So, how long before America turns on Lupita Nyong'o?

as long as she keeps her mouth shut she'll be ok

adwoa aboah

sounds like a Ghanian name

But Lupita been slicing the cacs of America since she stepped on the scene
she just does it so poetically that they have to accept it
she reps black people hard in just about every speech & interview

thats what makes her so great

I don't know about turning on her, but I wish they'd stop overrating her looks. Some whites try too hard to prove they aren't racist.

I feel like that's why (white) people are gassing her up so hard. It's kinda like the whole "I have a black friend" thing

I think there have been alotta good posts in here on all sides.

It's funny tho when you think about it because she's like that perfect combo of a Black woman for white America/Hollywood to love in order to not seem racist and/or to validate the thought that we're moving forward:

- very dark skin
- practically straight from Africa
- thin & attractive
- Ivy League education
- comes from money & a good family with political background
- good fashion sense

She's got all the tools for the hype/agenda machine. I wish her well & hope she's not blindsided if/when it happens. Have a convo with Janet Jackson or something.

thats a good summation, she's basically an african hipster, she even lives in brooklyn

like drake there's no turning on her. drake is a guy from the suburbs of toronto, who was previously an actor. started from the bottom now he's here generating millions of dollars so he's not going anywhere...

there's already rihanna. no turning on her despite her being a media whore..

even nicki minaj (being from trinidad) and recent fuq up ain't no turning on her.

so it's gonna be a while before they come down on lupita...
