Cat woman isn't a white character though and J.K. R. even said that nothing in the books indicated that Hermione is white, and she supported the casting 100%. There is a huge difference between a white person portraying a real black person (especially one like MLK) and a black person playing a fictional character that was previously played by a white person. And in both of the instances you mentioned, both black actresses received a ton of hatred and criticism as soon as it was announced that they got the part.

When has a black actor/actress ever portrayed a white person in a historical film?

I know this will get down voted, but I don't care. This post is the definition of privilege. Maybe if Irish people were still dealing with the effects of slavery today then they would still be talking about it. Black people in the U.S. still deal with prejudice every. single. day. Irish people don't have to go through that anymore. No one is asking for "free stuff". Blacks are asking for the freedom to walk down the street without getting shot by police.
