Biracial actress Amandla Stenberg on dropping out of Black Panther, believed she wasn't black enough

[Lordgodking Nyc]

This is stupid.

Not every person in Africa, paritcularly sub-saharan Africa, is dark as night and due to colonialism there are mixed people around or people with lighter complexions.
Below is probably one of the most famous Ghanian actors

The only people who would care or make a fuss are a few twitter nuts and people who are unhappy about EVERYTHING. Ignore them and get the paper and do the job. Its not that serious.

SALUTE THIS LIGHT SKINNED DUDE PAID MY RENT. FOR THE WHOLE 06 07 RUN. HIS AFRICAN MOVIES WERE CRACK to the black women in bedstuy.

While I respect Africans getting money it can't be deny that these African movies are sometimes unintentional comedy . Especially the titles and writing sometimes.

"Rihanna vs Beyonce" and shyt like that .

Dude is Van Vicker btw.

But that’s not what I’m arguing

I wish you nikkas would stop replying to me tryna argue a non-exist point. I’ve quoted the poster I was was responding to numerous times. He claimed all light skin Africans were the result of colonization which is false and I responded to that. Nothing more, nothing less.

You’re debating something I never even said :mjlol;

fine my bad

Black Panther was mulatto free

Something don't add up here. Why was she the ONLY light skinned person to apparently get an offer to be on Black Panther? A big point of Wakanda too is that it's an African nation that is in the heart of Africa and has never been colonized before.

When you take how meticulous Ryan Coogler was with this scene alone, you'd assume that the placement of a full black cast that isn't light skinned would be purposely done on his part, so this seems like bs to me

 

[Lordgodking Nyc]

Clearly there were no light skinned slaves on the slave ships. Never saw them depicted. From what I heard the redbones were bred mostly in Virginia.

 

[Luke Cage]

Ignorance

Find one of them to play the role then instead of casting a biracial person as one.
Ya'll caping for half italians like they represent light skinned africans in any way.

 

[3rdWorld]

lol. I doubt she was offered a role. She was trying out but probably got discourage with all the real black excellence she had to compete with. Ain't no biracials in Wakanda.

No where in the article did she say she was offered a role.

She says she got really really close..

breh my mother is fulani and most fulanis are brown skin. this shouldn't even be debatable. Are you gonna bout to say right now that Fulani's are lightskin? Fulani's basically have the same skintone as AAs. Unless you're gonna tell me next that AAs are lightskin too. both groups skin tone varies and have lightskins but for the most part are brown skin

and the same goes for Hausas from what I've seen

I clearly stated that Fulani's come in all shades and colors.

Fulani's Hausas, and etc all come in a variety of shades and colors. Darkskin, lightskin, and et. They're not all one thing.

Me stating that some Fulani's are lightskin ≠ all Fulani's being lightskinned. I can't understand what is so hard to process about that.

 

[ultraflexed]

I'm saying Africans are diverse. This concept that all africans look west african and the only variety in africa coming from colonialism is flaw.

@charmander is almost 100% african and looks more mixed than Amandla

Same for me even tho I'm dark I don't have west african features but im not mixed

the facts still stand

the majority of Africans pre-clonizatiom are brown to dark skin....the MAJORITY.

Yes him and Ramsey Noah were the engines of the poorly produced and mixed wave of mix tape movies that along with EXP releases that kept ya boy eating when the gunit wave decreased.

Van Viker made a appearance on no strand ave once. The mob of women. I was afraid for dude.

Thanks for the info breh

 

[ultraflexed]

My point was There are black people with Light skin that look like lightskinned Africans. And there are black people with light skin that look like they part anglo saxon. She falls into the anglo saxon camp. Your logic would make people believe that there are full blooded africans walking around looking like Meghan Merkle.
Thats false

this

 

[ThatTruth777]

some of yall are real disrespectful man

 

[Amirah Dyme's Husband]

nikkas in this thread be like "Shuri skin clor doesn't matter there are light skins Africans "

I wonder how y'all react if T'Challa was a light skin biracial dude

 

[ultraflexed]

nikkas are almost 100 % African but have Italian grandparents


gotta let that man speak for himself
