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.
She isn’t just light skin though, she’s mixed. It’s a difference.

I don’t think she turned it down. She was passed up most likely.

Just as there are light and dark skinned Asians...there are light and dark skinned indigenous Africans.

Some Berbers are lightskinned and they are neither Arab nor European. They are indigenous to Africa.
I know a North African that's 92% indigenous and he looks white as fukk with green eyes :francis:

I'm sure it would have been a few idiots on here or on twitter that harped on her skin color had she taken it.

I like her awareness on colorism though. You don't get that from lightskin people like that.
So she biracial huh? I thought both her parent's were black. She do know it's light skin Africans? I guess she know people are ignorant and didn't want backlash like when she died in that Movie Hunger Game's that white racist gave her.

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.

Umm breh were did I ever mention the role. I could give a fukk about who was casted in the movie. The whole point is kats on here think africans come in one color when they come in multiple colors throughout the continent of Africa.

So we really gonna sit here and rewrite the color spectrum for black people in Africa? Most Africans are dark skin. Miss me with this mixed/impure nikkas who are mixed down the line.

Lightskin nikkas refuse to believe they have white blood. They truly believe there's Beyonces, Steph Currys and Paula Pattons walking around Sub-Sahara Africa in great numbers. 9.5 out of every 10 Sub-Saharan Africans have dark brown skin.
