Alexandra need her behind beat. She needs a real talking to. Who are her friends? Like this girl is a damn mess and is not doing herself any favor.
I liked Storm since I first was introduced to the character in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends but I'm white and so she never held the meaning she does for POC and whites usually don't go deeper than "Hey they look pasty" when talking skin tone.
I can see both sides of the argument where people with Darker skinned feel betrayed by casting a lighter skinned actress given their is few little representation of darker skinned women in pop culture and I can see where someone lighter skinned felt Storm represented all black girls of all tones.
With that said her dismissiveness of the character and the source material is what really bugged me with her saying I won't have this conversation about a cartoon character and saying if it was Harriet Tubman she wouldn't do that. Simple if she doesn't want the backlash and doesn't respect the character and source material don't take the role as Malcolm Tucker would say F###ity Bye.
LOL this post made my night.
But on the real Alexandra doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. She doesn't seem to understand the racial politics that take place in Hollywood and the media at large. I don't want to be mad at her and I don't want to hate on her career, but she should really educate herself some more before she tries clapping back.
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
I thought of Janelle Monae, she looks regal and gives me a storm vibe, she's also in moonlight and came out as pansexual recently
I think Shipp just wanted some attention, actors /actress feed off that, I remember something about Halle Berry saying she's bullied by her classmates in high school and it turns out she's prom queen and everyone loved her (it needs some fact checking, but her prom wasn't happy about being called bullies)

This is not directed at anyone but I feel like it needs to be said.
One of the reason I try not to get into Storm discussion on message boards anymore, because I feel like there a underline of Racism and Sexism.
I look at some posters reply and go..."But your okay with Superman doing this and Hulk doing that and Thor doing some crazy shit...but let a Black Woman do that and the world is coming to an end.
The struggles is real people and I get tried of hitting my head against a wall of intolerances and ingronace. My sistas gave birth to man but can't even get a fair standing in this world.
That is all, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow.

Some of us wait, some of us act.
baby and I'm so GLAD you said it... because it is nothing but truth
thor can have all these cosmic feats no problem
hulk can fight gods left and right no problem
ww can be a goddess no problem
iceman can be an omega level mutant no problem
but storm cant because her name is storm, she should only control weather, she would be too powerful, she cant she cant she cant and did I mention she cant. I dont see all these cant's with other characters. as I said I'm glad u said it because it needed to be. and it does beg to question if not misogynoir then what is the reasoning for the double standard.

For me I like my heroes to struggle and the stronger the less that happens.
The characters in bold I find so damn boring, and I've said my feelings on Hulk and his bullsh*t here. I hate Iceman being able to "shift consciousness" and create himself a new body from moisture. It completely kills any sense of danger to him and makes no sense.
