Colorism is SO deep that rather than hire a dark actress to play Nina Simone they hired a lighter skinned actress and put her in dark makeup

There are plenty talented dark actresses that could have and SHOULD have portrayed Nina Simone. This is not okay.

White folks making a movie about Nina Simone: Eh, we’ll hire a ‘traditionally beautiful’ Latina & just put her in a nappy wig + blackface.

That Nina Simone trailer was horrible!!! Couldn’t they have picked someone else??? So many beautiful dark skinned sisters out there. ???

I think Viola Davis would’ve been an incredible Nina Simone.
Both physically and character-wise.
Strong, deep, introspective…
