[lamontbdc]

yea i don't see what the issue is here

 

[AP21]

father time may have not been quite as kind to Tina, but she wasnt ugly in her earlier years sir

hell...she look like serena

 

[Copper]

Tina has 3 of the 4 basic “outwardly negroidal" features...that's why y'all don't like her.

 

[AP21]

derp

 

[Mr.LV]

Did they really spray her darker? LOL, SMH, and LOL again.

she was blue in Avatar

And Green in Guardians of the Galaxy

Getting sprayed black is not outlandish to her.

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

Saldana is a meh actress combined with the fact that she kinda acts like Stacy Dash and Ravon Symone's slightly smarter yet still dumb sibling.

This makes Black folks not want her to play a role which depicts her as a woman a strong Black woman's who was not shy about addressing the struggle of Blacks during her heyday.

Kinda like getting Kevin Hart to portray Michael Jordan in a movie that ain't his lane nor would it work.

[the dukester]

She's just showing her range as an actress.

This bitch went from blue-face (Avatar) to black-face (Nina Simone).

I'm still going to go see it regardless, because I try to support all Black works.

She would not have been my first choice for the role is all though.

 

[Thereal_ba]

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.

And we don't know who auditioned for the role, so...

 

[MD_PROPER]

Danai Gurira would have been a better choice for this role. She can act and has features similar to Nina Simone
