Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I think people are saying Zoe isn't black simply because her parents are from PR/DR..... as if those slave ships didn't making stops there too

She is disgusting for that and the casting directors are fukking foul. They had to give her a prosthetic nose, darken her skin and even fukk around with her hair. It is an insult to Nina Simone. There are so many black women out there that were better candidate and have the same skin tone, nose and hair. Viola Davis comes to mind.

Isn't that partly what Chris Rock was saying during the Oscars?

Regardless of whether she is biracial or not... she was hugely miscast in the role not just looks wise but talent wise as well... especially when you have an acclaimed actress like Viola Davis around who is pretty much the perfect fit for that role.

Nah I'm not dumb enough to think Black = 100 % African with big nose, lips, nappy hair and pitch Black skin

you just exposed yourself and don't even know it

Dude they are basically white washing Nina Simone and the response that you gave sort falls under the "black people can look white too" category. What is wrong with having big noses, dark skin, and "nappy" hair? why is it that we cannot be proud of those features? and why does nina have to be white washed?

Nothing wrong but those are only a subset of Black features and not a measuring stick
