She really is a lovely girl. I wish I’d see her in movies more often.

That last pic is the biz!

i thought everyone knew she was a black latina. witha last name like saldana i knew right off she wasn’t completely african american. she looks awesome btw!

She is beautiful.

Nice Pictures…
scuse my ignorance, but who is she ????

Lol @ Bill:

I was thinking the same thing…..

she’s an actress i believe she was in drumline and also guess who with ashton kutcher.

Hey Bill, she is an actress, check out her imdb page:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0757855/

El Negro!

she’s an actress….Yeah many ppl dont know that there are latin ppl who are black….actually I see that most Latin ppl are black/dark skinned……but most latin ppl dont like their african roots, there’s a saying in spanish that talks about “improving the race”..meaning date light skin/white ppl to improve the race…that’s the reason most ppl are surprised when a dark skin person speaks spanish…

she’s still black whether or not she has latin roots..many afro americans have english, french, portuguese, indian roots etc…does that mean they are not black??? people are soo confused it’s funny..obviously there’s no pride in being black

What does she play in? I saw her on an interview on BET but that was the first time I had ever seen her and I didn’t watch the complete interview.

OK, so she’s one of those…labels?? Hell, we’re all labeled…get over it. Your ass is black! You may speak Spanish, but you’re still black and it’s all good.

Well said #’s 10 and 11.

When are people gonna realize that black doesn’t just mean English speaking African Americans. 70% of the slaves were dropped off in South and Central America. There are a number of black people that have Latin roots as well as other roots. Black is black, whether you speak Spanish, English, or French.

i love her.
she will also be at Howard University’s Homecoming Parade this saturday.

i agree #13
i too am a “blacktina” or whatever the f*ck she said but really I am black and proud of it. i definately dont get into telling the world what i ck. it doesnt matter. i am happy for her and i love her as an actress, she could be green for all i care

I got this magazine…Jewel is pretty good. I might subscribe to them…

I’m blacindian! Half black, half indian! I a member of the “Blackfoot” tribe! hehe!

Sounds just like that crazy Tiger Woods $#!T!

These foreigners are some of the craziest damn people on the planet!

6th picture is FIERCE!

Thanks Angela.la !!!

Meatloaf what’s up with the foreigner comment?

Represent SUNSET1! I have a friend who has this race “issue” like Zoe. & Imma tell Zoe like I told my friend…Sorry boo boo BUT you are BLACK. If you have any doubts look in the mirror & examine your facial features and run your hair through your scalp (oh- before the Domicans blow it out! lmao!) Your ancestors came from Africa! Accept it! You are a black latino! What is wrong with that??? Your ancestors were stolen from Africa & dropped off in a Latin country- where they adopted the language/culture and intermixed with the native people- JUST LIKE AFRICAN AMERICANS did in America!

What’s up with people TELLING people who they are without knowing a damn thing about them or their history???

I, for one, come from mixed parentage, my mother is black, and my father is not; does that make me black? Absolutely NOT! Visually, you can see that there is more to me than JUST black, but the issue is the same, if ONE of my parents is black, I’m not going to deny the OTHER parent because a bunch of people who don’t know me, don’t give a shit about me now, and won’t give a shit about me in the future have decided who THEY want me to be???

If I’m standing between my mom and my dad and someone asks me, “Who are you?”, why SHOULD I say black, and leave my father standing there wondering “well who the fukk am I?”… and why should I say, “Polynesian and Puerto Rican” and leave my black mother standing there wondering, “Who the fukk am I that you CHOSE an ethnicity? And not only that, you CHOSE his?”

At the end of the day, as much as black people WANT everybody to claim BLACK over everything else, you never take in account that those people YOU”VE chosen an identity for have people who they actually CARE about to consider - so, if you mix black paint with white paint… it changes to a different tone, it may very well be a “dark” tone, but it definitely ain’t black anymore.

What’s “clueless” is people making decisions for total strangers. I KNOW that I’m not saying that I’m not a black person… I am, for all intents and purposes, but my father is just as much responsible for my being here as my mother, and that means, who HE is, is who I am.

Deal with it!!

LOOVE ZOE!

GO GIRL

WOW AN AFRO and LATINA Actress!!!!! Too bad Angelina is taking SISTER ROLES!!!!!!!!!

CARRINGTON IN HOUSTON

U ARE FRUSTRATED BUT WHEN SOMEONE OF ANOTHER RACE SEES YOU THEY CALL U BLACK. PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS WHAT U ARE MIXED WITH THEY SEE BROWN SKIN AND LABEL U AS BLACK> I am ALSO mixed, most people can tell because of my complexion and hair, however others especially white or foreigners just think Im black.

I dont think Black people WANT everyone to be black, its just that because the black genes are so dominant usually, PEOPLE ARE CONSIDERED BLACK because of their skin tone.

If Zoe didnot mention she was mixed and we saw a picture of her we would consider her a Black Actress.

no one wants you to diss your other heritage, but I bet if someone didnt know u they would say “the black girl”"

And on the issue with people checking their “facial features” that’s about the dumbest shiit I’ve ever heard, since when does your FACE determine ethnicity… I have a brother with hair just as straight as any white man I’ve ever seen, with gray eyes and damn near white skin… people thought that we were adopted and NOBODY believed, or BELIEVES that we are brothers. He used to sit around white people and listen to them talk about black people and then go off on them (because they assumed that HE was white)

So if your FACE determines who you are, then my brother may very well be a white man, correct?

