This just reflects society. Get over it nikka if you think African American women should be A girls then make your own movie.

So you're okay with the equation of dark skin with poverty, out of shape builds, etc.? :rudy:

Its one thing for a racist/colorist casting call for a white movie. But for a black movie too?

And what white women were in Compton in the 1980s? :comeon:
