Boycott “The Matrix”?

Caught this on bet.com: a woman has set up a site, boycotthematrix.com. I don’t follow who’ll actually be in the sequels, although I’m amped about them, and thoroughly enjoyed the first…but the character who played “Tank” will not be back! I’m really surprised–he was my favorite character in the movie–a young, handsome black male with smarts–i identified with him quite well ;). i’m a bit upset. Here is a link to the full article on BET.

UPDATE 5/11: there is insufficient information for me to decide to boycott said film ;)

yeah i just decided--this will in no way stop me from seeing the matrix.

the "boycott" premise is kinda shakey.

lol
that would be fly--you are the only person i think that could pull this off.

i think you identify with tank 'cos he (marcus chong) was born in seattle, and you (uh sorta kinda) live in seattle ;)

I too identify with Tank.

I just hope they replaced the dude with a korean, which is the way it should have been in the first movie.

I also plan to start a cable channel called YET one of these days.
