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

[Prynce]

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

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

@Turk btw, that broad in the video you just posted is NOT lightskin.

I hope that's not the barometer you're using lightskin as

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

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

There's no such thing as a light skinned and half cac Brigade

 

[Turk]

lol

of course it's true


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).

Fulani's Hausas, and etc all come in a variety of shades and colors. Darkskin, lightskin, and et. They're not all one thing. The fact that you would attempt to homogeneous them all shows your complete ignorance.

And how are you going to try and tell me about Fulani's when I actually have Fulani people in my family

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?

You're being completely disingenuous right now. How are you going to try and debate me when you don't even know what the topic of the discussion actually is?

This is the exact post I replied to:

you nikkas keep talking about light skinned africans. that's a results of colonization by cacs. Wakanda was never colonized.

He made no mention of anything that you're talking about

So you mean to tell me that Coogler was gonna pick her over Letitia Wright?

That doesn’t sound believable at ALL, cuz LW is a better actress, more accomplished, and actually looks Black.

Imagine a bytch with the last name STEINBERG being portrayed as an African princess.

An African princess with the last name Wright is just as strange as one named Steinberg.

Judging by the cast, I doubt she was offered the role.

 

[Beck.er.]

couldn't she just wear makeup to be darker?

Apply makeup to her face and all exposed body parts every single day she's filming ?
(with the hopes it looks better than Zoe Saldana spray painted to play Nina Simone)

Or just hire a black actress that more closely matches the role?
She wouldn't match as the sister and the light/mixed appearing main love interest is a lame cliche.

It's not like it's particularly difficult to find darker complected black actresses (over)qualified for the job.

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



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



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

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

Is this the thread where we pretend most west Africans look like Christopher Williams and Halle Berry

Women of The Coli.. Where them pictures at Vol 2

Be-careful simps...I mean brehs

Dude even said he got his green eyes and lightskin from his half Italian mother.

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;

nope.
light skinned actors in full body makeup is the way to go.
throw a few whites and asians in full body makeup for background actors.
then have jerry seinfeld do a voice over for the entire movie.

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

 

[Originalman]

Lightskin africans are all from colonization?

The hell some of yall on

Ignorance
