Can you show proof? Because i can get proof of her fighting for latino rights. Just sayin
She’s said many times in Spanish language interviews that she is black. She played black roles (Drumline) and even admitted that she has Haitian roots in a L’Oreal commercial.

Seems you’re the one who cares since you love to point out how every single Afro Latino doesn’t think they’re black.

You say many times so it shouldnt be hard to find. You mightve gotten me confused but I dont really care about her or her views. I have a Dominican homie who says hes not black. Im just sayin where did she say it. If she said it then my suspicion about her statement was wrong

I see Avatar 3 has already been greenlit but if 2 sucks, the wolves can have her.



I disagree. Just like the first Matrix, Avatar was a very spiritual movie veiled as an action flick.
The matrix actually a good movie tho

Avatar was just nice cgi

I only care because it seems black people were always being deceived by types. Why Do you want them to be on our team so bad?

They are not Black people and they have their own culture. They shouldn’t be claiming anything that has to do with us and we should basically ignore them or see them as hostile.


The simple fact that she did Nina Simone dirty like that says everything.
