Nobody went to see the original Ghostbusters movie, released in 1984, to watch Ernie Hudson. I'm talking about the core audience. The people you need to attract to sale the movie and make money. The audience was there to see Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. They were all big stars in the 80's. The studio used images of the main characters for marketing, which makes perfect sense when your talking about sales. Why else would the studio pay big dollars for big name actors? Ernie Hudson was a nobody back than. I never understood why they even bothered with Ernie Hudson to play Winston Zeddemore, but they did, and he's screaming racism today because he didn't appear in movie posters. Ernie Hudson was probably chosen because of his skin color, or he was just another supporting actor. He wasn't a necessary addition to the cast for Ghostbusters to be successful. That's just the cold, hard truth.
The left, ruling class, oligarchs or whatever you want to call them, want to paint America's past in White racism? And too many people want to be seen as a victim. It's a rewrite of history and not what actually happened.
