De Beers name Lupita Nyong'o as global ambassador

[Jermio]

Rumors are she's a major diva and it's the reason why she keeps dropping out of projects after production started.

I’m so befuddled by this…..this is like that scene in Lethal Weapon 2:

 

[duckbutta]

But she doesn't have much of a career and what she does have depends on being hired by Black directors so if she goes off the reservation and Black people find out then it'll be quiet for her.

Also she doesn't have Zendaya or Zoe Saldana's skin tone so she needs the community to support her because cacs don't want to put her in their productions.

Well now she got that DeBeers blood diamond money so she good. And I don't even know why black people rock with Lupita like that cause she quick to tell you she is mexican faster than she will tell you she is Kenyan.

This is quite frankly shameful.

POWER of propaganda.

It works.

I've been posting about the power of advertizing a lot recently. People see how paid Facebook and Youtube placements are straight up shaping elections and people's perceptions of reality, but they don't realize that corporations have ALWAYS done the same thing. Many of the views they hold and the positions that shape society are directly related to corporate propaganda, whether it's diamonds, smoking, car use and type, beef and sugar consumption, etc.

It's absolutely pathetic. Anyone who spends legitimate money on a diamond ring is either brainwashed or bowing down to peer pressure. Just a stupid waste of money that can be used in so many better ways.

A Diamond is Forever – Genius Marketing That Tricked The Whole World - Kickstart Side Hustle

De Beers for decades have controlled over 90% of the supply and demand of diamonds. Diamond’s high prices? Engagement rings? That’s all them.

I talked about it before but there was a chemist that wrote about De Beers 100 years ago and that diamonds are essentially worthless as they were only good for use in cutting tools and that steel and aluminum should have the actual value that diamonds are inflated to because nobody builds with diamonds.

true... she's just not blatantly surpressing the commoners with couo d'etats, she is couching her plundering in "liberal" buzz words and language.

 

[Lurkio]

let’s see how this plays out…that mob on Twitter would get anyone else outta here for this

 

[StretfordRed]

Hmmmm. It just doesn’t quite make sense.

I know DeBeers have changed and are not on the Kimberly list, but just feels a bit of a deliberate choice of ambassador…..

I'm just reminiscing like Pete Rock on all the times dudes were called "c00ns" here for not finding this bald bıtch attractive

Y'all gon learn about looking before you leap one of these days, run tell dat!

This doesn't change any of the dumb color struck buffoonery that came with her introduction.

Wtf are you even talking about? Her taking a sus job didn't automatically make here unattractive.

We still have the first mega thread about her on this forum. You can read through the first pages and still witness the c00nery and buffoonery. NONE of it has been validated.

When Halle Berry married a racist it didn't make her look any less attractive physically. But she might have become less appealing to some Black men. You waited all those years to call her an ugly bald bytch? Nobody saying she no longer looks good. You struggling for validation with some nut ass logic
