May not be a black thing the issue is that black Americans are grossly underrepresented in Hollywood and Hollywood productions found it cheaper to hire non black Americans teach them American accents than it is to hire black AmericansNon American whites get American roles all the time. Its a non issue, really.
Edit. Not really a non issue since there's probably a reason so many non Americans get Americans roles but it's not a black thing
why do people always bring up its not just a black thing?Non American whites get American roles all the time. Its a non issue, really.

If she look like Tubman and can act what's the problem?
The bold is truth dot com
Especially after how they fucked over Captain Marvel by making her a blonde haired white woman when the real CM was a sista.
That's a legitimate complaint though.
There weren't any black american actresses who could've played that role?

so why are you talking some other shit?
i said dont change the character as well...so whats your problem?
my issue is dont take from an establshed actress just to make her trans to represent the trans community.
that makes no sense and is ass backwards. especially when its plenty of other people to choose from if they dont want to create one from scratch.
now whats your issue?
I have to or else we’ll get a derailed conversation like in the Janelle Monáe thread.
True and all but an American actor could have done the same or a better job.... Snowfall still top 5 showBuddy that plays Franklin on Snowfall can act his ass off
right so......i guess we on some wait an see shit now?But that’s not the topic here y’all brought up Storm when we ain’t heard anything from Disney about a trans Storm. The main point is representation and Halle stepped from the role for that reason. Wasn’t terrorism
I get it and in this situation if their are legit black trans who can play Halle role why not get them to do it. Why is that offensive
Of course I took it to heart. I love hip hop.lol but y’all the ones that derailed it literally took Monáe comments to heart
ok cool.I get it and in this situation if their are legit black trans who can play Halle role why not get them to do it. Why is that offensive
How?This snowfall shit is a TERRIBLE example
