I think that if she needs to work it out a lot of black people need to work it out. Looking at those two a lot of black girls would have said the same and it had a lot to do with their behavior and not their looks. Basically they aligned themselves with the other non black girls and kinda ostracized her. I think the…

Totally get that and glad your family member has someone who is at least trying to sympathize. The other layer is that often you have biracial people who try so hard to identify with their white counterparts that it is hard to take them seriously. So for those two in particular it was like... do you consider…

This comment so much. I love it.

I kinda agree with you but Jubiliee's issues were from insecurity. I have been that black girl where you are surrounded by white girls and the other ethnic girls seem to blend in better both facially and socially. If they could not understand that it speaks to their ignorance. It is like watching Zoe not understand…

Halle Berry, Angela Bassett, Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union nor Oprha couldn play Nina and they are considered black.

You get that the issues not whether Zoe is black right?

Black people rarely reject anyone who claims blackness. You are reaching.

The reality is that Nina's daughter wouldn't have been able based on looks to play her mother. That has gotta irk her that she had to recognize that but Zoe didn't.

It's not bad but I don't. People here are asking should she be persecuted for taking the part. Yes! Saldana has cast her self as a woman in control of her choices. I refused to lay this at the feet of ignorant white filmmakers who see the black experience as a monolith. Zoe should know better but she is being defiant…

Oh my God. This is the same argument that people have had already. As a black person it rubbed me the wrong way too but dammit he is one man. I also think that if Ang Lee actually said something about the lack of Asian representation or Salma Hayek or if Sofia Vergara stopped trying to ingratiate herself with the…

Uhmm no. I blame the mom.

I think you are letting the parent off way too easy. I rarely put my kids on my facebook page. I would for sure no line by line what they were saying or what the context of the bit was before signing a contract.

I really want this to happen. Kickstarter anyone?

I actually liked how she handled it. Go Hillary!! I also loved your response. I am a young black woman and also a supporter of Hillary.

I loved MHP and the Chris Hayes show. Steve Kornacki was always too dry for me. Both Melissa and Chris are awesome at presenting their show like a professor would. I bought so many books and googled so many of their guests for more information. They will be missed.

She also wrote something to her Dem friends where she asked where they stand. I think with the Dems you have two qualified candidates. With the repubs you only have Kasich and she is right to point that out. I would never vote for him but Kasich is competent.

Word.

I pretty much agree with you. It just seems that we minorities need to get together and decide what we want and I am not being facetious. In my opinion more non-black minorities need to join NAACP and make their voices heard. Black people often feel alone, right or wrong, in the fight for equality. It is only in…

Amen. The only thing people really have a right to complain about regarding Chris Rock is that really awful Asian joke. He deserves to be slapped for that.

Thank you. It was also true.
