Actors/Actresses can be vetted just like politicians before you give your support. Why do you allow yourself to be bamboozled when they let you know who they truly are before you make the decision to support them. The devil HAS to let you know his stance in advance.
Including Joy Reid, Stephen A Smith, right, who have spoken out for FBA causes? Also , do you think for one moment they too don't have their own side of the story to tell including the disparaging remarks from the likes of T. Nasheed?

She crossed the Rubicon of disrepect. If only she turned down the Aretha Franklin role and stated that the roll should be played by FBA she would have gotten mad respect from FBA. She is a grifter and must suffer the consequences of her actions.

Some of these immigrants are not on the level of most successful Black Americans that’s why they continuously compare themselves to Pookie and Ray Ray.
Thats what they do, they compare themselves to the lowest denominator of our community to flatter their fragile ego's and jealousy, but what if we did that to them, pointing out the poverty, dysfunction, self- hatred nd criminality in their countries, amongst other things, they wouldn't like it!!!
I do not think she should be allowed to play African American characters and or copy their customs, especially their music and culture, which she is whenever she is singing RnB / Jazz and or pop songs. You can discuss in an educated, respectful way differences and misunderstandings in the Black Diaspora without disrespecting anyone, especially African Americans. She should not have played Ms. Harriet Tubman or anyone else. I found her comments very offensive, and I did not forget them. Also, you do not have to be an FBA to see the hypocrisy of people like her. I know it is not all Nigerians, but it is a no for me and for her.
That is usually the @as holes, not all of them have that mentality! "To be honest it is ghetto in every race and culture, especially European Americans??
I'm so sick and tired they have gotten a free ride off black American backs she should be held accountable for the disrespect as others I WILL NEVER SUPPORT HER OR SHOULD SHE BE FORGIVEN!!!
Delineation should be the order of the day. Hollywood is co-optiing our experiences by using these tether actors and actresses. This woman is an example of this. Let that sink in.
Nigerians & Jamaicans stay talking ish about us and I think it may be part of her deal to disrespect and mock FBA. I didnt & will nvr support her whatever grift she has going on. She can hold her own nuts.
I never watched Harriet and im not gonna watch wicked. I already had an issue with a black woman playing a green witch. This isn't just about her being anti black American though. Its also about the fact that many brits are taking opportunities from Americans actors of all races and genders. This has been an issue for years now. When Sam Jackson called this out years ago people attacked him but he was right. Im noticing Canadians being given opportunities as well.
Just as American actors have acting jobs and careers in Canada and Britain … they don’t complain tho … and what’s wrong with a black woman playing the role of a fictional character that’s a green witch .. idk if you know but this green witch is a very prominent character from a very much generationally beloved and respected piece of artistry … you do know that they had a black version called the wiz where they literally were the exact same character just the wiz one was a lot uglier & stereotypical and not green … so I don’t see the unnecessary issue you are having …. The film was incredible btw this black woman(regardless of region) is talented af ! And is deserving of all accolades she is about to get from this performance…. Also id like to point out that a lot of times actors from different countries are likely sought out from their respective regions due to their talent reaching broad audiences … …. Yall do know that African natives don’t see Black Americans as African Americans right ?? .. maybe yall would like to try to address that issue .. or maybe just like address the actual issue of black conservatives in this country
@@lightintheworld5690If our country is producing the film it’s fair. I can see if Africa or the Caribbean is producing a film but black Americans are not going over there and acting in those movies.

@@tarikviaer-mcclymont5762yes really. It never goes well when a black is at the mercy of a white person in Hollywood. When they have supportive black base they always have something to fall back on.

