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

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

why should she when she is half white...

Agreed. So she should stop going for black roles

 

[Prynce]

being light skin black is different from being biracial.
with this movie, wakanda had never been infiltrated by white's =no mixng= Africans are not naturally light skin,
anyone who has ever taken history beyond middle school should know this.
the only places in Africa where light skin black are in abundance are ones that have been concurred, or along shared bodies of water for trade

I have light skin African family members

My dad's people aren't mixed

 

[360Waves]

She's the same complexion as drake and this emoji

I’m going off the pic in OP where her makeup makes her look darker.

 

[ultraflexed]

There's african albinos, but them and the people in this pic, while lightskinned, have no other eurocentric facial features unlike that actress.

^^^^ An African American who has clearly never been to Africa lol.

If you spent 10 minutes in downtown Lagos, Nigeria you’d realize how stupid you sound. There are no Drakes walking around in Africa but there are plenty of light gold people like Amandla, and they aren’t mixed.

amandala looks biracial, she has biracial hair..she doesn't belong it's not just the skin tone..

 

[Sterling Archer]

STOP

pre-colonization the majority of Africa was brown to darkskin, not a huge spectum at all..

remember wakanda had never been concurred

Act like Khoisan people dont exist.

are we talking drake light skin
because jidena is Africans and so is tinashe and both mixed

 

[Fani Willis fan]

You usually can see the difference between a black person whos white lineage is far removed but just has a light complexion, and then a biracial person.

This girl has strong caucasian features.
Theres immediate cac relatives in her family tree lol..

you would have pretend the audience are all idiots to pass her off as a "light skin African"

 

[Turk]

he ain't lying though.

Khoisan are the only lightskin black people in Africa but they have a CLEARLY different phenotype than any mix race or biracial people

Cape Verdeans are heavily mix people

I don't consider Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans and Sudanese light skin. They're all mostly brown to darkskin. Will Smith is lighter than most of them and it's still hard for some people to call him lightskin. Fulanis and Tutsis are not lightskin either.

Khoisan's are the not the only lightskin Black people in Africa

like I said, there is a difference between being light skin and being biracial. And that one tribe does not represent the majority look of the sub-Sarah, your example is like black women trying to justify wearing blue contacts and a blonde wig by posting that picture of that little African boy with blue eyes and blonde hair.

even myself who is not by biracial, I have green eyes, my 2nd cousin is dark skin and bright blue eyes, yet he does not represent the eye color of everyone in our family in-fact he is the only one.
the majority of true Africans were brown to dark skin before colonization.

wakanda had never been colonized

What are you even talking about Breh? The poster I quoted stated that all lightskin Africans were a result of colonization and that is completely false. I don't even know what you're trying arguing. I'm not talking about Biracial's here and this has nothing to explicitly do with Sub-Saharan African's either. The poster I quoted was talking about Africa as a whole. Know what the topic of the discussion is before you try to jump in



And if here's a lightskin Sub-Saharan example of someone who has 100% African DNA

There's african albinos, but them and the people in this pic, while lightskinned, have no other eurocentric facial features unlike that actress.

What is your point? What are you arguing? Nothing you've stated is relevant to the post that this was made in correlation to.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

So she didn't find people putting on fake African accents problematic?

Sounds like she is upset she missed out on the success and is trying to get publicity by juelz-ing. Guess it worked

 

[dontreadthis]

lmao literally every thread here made about this girl featured a bunch of people calling her a mutt, half-breed, even a white supremacist. but when she says she didn't feel black enough y'all still wanna take umbrage .

[levitate]

or cast a person with a darker complexion. You think talented dark skinned actors are rare?

He's trolling. He does it quite well. Very subtle.

 

[Premeditated]

Not true

lol

of course it's true

Khoisan's are the not the only lightskin Black people in Africa

breh....list me the ethnic groups in Africa that are lightskin and non mix besides Khoisans.
remember fulanis, huasas, and Horner are not lightskin(that doesn't mean these groups don't have lightskin people).

your initial post was quoting dude who said most Africans are brown to dark skin. Why is there an outrage in saying that when it's true?

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

the lightskin and half cac brigade is out in full force tryna spin this one

 

[Skooby]

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.
