actress Tessa Thompson getting love for tweet regarding biracial representation in movies

[CarbonBraddock]

if life is hard for you as a mutt, then maybe you should blame your c00ning mother for laying down with a white man

Half the black kids in film and movies are biracial, despite the adult actors being black.

I was just coming to say this ish man.

Or two black parents with a biracial looking kid, n the husband ain't looking at his wife funny.

I have nothing against biracial people EXCEPT for when they're pushed as the image of blackness.

They're def degrees of black, and understand the struggle(i hope) but when they're held up as the standard for blackness, i object.

Leave it to Hollywood, it'd be nothing but pink n golden people in all the movies.

Panther was the first movie i saw where EVERYONE black looked undiluted.

(No offense intended in regards to dilution)

Its not good to just simply dismiss someones experiences which is basically dismissing their life.

Hating on biracials for no other reason other than they are biracial is racist, evil, weak and stupid.

NO ONE choosea to be bi/multiracial. Just as noone chooses to be what ever unmixed race they are.


Remember being problack doesnt mean being anti anyone else.

There is an entire generation of black people who up until social media, had no real interaction with other black people, little understand of black culture and did not even know where to look for black representation.

that same generation now has a voice, and somehow became the influencers of black culture online.

Honestly I prefer this.

I would rather them represent biracials as actual biracials than trying to cast biracials with 2 black parents.

This is why Spider-Man homecoming didn't bother me. Chick was biracial in real life and the movie, just like Amandla Sternberg.

I only start to have a problem when biracials take the roles of black people

 

[Booker T Garvey]

if she's biracial then this tweet makes absolute sense.

the fact that this would evoke ANY type of emotional (anger, frustration) response is some truly psychotic shyt.

 

[AV Dicey]

There's something about Mary was a movie about a biracial family


















frank and beans!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, this.

There seems to be a confusion in comprehension going on in this thread. It's looking like one side is interpreting it as her being happy to see bi-racials (actors/actresses) on screen when she is really expressing how nice it is to see bi-racial families being represented (mother/father/child) on screen....which totally makes sense because, while it's plenty of peoples' realities, a lot of biracial actors get cast in mono-racial roles.

I don't trust half-cacs unless they renounce their white side

otherwise they still retain some identification and empathy with whiteness

shut the fukk up

 

[JackRoss]

Been waiting for her to say some other shyt

CANCEL THIS bytch

 

[JackRoss]

Smh.. Now mixed people have it hard in life. Give me a fukkin break.. Take that shyt up with your parents

 

[Lord_nikon]

We have black panther and they have
biracial in time.

I could see what she is saying. Every commercial now though has biracial kids and interracial parents so things seem to be coming along.

Its getting kinda weird though. In the show "Everything Sucks" on Netflix, one of the main characters who looks likes a younger version of dude who played Black Panther, has a white father.
