There were no African medieval Scottish lords, no African Norse characters,

Shakespeare's Macbeth is itself a fiction - written to placate and impress James I & VI and pander to his prejudices and superstitions, not to record history accurately.

Of the few physical features known of the real Macbeth was that he was 'fair of hair and red of face'. How many British actors who've played the role fit that description?

There were no African lords in medieval Scotland or Britain. How an African approximates the idea of fair of hair and red of face is a task you would struggle to explain - yet you bring it up as some sort of argument.

There needs to be a degree of verisimilitude to make a tale, a parable, illustrative and its meaning believable. You wouldn't cast two rabbits when staging the he story of the hare and the tortoise. Or Boris Johnson to play Bazza O'Bama. It would be a jarring, unbelievable distraction.

Look, I don't even know what movies you're talking about. I'm not a racist building a list.

A list of reality is racist now? You mad or something, boy, or just plain stupid?

Verisimilitude, eh! So you're sold on the witches and their prophecies, then. Would they have to be Scottish women, or could you live with them looking more like dishevelled androgynous Romanies ?

The witches were things of the time - still are with some claiming to be witches etc today - Black Lords were not. Easy as pie.

The idea of a Black Lord was raised in various legends of King Arthur, with Sir Sagramor being a ... Moor.. as the -mor implied, Moor being a generic term for a Sallow. Most say he was the son of a Hungarian Lord and a Roman lady ... something like that.... but given the breadth of the Roman Empire that preceded Arthur (Artorius) a bit of the old tar brush is not outside consideration.....

Black Scottish Laird? Hmmmm... NO!

Apparently the Jesus we're used to seeing was Michaelangelos boyfriend. Just like the Little Mermaid was a parable about unreturned gay love

So Mermaids are gay? I feel that is 'reading-in' way too much. The little mermaid was female - who was the love interest? I don't know about you, but 'mermaid' clearly indicates female, and prince clearly indicates male... you know - women/man polarity?

WTF are you on about this time?

And is utter bullshit. Just another gay fantasy. Gay love between a real man and a real woman is impossible. It doesn't matter if Andersen was gay - the story is not.

Are you saying that Somerset Maugham's stories are all gay? Or that Michelangelo's paintings are all gay? so we need to see every Elton John hit as a gay thing? Every Dusty Springfield song as lesbian? The Seekers hits all gay and lesbian? Sales would have been dismal if that were the case.

All those show is how much accepted the gay/leso community are in reality, without all the BS about stampeding for their 'rights' etc.

The desperation of the 'gay' lobby is showing daily with every attempt to twist everything into their idea of reality. All that is required for gay stupidity to flourish is for a few good closets to do nothing - here's to a few good closets......

You are grasping at straws only you can see.

There were no African nobles and kings in medieval Scotland just as there were no fair of hair and red of face Zulu kings. And if Billy Connoly had been cast as a Zuli king circa 1234 AD you would have seen it as the joke it would have been.
