Zoe Saldana’s ‘Nina’ Gets First Poster, More Online Backlash

[ericb4prez]

She did say people of color don't exist now she saying she a black woman

India Arie should be Nina Simone

can she act tho?

she can sing and play the piano.. though

now can Zoe doe that?

it's not a musical tribute though.. it's a movie.....

which means the studio also wants it to do well....

it's a movie on nina simone bruh.....the fact that they're actually taking a movie like nina serious enough to bring in someone like zoe is proof positive they want this to do well.....

i like india arie, but if her acting skill are dumpster juice it's a waste of a project....might as wel go direct to video

What movie has Zoe showed acting chops in though? im not aware

what movie has india arie?

Somebody like Kimberly Elise, Viola Davis, Jennifer Hudson, etc would have been a better fit for the role.

Saldana is attractive, but nothing special as an actress and her denying her Blackness is also not a good look for her to be playing a role such as this.

Exactly, Viola Davis, Lupita N'yongo and Jenifer Hudson would be good fits for this. I don't see any resemblance with light bright Zoe

Yall need to burn those capes..she may be a "proud" afro latina but she's very pro-white as far as her filmography and personal life

^^^This.

No nigga u was wrong. Just admit it. N hold the L.

Also, Living in this society and working for or buying products from whts is being Pro White because, we are ultimately benefiting a white person.

The same whites with power that fund and defend police brutality, etc.

Example: major corporations/companies that we work or buy from, donated to Zimmerman's defense team...

and i still don't get how "looking like" someone is the only reason you should be cast as them.....

Yaaaaaaawn....

"Why they do this, Why they do that"

Niggas need to shut the fuck up, and stop complaining.

Its time we start our own shit. That we actually control. That's exactly by blks and for blks... and niggas need to actually support shit that are for them, and by them...

Niggas always complaining, And never not doing.

I definitely agree, but in regards to the role, I thought of N'Bushe Wright.

Another good choice

How are we suppose to do that when everytime there's a successful black business made they sell it to a white corporation?

I made a thread a few days ago asking if it was smart or selling out to sell a successful black business to a white corporation and nearly 70% of the IC thought it was a smart move.

lol because it is... take Jay-Z. .. which was better keeping rockawear until it folded... or selling it then having the time and money to start other businesses..

any person not matter the color will sell if the money right if not you dumb... do you think if dr.dre and Oprah teamed up to buy Tommy Hilfiger dude would sell it?

Let me big up Eunice waymon though for her efforts in the civil rights movement, greatly appreciated...

And this mindset is why blacks as a whole will never get ahead.

lol jews sell companies to who ever will buy all the time...

companies get bought... it's apart of business... hold on to something "failing" because I want this company to "stay black" is a bigger down fall...

also being honest... unless you talking mom and pop corner stores... how is selling something like "fubu" directly effecting the black community? I'm sure they had plenty of non-blacks working for them...

 

[D0wn]

and i still don't get how "looking like" someone is the only reason you should be cast as them.....

C.s. Denzel was darker and didn't look like Malcolm, yet he killed the role tho.

But lets play devil's advocate.

Zoe has on a prosthetic nose, and a tan... They going this far for Zoe, while they could of gotten an actress who didn't need all of that to play Nina.

Also add the fact that, Hollywood phased out actual Blk women, in favor of racially ambiguous "blk" women. And this is another example of that.

Yet this is why blk ppl need to have and support our own shit...

She has a cac husband , Nina had cac don Ross...fuck it let her play her, she can relate

Tidal doubled in profits, how is that a "failing" company. Beats by Dre was a successful company (ik he didnt fully own it, just an ex), etc.

How it effects the community? Lets take Tyler Perry's Filming studio for ex. He's in a position to create a real "black hollywood" right now. Giving opportunities to the many black film directors,writers, actors etc, which would create new stars and businesses. I'm sure there's a corporation out there right now who would offer him a nice amount for it, but he can make triple that in a few years if he played it right. This shit is chess not checkers, you cant play the game the same as mfs who are already winning.

Same for Jay, he can have a monopoly in the music game if played right, but niggas are just looking for that quick check and not willing to play this shit out for the future.
