Guess you missed the memo a few pages back...
In the Mickael B. Jordan thread where he's pawg'ing in Italy and the subsequent backlash, I almost posted that old school heart throbs didnt disrespect Black women by being seen in public with cacs..I tried to use Lou Rawls as an example only to discover he married a cac too
Black Panther was released 5 months agoI think BP was supposed to fix all this. Black folks told me if we make Disney 5 billon dollars off BP, our dollars will forever be respected in hollywood
Even in movies directed by and for black people we have this issue, so it's not just Hollywood.
Always a dark skinned black male lead and a biracial female lead.
Sorry Not to Bother You

Dope, all three of the female leads were biracial while the main character was a darkskinned black male.
Two of these movies come out this year. Anyone denying this agenda is just being willfully ignorant.
Exactly,tried to tell these idiots woman are more effected in hollywood at least,because they are effected on two fronts. Dark skin women aren't casted in tv and film as beautiful love interest. Can't think of the last time this was the case,Moesha maybe?I guess you have insecure but she's more on the funny side than beautiful side as far as how she's viewed,shes homie status. Dark skin women are often homie status,and sidekicks to lightskin leads. This ain't a genuine thinkpiece because for one,it doesn't shed light on the colorisim in non hollywood productions. As far as music videos,low budget black films etc,things where black men and women are more in charge but colorism still exist in the final product. Black women don't have the same colorism bias at least not against dark skin men,that alot of black men have against darkskin women as a whole. If I was in charge of casting,I could deprogram the nation in about 5-10 years. All you need to do is finally put the baddest dark skin women on tv next to these biracials and have nikkas finally seeing how many dark skin women is bodying these biracials and lightskins in the looks department
. Make it where it aint all about great acting,just like these biracials get passes for not so great acting. That film was done by Pharelll and he obviously showed his bias,wanted to get his "type" in the movie
. The Alexandra Shipp shyt was uncalled for though,and foul actually. You don't want to have reverse colorism going on in the community either where you are trashing and blaming lightskin people for being casted fairly or unfairly.
That isn't what she said. Not that it matters
First of all it does matter. Secondly, she said “singular fight” like we have no stake in this.
"Colorism doesn't exist" - thecoli.com
I need context for this tweet that everybody just dapped up without seeing any receipts.
The movies being released were casted and produced in the same period of time as Black Panther and not after so no.Seen any changes in Hollywood yet
Yes. But if we need to do a parentage/reverse paperbag test on every female lead moving forward, the Coli likely remain unsatisfied.Do you expect any changes going forward?
She clearly meant that they were the only ones fighting. And it doesn't really matter
With chemistry and personalities and development where the connection seems real and makes sense and not just some plot/casting convenience or way to occupy the two whole named black characters in the cast as they'll never be central to any plot lines.
Preferably younger than the WWII generation
Media sticks 2 black characters together (often one actual character and one glorified extra) that lack the depth needed for even fukk buddy relations.
