Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[Rarebird77]

Viola Davis should been the only choice, the emotional battle she showed in this scene kills Zoe's whole career. This is ridiculous...

Agreed!!!!!

100%

Loved her since she was in my favorite movie "Out of Sight"

We're saying she isn't black because he has repeatedly disavowed her blackness. Stop being a naive c00n to defend your fellow c00nette.


fukk this Dominic00n bytch and anyone that defends her.

nikka fukk You.....

Let Jennifer Hudson do the role

of all the people mentioned she makes the most sense...doesnt necessarily look like her at all, but i wouldnt be mad at that casting choice.

 

[Rarebird77]

Favoring one type of Blackness isn't White washing which would be having Jennifer Lawrence as Nina. Nina isn't the standard for Blackness.



You don't even know what light skin is




And yall don't care 99% of the time Hollywood miscast.

You're jumping the shark!!

This is about Nina's life. I'm not at all saying Nina is some sort of standard of blackness.

I don't think Zoe is light skinned, but she's definitely lighter skinned and has finer features than Nina Simone.

Zoe has a tale to tell as well. She's black too, just not right for the role of dark skinned Nina Simone and her issues with colorism and racism.

Chick from walking dead would of been great for this.

I would love Viola to play her just because of her acting chops.

No one's saying the actress has to be a twin, but respect for Nina's biography and work would have been nice.

And as a fellow bedwench, she is perfect for the role.

If you're basing things solely off the fact that she was married to a white man then yes. . .

But let's be honest. David Oyewolo is a c00n.

Robert Johnson's daughter is a bed wench.

So most involved in this project seem to be enamored with white people.

No wonder they chose a lighter skinned person to portray a dark skinned one.

Seems to be their preference.

now Jennifer Hudson i think is a decent choice and could do well in the roll

but Viola Davis would knock that out of the park no question.

I know she had to suck somebody off to get this role.

I know she had to suck somebody off to get this role.

Which other actresses of note were up for the role? She was probably the most famous black actress who was up for it, but I'm sure she sucked a cac off just because though

 

[3rdWorld]

That fukker Jimmy Iovine is behind this disaster..

 

[@OffHalsted]

One of his grandads was white, how was he not?

Malcolm got white grandchildren?

 

[Stuntone]

Good, fukk all of these C00NS and Bedwenches that only want to be down with Black Americans when it's convenient. It's cool to embrace your heritage but muthafukkas claim they half-dominican or half native-america as if they're somehow better than Black Americans. Ya'll know what i'm talking about.


Either you in or you're out. Black people are in trouble, we don't have time for muthaphukkas that want to dabble in for the benefits and cool, but claim other shyt and disappear when times get hard.


Fukk all of em!!!

This has nothing to do with my post.

Some were saying only an AA woman should play Nina hence me bringing up MLK being played by a Nigerian.

Naw homie you co-signed what reeka pride said about questioning if another poster was also outraged about will smith playing the nigerian doctor implying it was the same situation and you know it's not by what I've mentioned and others
