Actually it would be funnier the worse the politics of it.
So like a bunch of black British actors as the Founding Fathers talking about how they are white in the movie and a group of white actors playing slaves while doing the Nick Mullen Nigerian sandal salesman voice?
It seems like a struggle session happens no matter what so I want to see what the best one is. Am I taking away black roles from black actors by casting the slaves as white? White people get mad for casting all of the Founding Fathers as black, except for Ben Franklin, who is Chinese? Black American actors get mad because I used only black British actors? There's so many potential struggle sessions lol.

Franklin's racism was weird as hell, he'd probably be just as offended by being played by a Swede.
Can't blame him, I mean who'd want good Saxon stock being poorly portrayed by a dirty Swede.
