Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[Citi Trends]

so her mother is a black woman

I dont really have a problem with zoe claiming black or considering her black.

I just want to know what the basis for being black is

blackface on a "black" woman?

If this was the 1940's and you had to move to the back of the bus if a white person wanted your seat........

Why would I lie? If you've seen my pics you'd know I'm a high yellow.

And for the other people she can claim Latina and still see herself as black

so our whole racial identity is based off what white people think in the 1940s?
That's a very wide pool there

Where is the lie? Last time I checked Latina wasn't a race

I literally run away from people that use words like ethnic. It’s preposterous! To me there is no such thing as people of color cause in reality people aren’t white. Paper is white. People are pink, it’s a bit ridiculous when I have to explain to a human being, that is an adult like I am, that looks intelligent but for some reason I have to question his intelligence and explain to him as if he was a two year old, my composition in order for him to say, “Oh I guess I can chill with you, I can work with you.” I will not underestimate a human being and I will not allow another human being to underestimate me. I feel like as a race, that’s a minute problem against the problems we face just as women versus men, in a world that’s more geared and designed to cater towards the male species.

Nah I'm not dumb enough to think Black = 100 % African with big nose, lips, nappy hair and pitch Black skin

Your ethnicity comes into play because no Blackman should be defending a whiteman wearing Blackface, I dont care if its in the form of comedy...U shouldnt be caping for that like u have. You been defending Ironman wearing Blackface for 4 hours. LOL


But if u are white then it makes sense as to why u would be defending him because most white people feel entitled to defend other whites who insult other ethnicities in a sideways manner like comedy.

Where??? Where am I defending it!? Point me to the exact post where I said anything defending it. All I said was that the black face you're comparing it to was different, they are not the same thing, regardless if you want to believe it or not.

Blackface back in the day was meant to be offensive and make fun of blacks and how white folk felt we were stupid, ignorant, ugly, and worth nothing more than crap on a sidewalk. That shyt was done to entertain other racist whites. It was an act of belittling us.

Tropic Thunder's aim was not to emulate those same acts but to give everyone a laugh because of how stupid the actors acted and the whole scenario of the movie, stop playing naive to the two when you clearly know the difference.

Her mom has African ancestry....not hard to figure out

You damn right...Thats how u have to look at it. All this "I'm mixed with blah blah blah" if this was the 1940's you'd have to move your mixed ass to the back of the bus....You seen that movie American Me?? Those Mexicans got the back of the bus treatment as well.

the guys at double toasted fukked this chick up


after guardians of the galaxy they said she'd rather be green than black

you are absolutely dumb enough to sit here and list racist stereotypes that absolutely no one has used
