As it is, they had to butcher the story to make the main character work as a black man. Does that mean a black man should not star in a western? No. It just didn't work in that particular instance.

But by your logic, I'm a racist. Is that how it's supposed to work?

On the flip side, Sam Jackson as Nick Fury was fantastic. That change didn't harm the story; it was a different way of looking at that character.
I'd say Sam Jackson doesn't count cause he's the Ultimate version of Nick who was always purposely designed to look like or pay homage to Sam Jackson.

Now if the Ultimate Universe never existed......
