So this girl Zendaya Coleman is playing Aaliyah in her Biopic....Seriously

[DaChampIsHere]

Word? So lets list them.

You're the one saying that light skinned women always take darkskinned/black women roles. You list them. How you gonna ask me to prove your point? You have Nina Simone. Now name some more. Who else is putting on black face and turning historic/figures mixed?

 

[RAX 010]

they tryna fukk up the lagacy of my Akashic Queen

better than having mixed breeds and biracials at the forefront of the black race.

There won't be a Black race. Your idea gives a clear pathway from Black --------> Mixed-------->White

Halle Berry... your turn?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Whose playing R Kelly?

The Real Question that needed to be asked.....

Since it's a TV movie, they probably gonna have someone like Ray J or some shyt.

 

[Blankthawtz]

i will not watch or support this horrific attempt to honor Aaliyah's memory....a plane wreck waiting to happen....

 

[DaChampIsHere]

Halle Berry... your turn?

What dark skinned historic figure/former celebrity has Halle Berry remade? WHo has she put on black face for?

This isn't just: name a bi-racial actress thread. No. You said they were making/taking roles about dark skinned/black figures. Who are the actresses doing this and what figures are having this done to their image?


Also, Halle Berry is like the complexion of the woman in the OP? I'm pretty sure most people consider her black socially/looks-wise even though she's mixed. Most people don't even know she's mixed.

They might as well make biopics on 702 or Chris Bender or Tony Toni Tone if they goin for mediocre 90s acts

At least they all could sing

Halle Berry... your turn?

its already happening except we're calling them quadroons black as well

 

[Soundwave]

Who?

Who?

Exactly these nikkas act like Aaliyah was some one in a million type talent.

 

[Poitier]

Halle is a biracial who has played Black women, don't strawman.

Boris Kudjoe...... your turn?

its already happening except we're calling them quadroons black as well

Nah not a high frequency. What you suggest would have us looking like Dominicans and Southern Italians.

 

[BlackMajik]

In terms of raw talent prime Lauryn Hill>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Aaliyah

Love Aaliyah but its the truth

Halle is a biracial who has played Black women, don't strawman.

I'm not strawmaning. Halle is Biracial but she looks nothing like the girl in the OP, but they are both bi-racial.. Halle Berry looks like a regular black person in every way.

Are there no black women Halle Berry's skin color orrrrrr?

Are you going on looks? Or racial make up? Because no one in Hollywood or in real life or in common sense goes by genetic make-up, but what you look like. So you might be confused with your train of thought here.

She looks like a regular black person. You'd never guess unless you were told.

We are going by racial makeup hence mw saying "biracials playing Blacks"

Don't strawman and bring up phenotypes.

No one goes by racial makeup? So you are stating the socioeconomic standing of biracials is equivalent to Blacks?

Evan Ross........... your turn?

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I find this insulting on many levels...these cac execs basically saying "fukk you n!ggers and your culture. We're gonna make Aaliyah spanish just like we made Cleopatra and the Egyptians white". I never expected them to take the interpretation of black art seriously, but now, they just trolling us to see how far they can whitewash black culture cause they know they got all the power in their hands.

No you are going by that. No one in real life goes like that and no one in Holly wood does as well.

If Hollywood cast calls for a white woman, Selma Hayek and J. Lo better not bring they ass because even though they are white genetically, they look Hispanic.
