The family went on and on about how they did not want her to take the role but she did it anyway and tried to play victim when she was called out. Nevermind the fact that she did not embody the likeness of Nina and didn't have the acting range to fulfill the role. The entitlement she had back then about playing the role was crazy.

They just lightened denzel's hair. Chadwick had literally nothing done.
Neither did Sidney Poiter who also played Thurgood in a movie.

Honestly speaking I never even saw the Thurgood Marshall movie - but I can tell you it was scenes in the Malcolm movie where they made Denzel look lighter

Only difference is different stops on the boat.

THAT'S IT

And if you think Dominicans don't face racism then you obviously never been in America

And there was "Dominicans" in America as early as ever.

well damn ..... I didn’t know all that
but I would definitely say the majority of negative energy should go towards whom owned her rights & sold it to the movie/production company

2% approval rating on rotten tomatoes gotta be the lowest i've ever seen for a movie that wasn't about cgi penguins or some dumb shyt

within the first sentence it's "i should have used the leverage i had ten years ago"

the movie was released in 2016

Wasn't never really about color for me. Was about the caliber of actress you got playing an iconic person like Nina and Zoe (as fine as she is) isn't it

Research breh research

never heard anything about Thurgood

and as I said in my 1st comment what difference did it make on Zoe phenotype when Nina herself married a white guy

I don't understand what her husband's race has to with it.

 

[Pimp]

i don't see the problem. People are weird now

 

[Animal House]

Nothing wrong with her playin the role it was the fukkin make up

well that was the original point ... BW were upset & stated that Zoe wasn’t black enough to play her
in my point is .... what difference does it make if she and ironically both of them married white dudes
