Name 2 Nina songs. Go.
I swear it's nothing but bitter bitches who are up in arms over this, and at it's core, it's probably for trivial reasons. Don't let ForHarriet shape your opinions, black man.
2 Nina songs. Name 2.Who is Harriet and how would she shape our opinions?
Some of us have a greater respect for the icons of our culture male or female and hate to see them exploited by Hollywood so some no name director or writer or wack actress making an attempt at an Oscar. There has been similar debate over Richard Pyror biopic and who should play that role to properly depict him.
If you gonna do shit do it right and with respect for the person in the role your playing.
2 songs. We 4 pages deep and niggas can't quote a song from this artist that they so deeply care about her legacy.some of us really love and appreciate NINA for what she means to US i wouldnt want some new black type to play BOB MArley or Hughie either, thats my take and the fact they disrespected NINA's family (her daughter)especially from the get go! i worked with Bessie Udin who used to run NINA's foundation, these crackas all shitted on our heroine and her family , im sorry, yall can go but i wont and none of mine will pay for this crap i dont even wanna see it for free! SAME WAY I DONT SUPPORT ANYTHING JANIE HENDRIX DOES!! THE WAY SHE TREATS LEON IS BLASPHEMY AND SHE ISNT BLOOD RELATED TO JIMI !!
NINA is a personal heroine of mine as a child grwoing up with her music and what she stood for and thE battles she fought for respect! im sorry i just cant! isnt some fictional character she's playing! 2cents.
Man ,its fucking insulting. Putting a actor in black face on ANY level is unacceptable. The hollywood origins are flatout racist! And it undermines current qualified actors who should get the opportunity to play the part. Its further insulting and dismissive to dark skinned black women who already have a hard time getting jobs in the industry. Now you essentially tell them they arent even good enough to play women who actually look like them. And it wasnt like this was done to accommodate a A list actress who will carry box office.. It was done for a C level actor with marginal acting talents and has NEVER shown she has the chop to carry a film as a lead.Why do we get so worked up over movies? Why? It's not real, and 75% of the folk getting worked up can't name TWO Nina songs off top. Real talk.
Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood.Name 2 Nina songs. Go.
Fuck you and that cac in your avatar you clown. Some of us love who we are and opt to call out bullshit when we see it.Some of y'all are just sad miserable people with this "outrage".
Thank you. And don't forget 'Feeling Good" which is was a hit on both Watch The Throne and Jennifer Hudson Weight Watchers commercialsMan ,its fucking insulting.

It's such an easy point to understand. Imagine Malcolm X starring Wentworth Miller and the only time period it covered was when he was Detroit Red.Man ,its fucking insulting.

Nina Simone music is constantly licensed, sampled, performed and 're-released. Don't know why you're acting like being able to recognize her music is some certification of authenticity.Thank you. And don't forget 'Feeling Good" which is was a hit on both Watch The Throne and Jennifer Hudson Weight Watchers commercials
Exactly.Hell maybe I should have said Sammy Sosa. Wentworth Miller at least calls himself Black.
It is. I respect you as an og on the board but we will have to agree to disagree.Nina Simone music is constantly licensed, sampled, performed and 're-released. Don't know why you're acting like being able to recognize her music is some certification of authenticity.

We 4 pages deep and niggas can't quote a song from this artist that they so deeply care about her legacy.

Agreed.Im laughin at the pics & idea of this whole thing da same way i did when i saw da "gods of egypt" trailer. Not a single fuck given....by da makers of this farce or me
Thankfully the EXCELLENT "What Happened, Miss Simone" dropped last yr. Im good on visual media pertaining to Queen Simone....until someone makes a serious attempt to make a film on Simone.
I got the same type of jolt about Saldana's blackface in da pic that i did when i saw da clip of charlton heston's blackface in john oliver's whitewashing segment posted in here the other day.![]()
I was thinking yesterday, why do people even care about this movie, when this doc is out already. It's great and it covers her whole life and performances.Im laughin at the pics & idea of this whole thing da same way i did when i saw da "gods of egypt" trailer. Not a single fuck given....by da makers of this farce or me

Yeah I was mad at her casting. I got even madder at the poster. The trailer just took me way past that fuck this movie.Trailer is trash...![]()
No one should be surprised at the coon fuckery that this ridiculous Nina Simone movie depiction represents.
The movie is produced by former BET head Bob (Big Pimping) Johnson

The most obvious no-brainer, reality based choice to play Nina Simone is proudly Black, conscious singer India Arie

This is like chris Rock playing frank Sinatra
India Arie, Fantasia (what?), and Lauryn Hill are all singers, NOT actors.
Not condoning this fuckery, but just because someone has the same skin tone as someone doesn't make them fit to play them in a movie.
It really ain't that serious. Yall crying about this sound like bitches. This bitch is Black. Dominican or not.
