Tragic Mulatto Alexandra Shipp decries racism because fan wants a Black recasting of Storm

[Brolic Scholar]

So we're just gonna completely ignore the fact that Storm is dark-skinned?
Just gotta play the victim huh...

I'd expect people to be equally upset if they cast Don Cheadle to play Barack Obama in a biopic.

I’m playing the victim of what exactly?

I’m reading the actual tweets and People were talking about her though, which is cool but of course she’s going to get upset when people say she’s not what they want. It’s human nature. I mean people say they want you pulled from your job Duh you’re going to get upset and defend yourself. They went at it the wrong way.

Honestly this is corny to me. It’s storm. In the 90s cartoon she looked like a tan white woman. In some teen versions of the comics she looks like a light skin or biracial person. In other versions she looks darker and more African. I mean for god sakes no matter what color she is they always draw her with straight euro hair and euro featuresThe character is kind of just all over the place, so for people to say she was supposed to be this or that, nah she was always a rep of what whites think blacks should look like. so with that in mind Disney isn’t doing anything brand new lol. Doesn’t excuse it, just doesn’t seem like a point for outrage to me. You say varying skin tones does not equal biracial, but everyone is also equating the actors background to the characters background. It’s make believe. I get we want a character that represents. It’s just corny how the twitter stuff played out on both sides. Grown people calling out other grown people about a fictional character who’s appearance has always been wishy washy

She’s not too far off from this at all

Storm wasn’t dark in the comics. She was brown. It’s funny that no one complained about the actor that played Bishop being way darker than he was in the comics. And what about his curl? Relaxed standards of accuracy until you don’t like it and then they have to Pantone color match the actors. Goofy to be worried about this as adults.

I agree, this mulatto has no business playing Storm.

The role should go to a talented black actress that other black women can identify with, someone like Meghan Markle.

In her defense looking at her twitter avatar looks nowhere close to racial ambiguity, pretty white's would see her as black....

Even HALLE BERRY don't like this byatch

The New Storm Reached Out To Halle Berry For Advice, It Did Not Go Well

hen Alexandra Shipp, the new Storm, reached out to Halle Berry, the original Storm, for some superhero advice, she reportedly didn’t get a reply. Shipp shares this anecdote with Yahoo Movies, but quickly defends Berry and even shoulders some of the blame for HOW she might have reached out and asked for assistance. Word of advice? Don’t sound like a crazy person

"I reached out to her. You know, Halle’s got her show and her family and stuff. So I understand, she’s got her thing going on. Also, I think that my email might have scared her because it was a lot of word vomit. Like, ‘Oh, my God, I love you, you’re so amazing. What does your hair smell like? What perfume do you wear? If you had a favorite deodorant scent, what would it be?’

Yeah, we can see why Halle Berry might have hit delete on that email




there is only ONE strom...and that's ms. berry...ms. berry!

Bishop is Australian and all dark people must look the same to whites for casting and drawing him like a black man with Sheri curl.

@StickStickly Ororo is half Kenyan have African American she's full black, shyt she was born in Harlem. Shipp isn't that her mutantcy makes her hair that way. I think the fans are being purist.

How about the British girl from Game of Thrones as Storm? She acts circles around Shipp.


Or Chadwick old co-star from 42

Now that's a storm I'd like to see.

So steph curry obama malcom X arent black?

Steph and Malcolm got black parents

 

[tsuki2]

She’s an automatic recast based on her acting alone, If she was actually a good actress this wouldn’t be too much of an issue but the girl rep is ruined by her sorry acting with Drumline 2 and the Aaliyah biopic.

Coming out of a white vagina and claiming black is the biggest divider in the black community

At the end of the day you are mixed. No one calls a half asian half white, white, or asian, they call them mixed. So a half white, half black is mixed and never black, or white. She will have to deal that no matter what, she will be viewed as a mixed person. That is the facts, not delusion, simple facts.

Storm was never a mixed person, she was a black person, not only a black person, but a black person from Africa. Yeah she had blue eyes but there are blue eyed people in Africa.

Who ever was the whiter person or black c00n that made her feel like she represents black people where just feeding her ego. She even runs home to white people after being told she is mixed because she has a loyalty to white. But let her ask white people if she is white and guess what they will say? And she is not have any problem with them saying she isn't white, but let a black person say she isnt black and she curses all black people as racist but white people she doesn't see racist? lol please.

I see some serious for this chick & biracials in here

 

[3rdWorld]

it's just as dumb to assume that everyone hates you, that's a inferior mindset.

Nope..its reality. Jews dont go about life thinking you love them. Thats why they are successful and we are not, always seeking validation approval and acceptance.
