You seem to be overly entrenched, defensive and offended that I find her to be a skank and not qualified or equipped to play a part in this movie.


You're calling an actress a skank for being cast in a role you don't think she should be cast in. Without any reasonable explanation for why she's earned that title. Of course people are wondering what in the world you're rambling on about.

He already told you. He said it was her "DNA" aka all black women are "skanks" or "sleazy" to him, I guess?

I guess I was assuming there was some actual "reason" for his criticism.

That's definitely something.

Yeah, the AI movies will be produced by REAL Americans in Silicon Valley


They'll be produced by small teams of very dedicated, very creative, very talented people who would have never been given a shot in Hollywood, especially now.

With AI, will open up the medium to countless others who don't have the traditional astronomical resources it would take to to make a feature film.

It will also potentially save theaters and further hurt major Hollywood studios that have given the public dogshit for a decade-plus.

If real, I’ll pass.

I am not a fan of people changing characters just for the sake of change.

Stick with the book description of characters or make your own story.

Are you of the mindset that by someone pointing out the fact that a person of any other race other than theirs a skank, automatically designates that person to be a racist?

Absolutely not. You claimed she was a "skank", and this confused people because they are not aware of any skanky behavior from her. So maybe you know something that they don't? But then you clarified that she is a "skank" because of her DNA. How else can this be interpreted, other than you think all black women are skanks? What am I missing here?

Oh, I don't care what race she is. It's just my opinion that she's a skank. ...and yes, I would imagine any other skank's disposition is based on that person's DNA.

This...makes no sense.

What exactly is your definition of a skank?

So, just to be clear, it is your opinion that she is a skank, not because of any behavior or clothes she wears, but because of what? How her face looks? In other words, are you just saying that she's ugly?

You're really vested in this, aren't you?

Are you related to her in some way?

You called the actress a skank. We're (and yes there's multiple people in this thread) just trying to understand the reasoning. It's a message board discussion.

Why are you skirting answering the pretty direct questions?

I'm not skirting the issue. It's just that once you became offended and overly sensitive to my descriptors of her, you threw several different questions at me.

So you're asking what I personally think the definition of a "skank" is, correct?

In this instance I'm basing it strictly on her appearance and character. Every interview I've seen her give she appears to be very unpleasant. ...as well as, yes, overtly racist. I've already mentioned that I find her to be homely, but admittedly I agree that this could be subjective.

Could all of this be due to her DNA? Sure, I guess it could. Could it simply be learned as well? Sure, why not?

Nobody is offended when they just ask you to describe what you mean.

Care to give me the actual definition of a "skank"?

In its entirety.

A vulgar term used to describe a person that's disreputable or sleazy.

I mean I know she's talked about being discriminated against having skin that some consider "too dark" compared to lighter skinned Black folks. But I don't think that means she's disreputable or sleazy.
