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

[thekingsmen]

I've met hundreds of Africans from all over the continent and met all shades of color. Beautiful regardless.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

nice cop out...........

How about these..................let me know when you start feeling stupid.........

fredrick and all of these people are biracial.

I have no problem saying Bob Marley is biracial, hes still jamaican and an icon

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

She had to fight for the role?


bytch please

 

[NoChillJones]

fredrick and all of these people are biracial.

I have no problem saying Bob Marley is biracial, hes still jamaican and an icon

Yet many of them were proponents of black concerns/issues........so to my original point......yes they are all black....they are treated like blacks, they were treated like slaves, they were fighters of your arrogant ass freedom. Who are you or anyone to judge their blackness?......You nikkas need to do better.........I seriously pray none of "not black" cats have kids......

That's false
And down right stupid. Horners are indigenous Africans genetically.

But i dont wanna turn this into a long winded debate on the admixture of horners, cause I simply don't wanna waste that much time. So let's agree to disagree

Horners are a mix of a south sudanese looking population + a middle eastern looking population in the past. That is well attested genetically I won't belabor it. You can see the huge Yemeni nose and short stature on the habeshas clearly. How come you never see the wavy hair some horners have in other black populations in the whole of Africa from the san in sa to congo to west africa to chad, you have to be blind to see the conclusions.

Berbers can be black and infact most are lol. Berber and arab are not races. They're similar to hispanics. It's a culture.

In Sudan a lot of black Africans claim to be arab

Berbers being black ?

Tell them that to their face and see what happens. Berber is not a culture, real Berbers are in the mountains where they took refuge from the arab invaders. There is definitely a ssa element in some of them, which is the result of intermarriage with arabs who are notorious for keeping and sleeping with black slaves and their was seepage into their gene pool that way, but for that they would all look full northern european. Just look at the amazighs of algeria and rifs of morocco. Does zidane look black to you ?

Sudanese are just arabized blacks we all know that.

smh.reread this thread, then read these other threads about Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone

Notice the same complaints in these Nina threads are the same self-awareness traits that Amandla Stenberg displayed in this story
Regardless if she was offered a role, instead of commending, encouraging her to continue on that path of consciousness, and supporting her self awareness that may inspire others to be, yall instead trash her about the very things mentioned in Nina Simone threads

Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone
Zoe Saldana to play Nina Simone in new biopic
Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

Another situation exposing some Black folks for just wanting the opportunity to complain, and not really concerned about forming a necessary solution and establishing consistency to achieve some form of change via that solution,
-which starts with self-awareness and consistency,
-sustained by a common code, and
-reinforced by rewarding each other via commitment, support and offering our time/talent and resources

I wonder what's the next situation to further expose the inconsistency, lack of code, and nonchalant "fight" against white supremacy, so far we have
1)Kaepernick protest
2)Monique critieria request
3)BP's "inspiration" hype
4)Amandla Stenberg, self awareness

 

[generic-username]

Is this what we doin now

The name Wright is just as foreign in Africa as Stenberg. Neither is an African name.

 

[agpxknt]

nikkas are almost 100 % African but have Italian grandparents


gotta let that man speak for himself

These are berber men from north africa. Those 2 tribes you listed is cherry picking. They are both from places right next to Spain so of course they look like that and no zidane doesn't look black but he also isn't a representation of all berbers which are way more diverse than those 2 tribes.
also you're correct about berbers are a ethnic group. My bad I added that by mistake.

Horners are routes lay in the egypt and nubia region. They are indigenous Africans with slight admixture from arabs but it is only significant on the coastal regions not all of east african. Yemenis are the mixed ones lol. Half them nikkas look full somali (which somalia did rule it for a few centries I think) It's not that cut and dry as you're trying to make it seem. A somali from the coastal region near yemen may be more admixed (still not by a large amount) but a somali from Mogadishu wont be.

Also people sudan don't even look like Manute Bol like you're trying to say. You ever seen a nubian? They look east african.

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.

yo this nikka be in all the damn movies


but she dumb as hell cause there's plenty of brown/light skinned Africans


she turned down a good role cause she scared of Blavity Blacks ....pathetic

 

[T'krm]

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.

This is clearly a joke, right!!
As many liteskin Nigerians walking around.. Hell my uncle is one!!

Those are tuaregs in mali, mauritania and the sahel, the furthest they reach north is southern algeria, I had friend named ben who was a tuareg, man those guys are an admix of berbers, arabs and africans, real un admixed berbers are in the mountains as I told you. No admixture from spanish or italian, ironically they are lighter complected than both italians and spaniards lol so you suggestion is futile.
I have seen real berbers myself and trust me they are very pale, ever paler than germans, more like the celtic populations you see in the british isles.

Most guys wouldn't make a fuss about it.. It's usually women complaining about other women in these kinds of things.

yeah right...

black women are vocal about this because it continuously happens to them where they have biracial actresses playing roles that is meant for black women. Black men are better represented in films than black women so black men don't fuss about colorism in Hollywood.

If Tchalla was played by Jesse Williams or Micheal Ealy there would have been a fuss about it. and rightfully so.
