Harold Perrineau: Stop Saying My Daughter’s Not Black Enough for ‘Jem and the Holograms’

[George's Dilemma]

They wouldn't pick a biracial like her to play a role that specifies a white woman...so don't do that shyt to black female characters.

bytch is wearing blue contacts...guarantee is someone called he black she'd say "welll uhh i'm actually bi-racial, not black, thank you very much".

 

[Cabbage Patch]

Why didn't black women say anything when Amandla Sternberg, a biracial girl, played Rue, a dark-skinned black girl in the Hunger Games series? Exactly.

If her father is black, Perrineau is black enough to play what she wants. fukk outta here.

Amandla looked black. She looked so black, it was the little cac fans - not 2chan trolls - who pitched a bytch about how dare she play Rue.

If you black enough white folks say you too black, then the mixed race argument you trying to start dont fly.Funny shes the only one you name.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

She a special case. In Honey she was the White girl. Then the Latin explosion part II happened and she was allowed to be classified as Latina. Which would have made her white worshipping grandaddy crazy but whatever.

She marries a half black nikka has a kid gets the Sue Storm role and now she's too erhnic to play Sue. She got J. Bealed, latin version.

 

[Yup]

There can't be a black version of black Hollywood, black men are too selfish for that. Fact of the matter, is that role should have gotten to a black woman/girl not a biracial that looks more like a white Hispanic. However, black men in Hollywood only see their struggle in the entertainment industry because although black roles across the board are few they are still properly represented. Black women are replaced by these biracial women (often the offspring of BM & WW) that's why they push this narrative of black women coming in all shades so much. In the entertainment industry black women and men are fighting a separate fight when it comes to representation.

As a father, I can understand him trying to protect his daughter against mean spirited people and can sympathize with him when his daughter gets death threats. As a black man/person, his dismissive response of the fair representation of black women in Hollywood doesn't surprise me in the least. Truth of the matter, many black men don't care about what black women go through in an industry where they are barely represented. They only feel entitled to black women supporting them financially and putting money in their pockets because they can't depend on the AW/WW to do that. At least not when they start out...

 

[Yup]

Obviously folks shouldn't be threatening Aurora and I do get what Harold is trying to say but breh....

Not only is his daughter mixed, she actually doesn't look the part.

I wonder how he would feel if a Luke Cage was played by a mixed person who doesn't even look the part at all.

Black male actors will be right there crying about racism when they will start being replaced by ambiguous/biracial men. Then they'll know what it feels to be treated as invisible.

 

[Uncle Kendrick]

Dilute your bloodline then get mad when your kids blackness is questioned breh

'Jem And The Holograms' Was A Truly Outrageous Flop At The Box Office
'Jem And The Holograms' Was A Truly Outrageous Flop At The Box Office
The flick opened to $1.3 million to become one of the worst debuts of all time for a major studio movie opening in over 2,000 locations.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a truly outrageous weekend at the box office, and not in a good way.


The pack of new releases proved to be all out duds, some worse than others, leaving room for holdovers "The Martian" and "Goosebumps" to stay in the top spots with $15.9 and $15.5 million, respectively according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks Cold War thriller "Bridge of Spies" also held nicely in third place with $11 million.


Vin Diesel's "The Last Witch Hunter" tanked with $10.8 million, killing any hopes of a new franchise. The Lionsgate film opened in fourth place and cost a reported $70 million to produce. This is the latest disappointment for Diesel who can't seem to find consistent success outside of the "Fast & Furious" franchise.


None of the weekend's flops will garner as much attention as "Jem and the Holograms," though, which opened to $1.3 million to become one of the worst debuts of all time for a major studio movie opening in over 2,000 locations. Based on the 1980s animated series, the film opened on 2,413 screens, averaging $545 per screen, to take 15th place.


The wide release numbers are alarming, but it is worth noting that Universal produced the PG-rated "Jem" for only $5 million. Overall, teens did not seem all that interested in a movie based on a show that was popular decades before they were born. Audiences that did turn out were overwhelmingly female (in the 90 percent range).

Part of the reason for the low screen count is the fact that Paramount was experimenting with a shorter home entertainment window. The film will be available digitally 17 days after it leaves theaters as opposed to the usual 90 days. AMC and Cineplex agreed to participate in the model, but others refused to play the movie
