Paraphrase Practice

In this article i found a quote by actor Morgan Freedman and i will paraphrase below:
"I don't have a problem with that. You cannot reasonably ask a white writer to do it differently. Now, if we're going to start citing some unfortunates, it might be unfortunate that a black writer didn't write it, but if a black writer had written it, there's a good chance he wouldn't have found a producer. So there you are. This is a movie that did get made, and a story did get told, and that's what is important."
This is my paraphrase:
         There is not a problem about this but there is nothing to be said when a white writer writes his way because there is no way to correct him. Yet if a black writer wants to write their own way they might have a lot of difficutly figuring out who to tell their story.It is sad that a black writer wasnt able to write this but im just glad that the story was told. A movie was made, and a incredible story got told and that is all that matters.
