EXACTLY. This push to place their wish fulfillment on characters that were not created to represent these roles is like a bunch of fanfiction writers holding a creator’s vision at ransom.

No thanks. I’ll say it again, as an ACTUAL black women who knows ACTUAL BLACK WOMEN who feel the same way, not a bunch of bleeding heart liberal white women writers with their own agendas, there’s not enough positive promotion and representation of black women, specifically, dark skin black women in healthy…

Yes, everyone and everything hates women. Could it just be that certain types of women are just as insufferable as certain types of men?

Ha! Just desserts...

Seems vaguely racist.

Guess a racially ambiguous ratchet is more palatable to the masses than an actual black woman.

Butch, queer, and non-feminine. This is not the kind of promotion black women, specifically dark skin black women, need right now.

I’m just saying you seem to be finding any and every excuse to dismiss and downplay the cultural and traditional aesthetics relevant to the fictional society depicted in this film. Because when Vulcans have Pon Farr I don’t hear or see any of this bullshit. Goodbye bigot.

Can we stop asking for films with this actress and that actress together simply because you see two black women interacting with each other? Thanks.

Well who knew snow was so complicated? The Jibari lands look awesome.

 The argument of this article is still dumb.

Fish can be used for oil/fat and herbal remedies, not just for eating. Get yo life.

Cultural appropriation is a neutral term that doesn’t automatically have a negative connotation. Purpose of use is equally important. No one’s ruffled by the use of “Wahalli” at the beginning of the film and no one doubles over at how Bollywood stereotypes Americans in their films. It’s all about intent and Black…

The sad thing is I can see teens and the gays eating this stupid shit up.

Martin Freeman’s character being shoehorned in is basically every token black character I’ve ever experienced. I thought the parallel was evident.

Because TEENS LIKE TRENDS. This is just another fad of being “different”. Come college, they’ll drop it like a One Direction obsession.

There are far more flattering photos of the ladies up on Chrissie’s web magazine Divine Dark Skin. Also, why isn’t this posted up on Jezebel yet? They put out all those other bland and basic red carpets...

Black people really think our dysfunctions are okay because slavery and racism. Yes that shit sucked and inflicts to this day but y’all need to learn how to be a respectful individual to other people. The attitude, the combative tone, and the disrespect...there’s a time and place for all of that but not in front of…

VERY dumb. She’s a black women who is being shown no respect by other black women. As a black women myself, I see this shit all the time.

Is it my imagination or is she too not black? Sometimes black women show no respect for black women in authority and that does need to change. I don’t know why we act like black people are above reproach.
