I'm not gonna say that Aaliyah is the most talented. If you took the time to search my post history I've been pretty critical of her vocal performances. But Aaliyah is easily the most iconic singer of the 90s.


Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Babyface, Keith Sweat, Kellz, and everyone in Boyz II Men and TLC would like a word with you about that

Aaliyah was an average bytch in every aspect.....if she didn't die no one would give a fukk about her anymore

what did this bytch do to deserve a biopic besides getting piped by R. Kelly and die in a plane crash

Southern and Eastern Europeans?

I have no problem with biracials identifying Black but at the BOTTOM of the totem. Johnny Depp is part Native American but the Indians was having NONE of that Tonto nonsense. First Zoe Saldana is Nina Simone and now this, Blacks willingly let biracials have first dibs for Black spots :wow:

Lets see how fast Zendaya Coleman uses her Blackness as a means to White Hollywood and a Cac bf
I don't mean to say that they don't exist, just that no matter how many there are, the pool of biracials who can pass for black is much deeper than the other way around. Its all about logistics to these people. Cheaper, faster, easier unfortunately.

When I mean iconic I mean visually. The hair over the eye, the baggy clothes etc. The urban Marilyn Monroe.

Do you want to go person for person? I guarantee you won't make it past 5.
The occurrence of what your asking for in the first place is not that big of a field to pick from on EITHER side breh so don't act like there are tons of examples on your side either or to pick from in general. Black women actresses are already slim in major Hollywood productions. And then you want to segregate by skin color (and let's be reality, there are wayyyyyyyyyyy more BLACK actress than the "bi-racial" ones y'all don't like + most black roles are centered around darker skinned women anyway).

Your only other example is Nina Simone in one movie. You say I won't make it past five, but you won't even make it past 3 occurrences of it happening without having to go to multiple actresses.

Do you know how much work Rashida Jones gets around Hollywood playing white girls roles? bytch is pretty much booked to the max. Holly wood just hasn't found another one to give roles to yet.
