Rant Session: Nigroes with ITGS

Okay....I normally don't involve myself with pop culture issues, but this one has been working my nerves for quite a while.  It's gotten to the point where I feel that I can no longer keep my mouth shut about this issue.  Now...what is it that has gotten me all hot and bothered?  It's the 'controversy' over having Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone in a soon-to-be-released biopic.  Nigroes have been complaining about her being grossly miscast to play her in the film, and want to say some very disparaging things about Zoe. 

The bottom line...?  Nigroes talk too fucking much!

That's right, I said it!  And yes...I MEANT to spell it that way.  Niggas + Negroes = Nigroes.  Motherfuckas think that just because they have internet access and an opinion, think that their opinion is fact and law.

IT'S NOT!!!!  FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD!!!!

I like Zoe as an actress.  I've seen a number of her films before she became a star.  I think that she is talented, and deserves her props.  I may not always agree with her politics (she IS a celebrity after all, and might back a cause that I don't), but I respect her as an artist.  The majority of these fake-ass Nigroes aren't even as political as they be frontin' to be.  Y'all AIN'T conscious!  You just have ITGS; Internet Tough Guy/Girl Syndrome.  You talk shit because you're hiding behind a computer, and can't nobody step to you physically.  You dumb Nigroes probably don't even support any REAL Black films; just that wack-ass Tyler Perry-ass bullshit.

So what if she darkened her skin to play the role?!  Forest Whitaker did the SAME THING to play Idi Amin in "Last King of Scotland".  Did you dumb Nigroes say anything about that?  There have been PLENTY of times where you had an actor/tress play a real life person that they didn't look like.  Denzel is a WONDERFUL actor, but he DID NOT look like brother minister Malcolm.  Morgan Freedman played the brother minister in "Death of a Prophet"; AGAIN, he didn't look like the man.  I believe that even James Earl Jones played the brother minister in a film; AGAIN...HE DID NOT LOOK LIKE HIM!

Where were you dumb fucking Nigroes when that happened?

Or...is it something else?  Is it because of her nationality?  What...first Afro Latinos "don't claim our blackness" enough for you stupid asses, and now...she's not black ENOUGH?!?!?!?!

GTFOH!!!!

You can't have it both ways.  Just because the internet allows you the opportunity to express your opinion, that doesn't make your opinion law, nor does it make it RIGHT!  You dumb Nigroes have probably never even supported a Black film festival before, much less a real Black film.

Do I really expect Hollywack to accurately tell our stories?  OF COURSE NOT!  But...she's a talented actress, and will probably do a great job.  Half you dumb ass Nigroes out there probably don't even OWN any Nina Simone recordings, but wanna talk a bunch of shit online.  You probably barely know her by name, and have NEVER listened to her music.

My advice...?  Unplug, and take a chill pill.  Stop talking a bunch of shit online, and get a fucking clue.  You half-stepping, unconscious ass, pseudo-militant internet wannabes need to seriously STFU, and need to really learn the ideology.  Stop talking some bullshit rhetoric that you don't even truly understand!   Fuck you, and your online blogs and petitions!  Where is all that bullshit when Mista Charlie be putting an ass whuppin' on your community via the police?  Where was all this fire and vitriol when our communities were getting gentrified like crazy?  But nah....Y'ALL dumb ass Nigroes wanna get online, and get upset over some bullshit ass movie.

SMGDMFH.....
