You obviously didn't read what I was responding to. Homie brought up the one drop rule as justification. I told him the same institution that created that rule also created the 3/5 human law. How you came up with your statement is beyond me.

THis here in bold ^^^^
If that girl came out saying she wasn't black some of yall would be mad about that 
That is because in the USA you have historically classed all people with even a hint of Negro genes as being black. Hence light skin dark skin they were all classified as Niggas.
Now my family are directly from Africa but I live in the UK and no if I saw non famous Obama walking down the street I wouldn't immediately think of him as black. I would think he is mixed race and that is exactly what he is.
Race is a social construct and depending on where you were brought it can infer different things. For example in Brazil that had pretty much the opposite view of the one drop rule. There you were not seen as black if you had any Caucasian blood.
So it really depends on where you are coming from. In the UK we have tons of interracial relationships and we generally consider them Mixed race as to claim them as black is to disregard a whole side and heritage that they have.
Niggas mad as hell tryna claim this hoe.

Not so much no one wants to be black as much as it is what black is has been diluted. Theres no shame in acknowledging that some people have mixed heritages.
Got damn BGOL it's not that serious

Your statement is mutual
Zendaya is mixed or mullato.
Her mom is white and her dad is black.
So the bottom line is that she's Black
How does that work.
Black people always trying to claim these half breeds. The girl is as much white as she is black. Fuck the one-drop rule
BTW, the casting seems fine.
Mean while, gotta half breed in his avatar.

Last week Lifetime stirred a bit of criticism for their decision to cast recording artist and Disney Channel star, Zendaya, as lead in the forthcoming Aaliyah biopic. And although our audience had several suggestions of actresses who may be a better fit for the role portraying the late singer, one name that wasn't included was Teyana Taylor's.
Over the weekend a few clips surfaced on Dancer-Choreographer, TyronBee's Instagram showing the 23-year-old Harlem native, in what appears to be her auditioninh for the coveted role.
According to TyronBee, the clips are allegedly from Taylor’s “audition”;

) And is it really a "leak" when this is not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time something has "leaked" about you in a shameless attempt to help kickstart your nonexistent "career"?
WTF is Teyana famous for besides being a cum dump to guys with more talent who then toss you cameo scraps? Virtually everyone she has EVER worked with has hit it (except Tyler Perry. Maybe.

They might have considered giving Nitty Scott a call.
Fuck it! Why NOT go ahead and have Kim play Aaliyah? Not that much less ridiculous than these other random hoes jumping on the publicity bandwagon. The "outrage" would only last 15 minutes because "we" have been conditioned not to take any principled stands for any longer than 15 minutes. Cybersign an online petition, vigorously retweet for a day or two and that's about it.
Since when does the actor have to look like the person they are playing...?
Not always necessary but most of the time especially if the person is still alive highly recognizable or recently deceased it always helps with casting realism and believability if the actor can resemble the appearance of the person they are portraying.
The list is long as far as examples. The recent TLC movie comes to mind and even Denzel doing Malcolm and on and on. True fans or followers of the subject are usually pretty sensitive in these areas especially family members.
Diana Ross in Lady Sings The Blues comes to mind on the other end of the spectrum as far as actors looking and sounding radically different than the person they are portraying. As much as I love that film and Ms Ross's work on the film she was nowhere near sounding or looking anywhere close to the real Lady Day. Hardcore fans were livid at the time about her being cast for that role.
These matters often get real touchy and sensitive all because of casting. It boils down to a respect issue many times clashing with artistic license and expression.
Its called AUTHENTICITY. This is a biopic, not a Marvel comics movie. They are doing a movie on an actual person, so it does matter that the actor have a basic resemblance to the person they are portraying or it is not going to be convincing. Nobody wants to look at a movie where they are constantly trying to force themselves to associate the actor with the person they are playing because the actor doesn't remind them at all of the actual person.
Aaliyah had a long face; this chick looks like a happy face emoji.
They had to have better options auditioning.
Wait...you're not using Denzel as an example of someone who looks like the person they were playing are you...?
Not sure what marvel has to do with anything
So you didn't like Malcolm X, What's Love Got to Do With It, or The Temptations miniseries? Cuz Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett and the guys who played the Temps didn't look like the people they were playing...

Tupac, Biggie, Aaliyah is one of those people you got to get a actor that looks like them. Puffy, Jam Master J, queen latifah....not so much
If Nicki or Beyonce or Rihanna had a biopic, you will need to get someone that looks like her.
By in large Hollywood does not care about Authenticity when it comes to biopics. Mexicans were pissed because they had a Puerto Rican playing Selena and they had a full blooded Euro play to play Mariane Pearl in the biopic 'A Mighty Heart'. There are many other examples.

Exactly. So all the "authenticity" and "have to look like her" talk is
