the production of Marvel’s first black superhero film. He went on to say, “They didn’t get a horse to direct Seabiscut!” 

Excuse me, Mr. Mackie but uh, if you haven’t noticed, Black people are not horses. He’s quickly becoming our #1 candidate for the racial draft.

What do you think, beauties? Do we need a Black director to direct Black stories?
