Will Smith’s Casting as Venus and Serena Williams’ Father Sparks Colorism Backlash

[IP360]

Black ppl mad about black ppl from Europe getting movie roles

Black ppl mad about a black man playing a darker black man.


Will Smith acting >>>>>> whoever else they was going to get








Aint like they getting a white man. Will Smith is a black man

Actually I haven't heard any uproar about the bolded. We don't care where. Hell Sam Jack was the main one who was in an uproar about that. A lot black folks felt that shyt was stupid on his end

C'mon man. I mean I know they casted him b/c he'll deliver on the acting side...but c'mon man.

Samuel L Jackson wasn't available? Or anyone similar lookin to Richard Williams?

F

Sooooo....
Why did Zoe Saldana get killed? Was it the brown makeup?

1. Because of her "acting skills
2. The fake nose they had
3. They picked a light skinned black latina to play the role of a dark skin woman whose entire thing was talking about how her life was more difficult because she was a dark skin black woman who wasn't "traditionally" beautiful
4. The story itself was full of a bunch of fabricated shit

With that said...folks lunched out in the 90's when Denzel got cast as Malcom X because they said his skin tone wasn't right...and then we got Malcom X. I say that to say wait til the actual movie comes out before shitting on the casting choice.

Bad casting. I like actors to look like the people they portray. Word to All Eyez on Me

To be real, having Will in it is huge.

Terrible choice.

The clear pick here is Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen

 

[GOAT]

Denzel also played Rubin Carter. One of his best roles.
