I would also mention that an amazing documentary on Netflix came out last year which may have contributed in the spike.

“The fact that we’re talking about her, that Nina Simone is trending? We [f–king] won,” Saldana stated. “For so many years, nobody knew who the [f–k] she was”

You expect her to shit in the same toilet every day like some kind of fucking peasant? Queen Bey needs many thrones.

Plus she’s implying she’s the only black actress who could have done the movie as “well” as she did.

So this is just a theory, but MAYBE the reason Nina Simone is trending isn't that people have just discovered her, but that people are talking about what travesty that movie is?

“For so many years, nobody knew who the [f–k] she was”

“There’s no such thing as people of color”.

… and wearing hobo clothes.

Literally no one thinks zoe doesn’t look black enough. Thats an argument she created in her own head so she can be proved right. If you don’t understand the problem with Zoe being cast as Nina you need to read brief wikis on both the history of Ninas life and the history of America.

She should legit take a vow of silence for at least six months. She should have learned her lesson after Nina Simone’s estate came for her hard on Twitter. Everything she says about this subject makes her look worse.

She would clearly be so much better served by letting this go. I have the feeling that her PR people probably know this, but she feels a righteous anger even though she is so, so wrong, has bee wrong, and is fully committed to staying wrong.

She doesn’t seem to realize that the complaints weren’t that the nose and paint made her look ugly because those features are ugly, the nose and paint looked ugly because they were poorly done, obviously fake and made her look like a melting ball of wax.

“She is essential to our American history. As a woman first, and only then as everything else.”

Colorism is an international issue, so if you don't get it, that's a personal problem, not an American one.

1) Sure Zoe, if you identify as Black of course you’re Black. Moving on.

I thought there were no people of color, Zoe Saldana??????

this woman is so dumb! I don’t remember anybody being mad she had a prosthetic nose because it was ugly? people were mad because the fake nose and the darker shade of makeup was proof she was not right for the role.... she is trying to change goal post into a defense of balck beauty now? GTFOH...

Zoe Saldana is the fucking worst. Just STOP, girl. You clearly don’t get it.

No.
