why does hollywood cast BIRACIAL people as BLACK people?

[Ya?]

people really trying to be blind to the facts

They are not blind. They know, because the same guys refuting this, will innocuously admit it in other threads.

Like I said the few mixed men that they have appeared in DS men spaces who have been hated on for no reason has shown me that if DS men become treated like DS women have been forever in media they wouldn’t be saying half the ish they are saying.

I am willing to bet in 10 to 15 years many sport leagues where black men dominate now will be runner by biracial/multiracial men.

All the young black girls (under 40) in the movies are biracial. But black men haven't said anything yet.

Laura and zendaya= Spiderman
Yara shahidi Blackish/Grownish

amandla stenberg= Hungergames

Alexandra shipp, Xmen, and aaliyah movie.

Tessa Thompson (shes in everything)

Zazie beets Deadpool/Atlanta

Kiersey clemmons dope and etc.

Yara shahidi's character is meant to be I think 1/4 white in the show.

Rainbow, tge mom character is and acts as a biracial.in the show.

Just wanted to say all.the hair colour stuff about white TV families is super dumb.

You all know damn well that even in real white families there is a variety of hair and eye colours, even skin tones.

Are you guys trolling or just willfully obtuse about race????

 

[Wiles]

Maybe becuz biracial folk’s always been classified as black here in America

Op forgot

Anyone saying that mixed people aren't overrepresented in the media is blind

You do know that AAs phenotypes are varied right.

The irony that you post Cosby Show and not realize that Phylicia Rashad's sister is Debbie Allen

Another bitter dark skin thread the men are starting to sound like the women.

 

[Wiles]

exactly... ain't a city in america where mixed kids ain't calling themselves black... and every black person in that community agrees and tells them no different..

But yet you got dark brothers who want to monopolize being black as of its going to make the community whole if u exclude lightskins or bi racial.

But if they wifing a bad joint that bytch is all the sudden black...

You sound like a fukking women. I see plenty of dark brothers on film. I guess mixed or light skin blacks can't get roles. U want them to fill a dark skin black quota now? Y'all have become women. We need to create our own instead of begging white folk

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Cuz if you are half black, youre still black. Duh

Tell that to south Americans and they'll slap you and tell you they're white

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

OP is 1000% right. All yall complaining can't see the forest beyond the trees

 

[MikeyC]

yep bad for little black girls who need to see themselves in movies and on tv.

No one "needs" to see "themselves" in movies.

Think of the 10 most popular black shows/movies in America within the past 20 or 30 years and peep who they cast in the main female roles and children roles

Don’t y’all dare name black panther neither

Bernie Mac show
Moonlight
Everybody hates chris
Insecure
Scandal
Girls trip
Fresh prince
Friday
Moesha
Precious

They cast black people

Can’t be pro black if you fukk white women. Can be pro black if you fukk half white women.
That woman is not black
That woman is not white
That person is mixed with both but you’ll only respect the black half
And that black half will be enough for her to be ok to date
But the white half isn’t enough to say you’re a c00n



Masterful Coli logic

 

[RadaMillz]

On blackish, only Dre and the twin girl dianna are fully black
