Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[Aceofspades404]

I've had Brazilian treatments done, it was so damaged to the point where it would no longer curl. So no, you can't just go back. I think you're just knit picking.

mmmhhhmm I have 4b hair and got it done when I was natural and my hair went back
and the knit picking is important. Blacks aren't monoliths and certain phenotypes are privileged over others.
Zoes' curls which aren't that much different than white woman with curly hair ain't the same as a 4 c hair which is deemed ugly.

I really do feel for light skin people , they really want to belong to a race and not just be stuck in the middle but they will never belong to a pure race of people.

Most will either want to be white or black and if they do just stick to getting with another light skin peron thier children will just breed into a real race of people etc the Asians ,Cacs or Us. Zoe Saldana is a perfect example of this.

I know I have european dna in me but its so small it doesnt even show up in me but some of my family members you can see it I came out dominant and mostly pure they did not. Blacks like me can either purify our lineage or keep breeding with mixed and admixed people.

Light skin is just a skin color so I don't understand where you're going with this.

Her curls aren't much different than white women? Yeah I'm good on this convo.

.

Its a skin color along with certain features that can only be created by the mixing of other races or once they have been created they stick to other light skin people. Theres a reason why people call them exoticals.

You will not find light skin people that are native to Asia , Africa, or Europe they will be a minority and out of the normal if you do see any. While the rest will look stereotypically Asian, Black, or Caucasian

You're right Nina is Blacker than all of these ACTUAL Africans... Nina doesnt even have high cheekbones like most REAL Africans yet is peak Blackness?

Yall are dumb as fukk wallahi

What u are posting has no shyts to do with the conversation I was having with Stacker.

Everybody realizes that the African phenotype is diverse.

But in the west we've been brainwashed against very specific phenotypes particularly those associated with people of sub-Saharan West African descent.

Picking an actress that looks nothing like Nina and has to imitate a dead fish eyed look in blk face with a fake nose to capture Nina's realness is just par for the course of Hollywood preferencing mixed blks with what they deem acceptable features over other actresses they deem as being too black. (With whites and c00ns you can only have one or two stereotypical features of "blackness" at a time. Got dark skin, gotta have straightened hair or stereotypically thin white features. Blks have internalized this ignorance too.) The fact that the full range of our phenotypic diversity isn't well known is a whole nother can of worms that deflects from the current discourse on colorism in Hollywood and in our community.

This troll talking about "divide and Conquer" when its widely known that the mulattos have been the one's used to bring down Black civilizations throughout history....talking about ."you're playing a dangerous game".............Thats code talk for negroes that are into Interracial dating/marriage and so forth or got plans to be a bedwench......so "save some for me"..........

Been in this thread 24/7 desperately trying to prove this wench is Black.....

The only dangerous game going on today, is that we accept anything and everyone into the fold and then wonder why we still bottom of the totem pole. Brazil proves this.........Argentina proves this......Ancient Egypt proves this........Anywhere mixing goes on and half breeds come forth, rather first gen or gens thereafter, first the "cover" up comes then the slow eraser........this is yet a small example of such. There's a thread going on now where they showing how they brainwash the rest of our people through commercial imagery slowly tricking you into making more Zoes.:.......then yall come in here and try to argue against the "Point".........and you follow the likes of nutcases like poitier and elle dumber to lead you into stupidity....better be careful.....

You damn right I will when dark skin women are denied a chance to get a role that is clearly for them especially in this world where they need our support to survive with these colorist beauty standards.

Obviously not.

I kinda fell they should have picked a woman that looks like Nina. My mom said that was wrong, they should not have pick Zoe; and my mom was in the Nina Simone era. Also Nina Simone's family is angry because they were no contacted and parts if the movie is made up.

That fukker Jimmy Iovine is behind this disaster..

See. .. explains everything.

 

[Rarebird77]

DEAD ASS read someone who considered Mariah Carey black say that Zoe Saldana was too light skinned with European features to play Uhura

Its like having a Spanish last name throws people off from what their eyes are seeing

This was actually good casting.

 

[Rarebird77]

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.

He just likes to argue to argue is all.

He's so wrong it's painful but he doesn't really care about black women and probably prefers women who look like Zoe so he's defending this miscasting as a result.

 

[Rarebird77]

Nina wouldn't be ideal in any Black country, either.

You're obtuse. ..

 

[Poitier]

Yup I prefer the 95% of BW who don't look like Nina...you are probably in the 5%.

 

[Rarebird77]

There's people in this thread saying her nose isn't broad like Ninas which is why I brought that up. Zoe herself has thick ringlets of curls, she contours and does straightening treatments to get roles. I don't think she was right for the role, but this was a film produced by her.

Thick ringlet curls? keep going. .

 

[Poitier]

You're obtuse. ..
