I was thinking the same thing, but didn't wanna put out anymore negativity. BUT..... Black women in Hollywood, usually get a one & done type of treatment at the awards.   

For instance they get one year, one role, that is critically acclaimed & all the shows are on their jock sweating them. The Golden Globes, Oscars, SAG, Critics Choice etc. Then they aren't acknowledged or recognized or nominated there after.   We have seen this with Halle, Monique, Gabby Sidibe, the ladies of The Help, Angela Bassett, Taraji Henson, Whoopi,J Hud etc..

Some may have lucked out & gotten a 2nd film that was award worthy, most do not.

Why cant blk women get CONTINUOUS ROLES like Helen Miren, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Katherine Hepburn, etc...


The playing field is NOT even!!

Wow Ochocinco shouted out Lupita? He is sexy and I follow him on IG but I never thought he'd give a black girl shine.

I wonder if her spotlight will cause a spike in women going natural and being okay with dark skin and natural black beauty?

It's a shame black people are arguing over he color in that post. White people don't argue about color when a white person gets shine...smh...
