That's who The Lone Ranger is based off of. They swapped him out for the white guy.

Have y'all now seen the lone ranger. It's a Tarzan movie, full of white supremacist, white savior innuendos. A Black Lone Ranger at that time in American history would have to be different.

It's not a, "he just happens to be black" case. A black male character in the same ole lone ranger stories would look crazy & inauthentic. I read the og post, not misunderstanding.
