Thandie Newton: "All My Career, I’ve Felt Like To Black People, I’m Not A Legitimate Black Person"

[Ol’Otis]

Wasn’t she in Beloved


Beloved

Take it up with your fellow Black Brits.

 

[KillerB88]

I really liked her in Tyler Perry's Good Deeds and Chronicles of Riddikk

Now! Kill the beast while he is wooooounded!

 

[Amor fati]

I remember first seeing her on Gridlock'd

 

[Rakim Allah]

She displays her struggle cheeks proudly in westworld

at the very least, you gotta respect her

Nothing struggle about her Areola/Nipple game.

 

[Ziggiy]

She goes so far as to not show off her Cac father but turns around and MARRIED A CAC MAN

 

[BrownBunny]

The Black genes in that line are strong as hell. Her 75% White kids could pass for half Black.

Thandie isn’t being honest about why she feels different.

She’s mixed and identifies as black because white people reminded her she wasn’t white. She treats blackness like an old coat she was forced to wear everyday and we can see through her shyt.

A woman comfortable with her blackness doesn’t need a co-sign from nobody.

Malcolm would be classed as Black-Brit but the average black man wouldn’t see him as black because he was light.

As contradictory as it sounds, black men form like Power Rangers to protect their image and won’t co-sign a light-skinned man unless he’s from their block or they’re profiting off of him. They’re a funny bunch.

If she's ashamed of her white side why did she marry a white man, ain't no eligible single brother looking to wife you up?!? it's not our fault you have identity issues cause you half white... just accept yourself embrace your blackness and move on... why is this even an issue...

Dudes have mentioned seeing her naked in here but haven’t posted any pics yet

 

[GreatestLaker]

I honestly never heard this side of her. I know she mentioned once it was easier to get roles as a BW in the USA than UK.

Not sure who didn't accept her. US Blacks are pretty about mixed Black people and typically don't separate them. Maybe some bitter chicks or something.

One drop rule doesn't exist in the UK. That's mainly a US thing.

 

[Ya?]

Its always funny how black women are black because of their partner and black men are black because of their blackness. Its almost like you think the idea of blackness revolves around black men

So since y’all shytting on every mixed black person. Halle Berry not black either right? Bob Marley not black either huh? Obama not black? Frederick Douglas not black? Malcolm X not black? J Cole not black? Shall I continue? To me. If someone is mulatto and identifies more with being black. How the fukk imma tell them that they AINT black?. It’s them confused ones that’s dangerous.

Y’all have really got to stop including Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X in these arguments.

First of all Frederick didn’t even know who his father was. He was just told he was white. His mother was a slave so guess what? If he was half white, it was from rape. Frederick was taken from his mother as a child like plenty of other slave children.

Malcolm X’s mother was a product of rape. Her mother was raped by a white man.

They are not in the same category as a biracial or mixed person who is a product of a consensual interracial union.

They should not be included in the conversation.

Also chelsea alot of the most thoro biracials never grew up around they white side.

Bob marley louis farrakhan and harry belafonte didnt.


So context needs to be put in alot of these cases

Kap the only one thoro who grew up around whites. Most who grow up around whites tend to associate more with whites.

Biracial lovers always say the same 5 ones too trying to hold on to them
