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

[GreatestLaker]

Man shut the hell up. Most black people in Africa are dark skin. Stop trying to spin that American shyt.

And so what if there are light skinned blacks in Africa? that still doesn't change the fact that Amandla is half white and not black.

 

[Max Power]

She's a weirdo half bedwench, she would have ruined that shyt with her presence.

 

[Turk]

She's right. Shuri is a darkskin Black woman in the comics, it wouldn't have made sense for a lightskin biracial chick to play her

 

[stepbackj34spud]

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.

 

[ORDER_66]

WHAT?!?!?!

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

good riddance

we don't need the half-cacs spoiling our moment of black excellence on the big screen

 

[paperbag]

What character would she have been?? I can't see her fitting any role other than maybe killmongers girlfriend

 

[stepbackj34spud]

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.

Facts. And most blacks in Africa aren't biracial either. This isn't America.

I wish these mixed people would sit this movie out.

 

[FLATOP]

Why she got a suit on?.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

What character would she have been?? I can't see her fitting any role other than maybe killmongers girlfriend

She lieing ain't nobody offer that bytch a role

 

[Verbal Kint]

If she was going to play a Wakandan this was a good move. Sure not every African is dark skinned but she's clearly mixed and I'm not mad at a movie with all brown/dark skinned folks

 

[EMY]

Why she got a suit on?.

she one of them weird ass bytches

 

[Cadillac]

Yeah I think she lying there wasn't no offer for a role

 

[Beck.er.]

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.

Wakanda was never colonized, invaded or had any relations with whites.

Van Vicker's father is white.

I'm impressed by her awareness.

 

[Doobie Doo]

She never heard of a lightskinned African?

Honestly there's more to it than that. SOMETHING behind the scenes happened cuz that's the most bullshyt excuse I've heard in a minute.

Sigourny Weaver was an African queen for fuk sakes I think she could pass.
