Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[Stacker Pentecost]

Zoe has Eurocentric features? Thin lips and straighter nose? Are you even looking at the damn picture you posted? Zoe herself has a broad fukkin nose.

Even the quote you had of Iman was misquoted, it was the editor of an Essence who was a black woman that said Iman wasn't black enough and was only regarded as beautiful because she looked like a white woman dipped in chocolate. Which is the same shyt you're doing to Zoe, who btw came up with this damn movie herself. There was no one else who could be cast, she went and did it on her own. It's a movie produced by her.

Tf are you talking about?????? How did I misquote Iman? I literally only posted that Iman has been called a white woman dipped in chocolate, which is exactly what happened? I know it was a Black woman who called her that, I never stated otherwise? The point was that despite her brown skin and being Somali, she has features on the smaller end of the spectrum, which moves her into a Eurocentric standard of beauty. And it's the exact same thing with Zoe, despite her being a brown-skinned Black woman she DOES have smaller features than Nina that make her more comfortable within the white gaze. If Zoe has such a broad nose like you're claiming then why did the producers feel the need to put a prosthetic nose on her for her to play Nina???? Zoe has lighter skin, thinner lips and a thinner nose than Nina which is why the producers THEMSELVES darkened her skin and put prosthetics on her and why she keeps holding her mouth in that funky way. Y'all are the ones whose eyes are clearly deceiving you, if Zoe was such a perfect cast then why did they physically alter her appearance? For kicks? For shyts and giggles? Just to annoy people?

Y'all are really talking NONSENSE right now, completely delusional.

EDIT: And Zoe could have produced the project and still cast an actual darker-skinned, broader nosed actress to play Nina. It would have been the more respectful thing to do rather than paint herself darker and wear a prosthetic nose.

Like seriously whatever your own personal issues are were projected all over this response to my post. Actually READ my post and try again. Zoe does fit into a Eurocentric standard of beauty and Nina did not, period. That's not me saying Zoe looks like a white woman dipped in chocolate (because what???? Admitting that Zoe fits into a Eurocentric standard of beauty does not mean I'm downing her??? I'm just pointing out the obvious). Nina's life's work revolved around her not fitting into that mold and that's why people are offended. You have some issues. Some people do have features that place them firmly on a Eurocentric spectrum of beauty, there are entire academic studies around this, you must not even be FAMILIAR with Nina Simone to be spouting this trash. Get out your fukking feelings about whatever happened to you as a child or whatever this shyt is.

Look at all these Eurocentric indigenous Africans

Nina doesn't fit in any standard of beauty. Zoe could blend in plenty of places in every region of Africa.

Zoe is light skinned compared to Nina Simone, Zoe has a thin nose or thinner nose? I think you're the blind one. You seem mad at the fact that she doesn't fit whatever narrow view of a black woman is, because you keep going back to this "fitting Eurocentric ideals" nonsense, when Zoe herself has a damn wide ass nose. I ain't in my feelings, definitely not. Nothing happened to me as a child, but since you're randomly throwing that at me, perhaps something happened to you as a child?

This point has flew over these fools heads all through this thread........

@Poitier and @Elle Driver are trolls......They've been the main one's in this thread drooling at the mouth desperately trying to prove Zoe to black people. Look at them dap each other up along with the other troll @flo.......These fools have to be mixed to be going this hard in this thread.......Zoe is a MIXED Breed that's why the Cacs that got her to play this had to "play" with her features....she's not "Black" she's a mixed breed with a mixture of euro features....its elementary.

This nikka calling me a troll?

If ZOE is so "Black" why wouldn't the features she have be more than enough to pull this casting off correctly. She has too many eurocentric features in her bloodline, thats why...........simple as that....she's a mixed breed no matter how many times she wants to say she is "Black"....can't claim "Black" and your genetics say other wise.....she has at best 50% of cac dna in her bloodline and it shows out in her features.

This is a half breed, just because her small amount of melanin reminds you of your auntie, don't mean she is like your auntie....Zoes lips,eyes and face structure is european in dominance.....other than the small amount of melanin......you c00ns really salivating in 2016 to continue to try and put mixed breeds as black people with these adlibbed labels and nationality branding....you really trying too hard and they continue to shyt on us....how you going hard to put Zoe in the bLack category and she has already wiped her gene pool by birthing forth a more whiter offspring and she told yall c00ns she not really black............Don't listen to homosexual trolls like @Poitier....he is an agent and troll on the coli sent to do the very bullshyt he doing in this thread and others.........I figured this lame would still be in this thread and I see 15 or more pages later, he and his side wench @Elle Driver in here trying to brainwash people with that bullshyt....I'm a get you c00ns banned out my thread. Stop selling that propaganda........this here is a half breed....you can cry all day and night arguing otherwise.........

 

[Medicate]

@Brooklynzson Aye breh...can you get these trolls @Poitier @Elle Driver and @flo out my fckin thread with their propaganda.....Fools still in this thread trying to shame folks for their opinions......My point stays as is and ain't nobody here or anywhere going to say otherwise to me....Zoe is a fckin mixed breed with a lot of cac features and they had to "toy" with the features to "FIX" her to "look" like an actual "Black Woman" which makes her MIXED....and thats all it is too it.....these fools not going to come in here with their personal agendas and shyt on my thread after the point has already been made......get they ass out my thread....I done already told @Poitier he going to see me at some point and we going discuss his problem in my face.........

fukk this funky bytch! I will NOT be seeing this c00n dress up in black face and "represent" one of the most iconic bedwenches in black history.

Can you imagine this heifer singing Missisipi Got Damn!

@Medicate, please don't waste too much time engaging @Poitier the dude is a self hating transsexual that hates Africans. Dude is a clown of the highest order and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yea but breh....these trolls have taken this shyt to another level and really see this is what Chancellor Williams discussed in "Destruction Of Black Civilization"....and it continues to play out today. Zoe has never been "Black"...but since her small amount of melanin gives off the appearance like one of these c00ns aunties....then we get all sympathetic to them and want to include them as one of us....then they shyt on us, just like the Halle Berrys....firm example....of a fckin "Trojan Horse".....half breeds come out the womb with a little melanin and we ignore the actual GENE running through them that makes out them as a whole....shyt is hard for these young folks to understand....That's why the dominicans are over there doing that to Haitians.....shyt ain't rockin science.....its in their blood............Look at her parents. How the fck is these c00ns in 2016 now want to make this "Black" as if their DNA has a dominance of african in it.....they are purely MIXED....... other than the tint....fck kinda logic is these nikkas using....

You having a temper tantrum cause I had she don't have a thin nose? She don't, let's keep it all the way funky. Her hair is naturally curly and her nose is very wide, of course her skin is lighter in comparison to a dark skin Nina Simone and what she's done is shameful with regard to the black face. But you're going down a slippery slope when you say her features are clearly mixed because there are women who look like that in Africa with no mixture (unless we're talking ancient mixture). To call me of all people a c00n is ridiculous. Pipe down my nikka.
