If you have read the thread , many people have very more elegantly than I stated all thats wrong with this shoe polish rendition of Nina Simone

Ok I get it know you know not of what you type what a mess

No one is taking away Zoes black card ( which she herself uses when convenient ).All people are saying is that she does not look like the source material ( a real life person ) and that in this instance Nina looks are critical to her art . story and live experiences.

Chile You are doing the Lords work here tonite , Cus I swear I just canr

A Klingon ? Aliens ??? Why why do people do this UUuuuugh!

Ok now you are being ridiculous I thought that you were interested in an adult conversation . Basically people who actually KNOW something about Nina Simones lived experiences and colorism overall for BW in the entertainment biz were trying to explain to you why the casting is so problematic, But all you want to do is…

Any feminist who is not intersectional is not baddass

You dont need to look exactly like the person you’re playing if you capture their essence and their mannerisms - like Philip Seymour Hoffman did as Truman Capote.

Except thats not her only interview She also did one in Ebony mag where she basically implied that black actresses are lazy i.e they need to get off their ass plus we have a Black President ???? plus racism doesnt exist race doesnt either. there are many Zoe gems out there.

David is only concerned about the representation of black men.He had some pretty tone deaf things to say in the Movie Red Tails

Bloop!

She is biracial 50% Korean 50% black 100% asshole

Funny ...They are not too scared to take their money or setup business in their communities

LOL

From day 1 this prosecutor acted more like the cops defense rather than an advocate for the murdered child , getting experts to say the killing was justified and leaking same to the press *( theses are the actions of the defense not the DA)

Thank you for this we have to stop believing this about women. I worked in Technical sales and for a Fortune 500 company and I can tell you looking back throughout my career most of the back stabbing and undermining and office gossip/taking tales to the Boss on women have been done by MEN

You know what I loved about Lena Horne ? She had no problem telling folks “listen dont get it twisted regardless of what I look like, white people see me as black and have treated me with all the indignities and disrespect that comes with that” BUT she also acknowledged “Yes Im talented and work hard but I know that…

Its fascinating to me how white people can derail just about any topic and make it about them and thier fee fees

I remember that caught it on TV was a good few min in the movie and thought that it was about activists in Dominican Republic ( I kid you not ) before I realised it was about King and yes they are good actors but Cmon man
