You can tell she just wanted to say something insulting about black people because her whole argument was horribly misinformed.

First off, the rumored Green Lantern role that the TMZ camera man was referring to was for the actual, Hispanic Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz:

Second, it's certainly not up to minority actors whether they get roles in these films or not. They go through a selection process and get chosen so what, exactly, is being "stolen"? Not to mention that when diversity is introduced in the background of super heroes it's usually a decision made by the writers themselves, so, again, how are minorities "stealing" anything?

And, really, how is having the gender/race of a character different from that in the source material tantamount to "stealing" the character? When Helen Mirren played Prospera in The Tempest was she stealing from Shakespeare?

:snoop:

What did I tell yall earlier :mjlol:

She just posted an apology on her Facebook explaining what she was trying to say.

just like the girl on Fashion Police

http://www.eonline.com/news/630769/...p-stealing-all-the-white-people-s-superheroes


"What I really meant was that…I think there are many cultures in Hollywood that are not white and that can come up with their own mythology," she said in a video posted on Facebook. "It doesn't matter what culture you come from. I'm just saying that instead of trying to turn a girl character into a guy or instead of trying to turn a white character into a black character or a Latin character, I think that people should stop being lazy and people should actually make an effort in Hollywood to develop their own mythology."

How is Mexican close enough? And the average "light skin" is closer to 50% black, rather than 20%.

About 10% African Americans fall at about the quadroon range of things genetically speaking though.

Maybe her dumbass should learn how to not attack her roommates and drive without being drunk or breaking the law.

the thing is coli dudes are gonna say in context she is right with what she is talking about in the apology but he thing is in cases like this even if she said minorities on a whole I cringe when non black people say things like that about what Black folks should do. it kind of goes back to that adage we have about only ourselves should be critiquing what our race should do.







plus the ferguson comments you guys showed makes it harder to give her the benefit of the doubt

You have to understand that for some Carribean Latinos (ex. Cubans and Dominicans) they wasn't even allowed to claim they black ancestry. Even the Big Papi types was forced to call themselves Indio. So they passed that on to their children and so on and so forth.

That was true in the Dominican republic not in Cuba or Puerto Rico. The thing is in Pr/DR "whitening" is encouraged greatly. They even have a saying in Spanish "Mejorar la Raza".

Her Ferguson comments are laughable because she's been arrested 5 times and has the nerve to call other people "animals". :mjlol:
