Here is the issue with Nina Simon being played buy fucking Zoey Saldana.

An INTEGRAL part of Nina Simone's story and what made her NINA SIMONE was the fact that she was dark-skinned and, to a lesser extent but by her own admission, not very attractive. You can't really tell her story without that. So you can't then go and cast her with this tall, thin, super attractive, light-skinned woman...and then darken her skin. And still not even darken her skin even close to the color the real Nina Simon was.

That's the difference.

If there was something physical that was really integral to the Fraud Hampton story or the man himself, that Daniel Kaluuya wasn't right for, niggas would feel the same way.
Just because zoey is Dominican and Puerto Rican don't make her super attractive. She's OK.
