Security around "Straight Outta Compton" seen as "double standard"

[Kyle Barker]

Ever since i saw that casting call discrimating against dark skinned black women I already knew I wasnt going to go see it.

Well they have thots of all skin tones in the movie, so you can go ahead and see it. I don't know who was responsible for that original casting call list that popped up, but it shouldn't deter you from seeing the movie now.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I'm Gonna see it again

You can do what you want but its just funny how people think to me at times. If this casting call was only dark skin girls would you boycott? That's always the problem to me people have flimsy reasons they do stuff and it just looks sad but end of the day do what you do. I just disagree that's all

 

[Neil Tyson]

I don't see the big deal about the casting call. Did you want dark skinned girls portrayed as thots instead? Just imagine that in this movie universe, dark skinned girls went to universities rather than becoming video sluts.

If the casting call was just dark skin women and discriminated against light skin black women I still wouldn't see it.

So you're saying I should just forget about the casting call??

Out of all the reasons to not watch the movie, that's easily the most petty. Especially since having dark skinned black women in the movie would lead to complaints of black women being objectified.

I guess these guys were lacking in melanin.

I'm not here to argue you or derail the thread I was just telling the poster above me(wild cherry blossom) why I wasn't going to go see the movie.

 

[Hyperion]

I'm going to see it tomorrow the fukk I care about a casting call for?

shyt, I'm seeing it tonight... Opening Night.

 

[Black]

"There are no dark skin sluts in this movie I can not watch this!"

 

[mrken12]

I don't know much about their music but you're right I still wouldn't go because of that as well.

And you don't even know them anyway. So you weren't going to see it under any circumstances.

 

[Lana del Rey]

• And you don't even know them anyway. So you weren't going to see it under any circumstances.

I know white people who don't even know them that are going to see the movie. They are just going because it's "popular" at the moment.

Thats whats weird about these chicks and honestly why I can't take them seriously. Why weren't we invited? You do know this is about hoes and thots right? So we want to be invited still "white supremacy" got y'all or some dumb shyt. That's why nobody can take chicks on this shyt seriously. That's like if they had a casting call for thugs and homos and they said they only want lightskin dudes you think I'm going to be upset about me not getting a chance to be portrayed negatively? That's why I never get this or the video chick thing these chicks on. Love yourselves ladies because if you don't why should anyone else

nikka you haven't realized these chicks on here just want to be angry?

Basically

If the casting call was just dark skin women and discriminated against light skin black women I still wouldn't see it.

Ok but I just think you looking for a way to be offended but fukk it you say you would be consistent though. Don't know why this is where you put the land in the sand at though. People goto bat for some strange things I tell ya

And?

Who said anything about white people in this discussion?

Nothing. You was saying that I wasn't going to go see the movie because I didnt "know" the group And I was telling you that you didn't have to know the group to see the movie because I know people who were seeing it and dont know crap about nwa
