When I read lines like:
"Nobody has a problem when Af-Ams play Africans or Jamaicans"
"It's pure blackness policing"
I don't see much specifics culturally being discussed....
I think one of the proper ways to go at this is with the understanding of the Nina's specific message and how she utilized her looks for that message...Not blanket statements about "culture"....Of course there are some folks that are on some WHY A DOMINICAN-AMERICAN PLAYING AN AFRICAN AMERICAN?!!!"
But most people in this thread are coming with more direct gripes...Like Zoe's make-up looking totally idiotic...Or the fact that the woman she is playing made her looks an important part of her message of black self love....
