but does she NEED to be though?
Black actors are the least employed, why does everything to be divided again

Unless you're gonna say "oh well, we're all of African descent, and we should be able to play any black/African role". It's not a question of her ability to do it, that's not being called into question. But as far as her background goes, is she the best fit for this kind of historic role? IMO, no she's not, especially given her comments in regards to African Americans.

And frankly, I agree with Samuel Jackson.

The best fit for the role is the person who did best in the audition.

Y'all who say it's dumb to criticize this, or who say no one has a right to complain, I need y'all to be consistent. Let's keep that same energy across the board, because I distinctly remember the Africans (South Africans?) who were NOT happy at all about Beyoncé just being rumored to play Sara Baartman. So if we're being unreasonable for calling out Cynthia, y'all need to have the same discontent for those who brought the same criticisms.

Then take that up with them S African bitches on Lipstick Alley. We said we're happy for Cynthia and that's just kinda that.

No, ain't no that's that on nothing. "Take it up with them". You're basically providing them cover, basically saying they weren't wrong or unreasonable in their criticisms. Nice way to dodge the issue.

No, i'm telling there's no issue to dodge. She's playing Harriet because she did the best in audition process. Don't like it? That's fine. Don't watch it when it comes out

If there's no issue to dodge, then why are you taking issue with me having issue with her casting? Furthermore, how do you even know she was the best one in the audition process? Were you affiliated with the audition process for this?

The only thing I don't like is her accent it's not very good. But as long as the person playing a black role is black I don't have many complaints.

[yummy]

This looks very...low budget 

[Vonc2002]

Fuck that. Divide roles by region too.

[ssw4919]

Whew!  This looks iconic.

[Vonc2002]

Guys this is stupid. Idgaf what kinda black someone is when portraying a role.  Black is fckn black.  Are we gonna require actors to be from the same city and state of the person they're portraying next?
