I don’t think Zendaya is the better actress than Keke. I do think Zendaya will get more roles than Keke due to colorism in Hollywood.
But I also don’t think Zendaya is a talentless hack either because I’ve seen growth in her as an actress.

I do think Keke is criminally underrated as an actress b/c that’s what Hollywood does to black female (and male) actors if they not biracial or c00ning heavy. I also think Keke’s bout with drugs didn’t help shyt, but I like the rebranding she is doing with her image.
Regardless, this is just the way Hollyweird is. No surprise here.

It's wild how one dumb tweet with a few thousand RTs become the social topic of the week when the Coli or a blog picks it up. Who fukking cares. Not to mention how disrespectful it is to simply disrespect a woman and say the only reason she has achieved what she's achieved is because she's light skinned. It's always protect/defend/support black women until they find a black woman they want to shyt on this week. Jealousy.

Ding ding we have a winner!!!

oh please, you can’t play the colorism card in 2022 :camby:


zendaya and tessa thompson are the only two light skin women working in all of hollywood right now. damn near every black female role goes to a dark skin or immigrant woman these days. thats the look directors want

Of course Zendaya gets paid more , she's been in more high profile movies than Keke.
Yup and that's also about your agent and the roles you take/pass on. Keke's credits are objectively bad and you can't convince me it's because she's darker. There are darker women than Keke who have gotten better roles over the last 5 years too. Including Lupita Nyong'o. And Michaela Coel.
:mjlol:

It's wild how much disinformation and resentment is driven by these blogs, who highlight the absolute worse drivel on twitter to give a bigger platform for people to argue about. It's brain poison. I'm not some Zendaya fan BTW. She's great in Euphoria, and outside of that the only thing I've seen her in is Dune. She's a good actress. For the life of me I can't even understand why someone would even compare these two actresses but then again, this is what jealous people do. And it's often what r&b/pop fans do. Sit around arguing over who would have been bigger if only they got a better shot, or if Beyonce didn't steal their songwriter, or if this beat went to her instead etc. That catty bullshyt is all over social media.
