    Plus, Zoe dates white guys,this is the real reason for the objections.

      no one cares who she dates… its deeper than that.

        Thank you. Hell it was the SOUL of Nina she doesn’t posses it. Part of Nina’s plight was to show beauti in her Africaness. She dared to say and prove I am beautiful you don’t define me. And she was that…beautiful. Zoe lacks artistic integrity if she really researched Nina and understood that how she looked had much to do with who she was…NINA was BAD to to bone for her understanding the importance of expressing her beauti.Black and Proud….Zoe doen’t really claim black.

    Tat is bull, but Zoe is Hollywood’s “Go To” black girl now! Tika Sumpter, although unseasoned would be a better choice than Zoe Saldana. Viola Davis would make a great older Nina and India Arie (if she can act) would be great as well. However, if Liz Taylor and Angelina Jolie can play Cleopatra and David Carradine an asian Kung Fu Master, I guess Zoe Saldana can play Nina Simone. SMDH…

    Zoe doesn’t have to willingly remain blind to
    it or take part in it. She doesn’t exist within a vacuum. It’s called artistic
    integrity and she is being held accountable, as she should be. She is not
    neutral in this simply because she’s an actor and is doing her “job.”

    She could’ve had the decency to have enough insight about Nina Simone to
    decline the job
