What are you talking about nobody knew who Lupita was before 12 Years a Slave.
Matter fact that was her first movie.

Very interesting convo. I'm not sure about the argument that men can not understand fetishizing of women since they are not women. That does not make sense
I agree with the suspicion black women have about black men "protecting" lupita when they see the comfort among us blackmen
-when bashing black women,
-when seeking non-black women exclusively due to some stereotype we apply to all black women
-when black male entertainers settle with white/non-black/light women when they've reach success, but dealing with black women during their struggles
-when rappers choose to have non-lupita-isc models
1)With all that said, does those qualities I mentioned above represent the average black man?
2)Are these ladies really going to ignore how media conditioning impacts viewers differently depending on race, gender, religion, and sexuality? thus it hints at which race, gender, religion and sexuality have most control of it due to how each are depicted
3)The second lady shares her experience by saying her beauty was embraced/reinforced more by non-blacks, but then why isn't that reflected in the media if that's the norm? How could you use your sole personal experience as an argument against a shared experience like the promotion of natural white features
4)The first two ladies are going to focus on blackmen contributions to the tarnishing of the black women's image, while conveniently ignoring the contribution of those who own/run the media, fashion houses, beauty industry, and modeling agencies

The average white person knew about lupita before the oscars? Or do you mean that the Entertainment industry, that is run by white folks, acknoledge her talents with the award. Thus now average white folks know about her, just like average black, indian, asian folks
Marc Lamont Hill my nikka, but he knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote that article. He is basically an academic troll. He knew his wording would get black women riled up.
First of all, who gives a fukk what white people think. Second of all, don't think ol'girl doesn't know what is going on. Even before awards season begins, she was getting buzz for this role, she has a team behind her, (an agent, an agency, a publicist, a manager etc) and she has basically spent a decade in the film business. She might be a "newcomer" but she is extremely smart enough that she knows how hollywood works. She knew she has to get her face out there, on magazines, tv, blogs etc. Them hollywood nikkas don't have time to see all these movies, they basically chose who is popular to give the award to. These magazines have to create a story around a person. She obviously has a dynamic personality and she is attractive and stylish as well. If she was a passive person, who just sat back, she would be a forgotten story.
That ugly ass Somali nikka was nominated for shyt too, but you didn't see him on every magazine cover, because he probably didn't have a publicity team behind him.
I could see her going the Jodie Foster route, and producing, directing a whole bunch of movies.

I knew about Lupita 2 years before 12 years a slave came out. She played in that Kenyan television series called "Shuga" that I use to watch.

Why did they even choose that Christelyn chick for this? I turned it off when she started defending white people.

It's sickening that she is somehow being used to break the black community apart.
How the hell did we get here?
If Whites, and honestly, it's not even "whites", it's fukking Hollywood....if they really support her like that, than they can put their money where their mouths are and that means giving her the full-fledged "sexy" treatment that they give white actresses. Anything else, and they are just feigning interest (which is what I think is going on).

Yeah, I really don't see why anyone would think that she adds anything to the discussion. She is strictly for white men.