There is a pattern with tethers whether they were born in the US or not, if they have immigrant parents or grandparents or great-grandparents they all have the exact same clueless, colonized, boot-licker mentality SMH
OMG-I’ve been saying this for years and I’m so glad to run across someone who is finally talking about it! I will NEVER watch this woman’s content. She despises Afro-Americans-and yet can’t stop stealing our music, culture and playing our heroines. Like, Bee, portray your people’s heroes whom you love and revere. Ugh. Hollywood keeps hiring Black citizens in the UK over Afro-Americans-in our OWN country because they don’t want to get off that money-and are giddy at finally being able to hamstring Black Americans, knowing that we are too fractured to fight back at the moment. Ugh. Btw-she didn’t need to wear any green makeup. (Now I’m just being petty!)
She needs to be held accountable and we need to continue to gatekeep our culture. The woman that she's dating is of Caribbean descent. However, she was raised in American around black Americans.
I refuse to watch any of her movies even after they are on streaming services. I will not support that person after she made disparaging comments about Black American women, yet her ass is always playing Black American women (Celie from Color Purple, Aretha Franklin, Harriet Tubman). She can kiss the entirety of my Black American behind! Much love, peace, and power to my sistas. Please keep the line tight and let no one slip in.
The reason people get away with this is because FBA dont have a backbone. We dont stand on business. We complain and then we forget and move on. We dont demand respect at all. No one cares about our outrage on social media especially if theres no axtion to back it up. I know personally im not watching wicked the same way i didnt watch Harriet.
You don't speak for FBA.....FBA always stand on business....Who you think got America popping....just because FBA get sabotage don't mean we not about it....Tell me whose BACK is stronger than FBA.....
Held accountable until she humbled herself and apologizes. This far she is not showing remorse.✊🏽This Afro Canadian woman of African American descent stand in solidarity with my people!
JEALOUS??? Of the Nigerian dollar that isn't worth a dime? Fix your country and stay out of ours and stay out of grown folks/Black American people's business!
You cannot play our icon and disrespect us. That's unacceptable. I will never forget or forgive what this lady did and will not support anything she is apart of.
There's nothin' she can do for me. As far as I'm concerned she spoke her heart THEN with all those nasty things she said, especially about Black Women. Now she's just side steppin' and backtrackin' without having to apologize. There's somethin' just not right about her spirit when it comes to us. Not to be trusted.
For me her performances are note accurate but not soulful. She hits all the notes but it sounds and feels empty. From what I've read of her she is British Nigerian elite. She has no clue what Black British or Black Americans have endured and fight for. Personally, I don't like hiw her team of people are chasing JHud around trying to prove that Cynthia is better. Every time JHud is posted Cynthia is posted singing the same song. JHud has blazed her own trail, Cynthia should blaze hers. Ain't no competition. JHud all day every day!
.........When Black American Actors played African Icons on Film......like Denzel playing Stephen Biko.......Denzel didn't disrespect the South African people for example...... Denzel held South African people in high honor and respect.......but she chose to trash Black Americans...which was so classless of her......
Agreed. She's not in the tradition of Diasporan actors like Harry Belafonte, who not only played Black Americans but respected and joined the Black American struggle.
Absolutely. However we Black South have always respected Black Americans. That is why we have so many Black Americans living in SA without any problems.
This reminds me of that black/british comedian, "London", who was in "Eat, Pray, Love". While talking down to the other girls in the show, she admitted that she had to come to the U.S. to launch her stand-up career. Obviously she has no support in England. But they come here and disrespect us. I will not support these "self-hating" British grifters.
Forgive but never forget. Hold those who are disrespectful accountable for their actions, it'll be unfair to put all Black immigrant actors on trial. John Boyega & Idris Elba(for example) have similar backgrounds but don't utter that kind of nonsense.
Absolutely Not!!! I've never liked Cynthia, I saw that Harriet movie on dvd for the first time last weekend, and I wasn't impressed, I wasted approximately 10 minutes watching that mess, and I definitely won't be wasting my time, and money on watching her in Wicked.
Why do we care about what these people think or say about us? We know how they feel about us. Not saying that we shouldn’t defend our image but they aren’t worth the energy IMO. Place them in the same category as bigoted non Black people and act accordingly.
Exactly, it is these white J entertainment industry executives who choose these non black American actresses and actors. Look at Lupita Nyong'o. She gets a lot of roles. What happened to the young VA actresses? All we ever see is Viola Davis. Let's be honest. Cynthia nor Lupita look like the average black American woman. What happened to Gabriel Union? Must all the few black actresses be bald with nose rings? I am so disgusted how they portray black women's image.
Send her packing. Stop supporting anyone who wants to sit at the table and speak down to the very ones you want to pay for your box office. Stop. It's not hard, just stop. Let them pay her box office.
Nope to the question and nope to the 2nd. Until BA stop letting folks disrespect us, they will continue to and even unfortunately ppl that look like us. She’s a visitor in our country and she should show some respect and gratitude.
1) Ariana Grande is Hispanic, and she’s a more seasoned actress that has been in the industry far longer than Cynthia 2) ALL Nigerians refer to African Americans as “akatta” which means wild animal. 😖 I’m West African and we know this about them 3) I LOVE FBA folks, though I’m not one myself. I was born and raised in America, and I have countless AA loved ones. The disrespect my fellow Africans display is very disappointing and embarrassing to me
The funny thing is. She wants to be linked into the untouchable community. Who paid you less for a role in which you make the movie. All while wanting to distance yourself from the community who is trying to warn you about Hollyweird.
Normally I’d be upset with the pay disparity but based on her behavior towards Black Americans, she can fight her own battles. Let that tether get her wake up call!
We Black Americans aren’t stupid and have wised up to the deceitful ways about those outside the community. No more gaslighting from these mocking, disrespectful birds. we’ve left them to the wolves!!!!
After this last election, I have come to the conclusion that we Black Americans have no one but Us , therefore I will support no one but Us.... Period !

Nope to the question and nope to the 2nd. Until BA stop letting folks disrespect us, they will continue to and even unfortunately ppl that look like us. She’s a visitor in our country and she should show some respect and gratitude.
How can you do both? Why do black Americans have a hard time setting boundaries and sticking to them? 🙄
Nope!!
Not all Jamaican
Soul selling!
1) Ariana Grande is Hispanic, and she’s a more seasoned actress that has been in the industry far longer than Cynthia
2) ALL Nigerians refer to African Americans as “akatta” which means wild animal. 😖 I’m West African and we know this about them
3) I LOVE FBA folks, though I’m not one myself. I was born and raised in America, and I have countless AA loved ones. The disrespect my fellow Africans display is very disappointing and embarrassing to me
Ariana Is Italian American. Foundational Black Americans know what they call us but doesn't mean anything just makes them look nasty.
The funny thing is. She wants to be linked into the untouchable community. Who paid you less for a role in which you make the movie. All while wanting to distance yourself from the community who is trying to warn you about Hollyweird.
we're doing a better job of keeping score of these disrespectful tethers comments👋😎
Normally I’d be upset with the pay disparity but based on her behavior towards Black Americans, she can fight her own battles. Let that tether get her wake up call!
