    Even this video shows how popular his character is. And how viewers black and white didn’t see anything wrong with his monologues. We enjoyed his character there was no need to fire him, but for that new showrunner Charles Eglee’s own fear of black people caused by the guilt of the treatment of black people. But that has nothing to do with us (black people) he doesn’t know our minds. Orlando will not be returning, I don’t think he would return even if that man begged. So know I can’t wait to see what awesome work Orlando will do next, he is a great talent and will be spectacular in whatever he does.

      I'm highly bothered and offended by this monologue.
      1. its not in the book at all.
      2. getting angry might get you a refund at a retail store, but I can't name one other situation in the past or present where 'anger got anything done.' we trash talk in sports to get the opponent angry and off his game. when black ppl get angry over an assassinations or jury verdict we kill each other & burn down our own neighborhoods, JUST like that ship on the show.
      who was on that boat in the book, that mr. nancy had burn down on the show?

      @"was no need to fire him"
      I do agree!!! 100%
      there was absolutely no need to even "allegedly" tell Mr. Jones that they wanted to tone his character down, b/c in the book/source material he only has 2 more non-confrontational appearances after his 1st introduction at the carousel.
      During the TMZ interview, they reference the producer as saying "he wasnt fired, his character just isnt in the next installment." which is more likely and believable than firing a man on his day off.
      Orlando Jones is the new jussie smollett.

      My apologies. Most people haven't read any of the books & are drawing the wrong conspiratorial conclusion, following orlando playing his race card, by trying to make it racist. these arm chair revolutionaries are up-in-arms over Orlando, claiming to be "allegedly" fired over a viral meme that 1. he didnt write & 2. nor was it from the book. So why was it on TV? angry does not get shit done... it only cause 700+ afircan americans to kill each other in chicago (alone) each year. or burning down their own homes when a verdict doesnt go their way.
      American Gods:
      B/c the boat was burned down the TV show, the writers of season 1 killed off two of the most historically influential & 'should be" iconic figures in african-american history, that was on the boat in the book: Bookman Duty & the teacher of Marie Laveau.
      Nansi Boys:
      Everyone's looking for a rebellious Mr Nancy to reappear to talk some senseless shit (in his HBO special: hoes up pimps down suits), but he's not a main character nor does he behave like that in any of the books. & this book could be a comedy, romance, mystery played by the Wayan brothers.

      @@tjalliemicheaux3719 You are factually incorrect. Anger does in fact get shit done. This nation was founded on anger. The protests, the riots, the war, that ultimately led to this country separating from Great Britain was all fueled by anger. To deny this is to deny history. You want to talk about African American's killing each other? Look at the causes of this: Poverty, terrible housing, inferior food, lesser educational materials for over crowded and underfunded schools, increased police presence, stereotyping, and brutality, fewer job opportunities, drugs that were introduced into their communities from outside parties. The list goes on, but you're not looking for legitimate information. You're looking to prop up your false narrative. You're looking to stand here with your pathetic straw man argument.
      "He's not a main character" He is a main character. He literally plays the long game the entire time. The man has his own spin off. If you're going to go off of what is just based on the books, then you choose to ignore the fact that the show doesn't follow the books half the time anyway. That can't be the case though because you just acknowledged it. So which is it? You can't pick and choose when you want the show to adhere to the books, just to suit your own argument.

      ​@@MuShinnen So you're saying MLKjr & civil rights protest were not peace but angry protests? Okay...
      & other that that one, what other protest 'got shit done'?
      - missing ballots in FL (bush)
      - trumps election
      - DAPL
      - Kent State
      - Occupy WallStreet
      - abortion clinics & death sentences
      If the Boston Tea Party (protest) was successful there wouldn't have been a revolutionary war?
      I agree, riots are fueled by anger, but please educate me on which riots made a change:
      - Watts
      - MLK
      - Rodney King
      - Baltimore
      has a riot ever overturned a court decision or anything other than black ppl burning down their own shit?

    What am I missing:
    1. Why wouldn't they allow him to do that scene, who wrote it?
    2. Jones told the Africans to do exactly what african-americans do "when they get angry... burn your [censored] down!"
    (dare I say anansi) Mr Nacy couldnt tell the captives to turn the ship around like the Amistad, go back home and fight like the native americans did the vikings on the show... b/c none of this drama played out like this in the book.
    3. does anger really get things done?

      The true conspiracy is not this HBO special looking pimps up hoes down, stereotypical anger & irresponsible black man allegedly being fired and then playing the race card

      if you're able to read & comprehend Gaiman's book/the source material & know anything about your true cultural icons:
      you'll see that Bookman Duty or the teacher of Marie Laveau were cut from the source material and replaced with this simon legree meme of self destruction
      you can't be that stupid seeing that when Nergos get angry all they do is kill each other and burn down their own neighborhoods & think that Orlandos meme is powerful and inspiring. SMH

      I don't think its me who missed the whole point ms/mrs Tjallie Miccheaux lol. But it ok you go ahead and hide behind "executive decision" and "well the books say" we are used to it. Because they have never changed the direction of the show from the original book ie Game of Thrones Walking Dead etc etc. But it's okay buddy it's fine to keep hiding behind what makes you comfortable.
