I see you still haven’t invested in a library card. How unfortunate.

She’s Trinidadian-Panamanian.

You definitely should. It actually holds up really well, too.

That’s literally one of my top 5 favorite romcoms.

She’s Black folks famous. SNL and this movie will make her more mainstream. I’m not necessarily mad at that, but it is what it is.

He’s still very attractive lol. And I’m not all that mad. If Danny Trejo can get his life together and make a career out of it, I won’t begrudge Mr. Meeks the same chance.

Yes, it is very easy for you to say that as a white person. Cultural appreciation and exhange are possible, though. But this is not an example of those.

Y I K E S!!!!!!!

This is one of those times where interacting with different Native communities would’ve been beneficial. It kinda sounds like she just read the wikipedia pages and went about her business. Nah.

It’s on Hulu and Amazon Prime. It might even be on Netflix, but I haven’t checked. I also want to note that I was actually watching this movie for the 2nd time when it was announced that Scalia died. I thought that was hilariously apropos.

This is my thing. I don’t buy shit she’s selling. I don’t pay attention to her. She, thus, does not have any impact on my life. It’s really not that difficult to ignore her.

I will say this: it’s almost hilariously ironic that Angelina is wearing less makeup than Zoe to portray a multiracial woman. The outrage was there but social media was in its infancy and the its power was yet to be fully realized. Had social media been more accessible, the reactions would’ve been similar, maybe…

Yeah, you don’t get it. Your argument is pretty much part of the effects of colorism, but that requires you understand the nuances of it and how it interacts with racism in general. It’s not simple and you thinking that it is is hilariously sad and white of you. Get it together.

Being light skinned doesn’t actually mean she’s not Black enough, which is what you’re missing. Race does not equal skin color. Similarly, one having light skin privilege does not mean they aren’t Black enough. Nina Simone’s looks SPECIFICALLY are important. If this was not a biopic about, say, Lena Horne, who was…

I mean, apparently not. They wouldn’t had to have darkened her skin and made her wear prosthetics if that was the case. If she was as “transcendent” as they claimed, her performance should’ve spoken for itself, right? Guess not.

We can do both.

Except, that’s not the point. Zoe is an Afro-Latino from a country that has done a number on it’s (majority) Black population in regards to anti-black racism. The Blanqueamiento is very real and countries like the Dominican Republic have typified it. She’s Black.

Yes.

I disagree. Viola would’ve been perfect because this movie, while definitely concerned with making money, is presenting itself as a “prestige” film, i.e. one that would get critical acclaim and award nominations. You don’t actually need to make that much money (see this year’s Room, Trumbo, The Big Short, Spotlight,…

It didn’t for Gods of Egypt.
