Zoe Saldana Getting Clowned For Trying To Play Nina Simone

[flo]

Nope.

Kerry Washington shouldn't play her either though she is a better actress than Zoe.

Not everyone is obsessed with the fact that Zoe is a latina, she is a black woman.

Just not the right one for this role.

When did I say Kerry should have played Nina?

Fake outrage.

Two things are at play here, black female insecurity and the AA superiority complex.

"Bu-bu-but she's not the same skin color as who her character's based on" neither was Denzel.
"Bu-bu-but black face" Nobody says shyt when AA actors darken up to play Africans.

How? Everyone is outraged. Were you not disturbed at the Gods and Kings movie that white washed everyone? Is that black people insecurity?

this thread

Also I thought this movie came out direct to dvd/streaming last year... because yall are late as thee fukk with the outrage

And also what's being failed to be mentioned is the fact that Zoe was behind the film that's why it struggled to find distribution and financing. It's been in pre production hell since 2012.

A black woman playing another black woman is not the same as white people playing characters of completely different race

Maybe I was slightly trolling with the insecurity part but it's obvious that a major part of this shyt is rooted in the fact she's Dominican, black folks(women) been hating on her from day dot because of it. It's prejudice rather than insecurity but prejudice always has elements of insecurity in it.

You would think she is Rashida Jones or Zendaya

 

[NvrCMyNut]

You would think she is Rashida Jones or Zendaya

You ain't heard Zendaya, Amandla Stenberg, Halle Berry, Beyonce etc are blackness personified

Mariah Carey a black queen but Zoe isn't.

DEAD ASS read someone who considered Mariah Carey black say that Zoe Saldana was too light skinned with European features to play Uhura

Its like having a Spanish last name throws people off from what their eyes are seeing