But you’re missing the point TOT TOT…

The issue is that, I’m not CONCERNED with what others think… and should SHE, should YOU, should I, choose one over the other BECAUSE of what white people OR black people think when they “see” us?

Those same people you’re talking about SEE a thief when they see a black man… should we accept THAT because it’s what they “see” as well?

Did anyone see that movie Domino, where Monique’s character goes on Jerry Springer to announce the new words she’s invented to described mixed-race folks: Chinegro (which she claims to be), Japanic, etc.? It had nothing to do with the movie but it was hilarious.

I am kinda torn on the subject. On one hand i dont want to just leave my daddy out of my identity by not claiming I’m half white, but on the other it’s sooo much easier to just identify myself as black. When I’m wit my white friends they see me as a black girl, and when I’m wit my black friends they see me as a blck girl. And even tho i shouldnt let other people define my ethnicity, its still easier…. Oh and yall know that nigga wentworth miller from prison break did the same thing yo brotha did? Yep he had white people sayin nigger in front of his ass an then he shut them down lol!

I have some Dominican Friends up in the Bronx that you would swear up and down that they were of African American Decent until they opened up their mouth.

You know people say the dumbest things…
If I was Multi Racial, I would get annoyed that people asked me all the time “What’s Your Nationality”. I mean what’s up with that???

You don’t see Caucasians running around to each other asking Are you Jewish? Are you Italian ?? Are you Irish???
* If you LISTEN when a person talks, you won’t HAVE to ask them their nationality..You’ll KNOW just by listening !!

People always have dumb things to say..
If someone ask you a dumb question, give them a dumb answer..
When someone ask you what your race is, answer: The HUMAN Race !

Peace…

#22 Kammy

Everyone from Africa to London to the Carribean who comes to America, tries to qualify themselves by being better than blacks in America! We people who are darker than blue! Read Tee’s comments on post #23 and them say it loud…I’m Black and I’m Proud!

When a foreigner comes to America, the first thing they must do is try and seperate themselves from American blacks! “Oh, I’m not black, I’m blackachickawathalicious!” hehe!

Most of them come here on “blood money” and then pretend that they are the standard and not the exception back in their country or Continent!

Well guess what?…no ones looking down on my black azz! Play the damn hand God dealt you…spades and clubs! Not diamonds and hearts! If you got it going on so well, keep yo azz at home!

Now, if you’re a “foreigner” Kammy, you got a lot of nerve having an avatar called “Nigga please”! Are you from Nigeria or Haiti or Cuba? Fess up! Prime example of Zoe’s crazy azz! Let’s talk!

A man ought not think more of himself than he really is!

I hear you litebeauty,

But I’m not going the “easy” route when it comes to who I am… whether people like it or not, I am my mother AND my father.

“THEY” can identify me how they see fit, but I am, that I am. And I’m not concerned about who doesn’t like, and or agree with it. I’m not denying the man who raised, loved and loves me to please no strangers!

And you seem to have no problem with people identifying you as “the black girl”… and that’s cool, I don’t have an issue with being called black either - but do you take offense or correct people when they call you WHITE? If so, then you have some self reflection to do, because now, it’s not about “easy” you’ve CHOSEN - and genetically, biologically, whatever you want to call it, the decision is not yours.

OK, so she’s one of those…labels?? Hell, we’re all labeled…get over it. Your ass is black! You may speak Spanish, but you’re still black and it’s all good.

——————————————————
@ 13 I agree 100%! I get so annoyed when people of color talk about they dont want to be labled, thats usually the type of person that has an issue with thier own color. I bet if she were mixed with anything other than black/african she wouldnt have a problem answeing what shes mixed with!

Zoe Saldana is gorgeous
i didn’t know she spoke Spanish either
i knew she was of Hispanic though, by her last name

People will call themselves anything but black. I am black and proud. Celebrities especially always come up with the I’m mixed with this and that bullshit. If she mixed fine but if it doesnt matter why go through so much trouble saying what your mixed with. Somewhere down the line most people are mixed with something. But alot of celebs who are light always feel the need to say my great grandmother was french,italian,german…blah blah blah. Rather be a damn mutt than say I’m black.

i’ve seen her movies - drumline and guess who. she’s a great actress and she looks stunning in these photos.

#36 Preach! DG1234 said: “If she mixed fine but if it doesnt matter why go through so much trouble saying what your mixed with”

Zoe is “el Negro” in any Spanish or Latin culture! She eats “corn-tortillas” and “cornbread”!

She is really pretty

SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

I personally think it is pathetic that we as black people have to qualify who we are and what we are made up of. As Bill said…white people don’t sit around talking about if they are half Irish and half Italian.
I am from the Caribbean and people always try to fit me in a group…East Indian friends ask me if I am dougla (half east indian). My African American friends ask me why I have “good hair” (that in itself pisses me off…what is good hair? For me it is hair free of split ends). But more then all of that, I hate the fact that people are called out if they acknowledge what they have in them.
My ancestors may have been slaves, but they were also indentured labourers, amerindian, white etc…
I consider myself black and that is what I tell people but I have not and never will (to please any person…and I don’t give a rats ass who thinks I should) ignore my other heritage because accept it or not, I would not be me without them.

She looks good with her skinny ass, lol. I truly don’t understand why she always gotta say the same BS about her ethnicity. I mean damn, is that the only thing she knows?????????

she said as much on 106 and park and I have hated her since that day.. I loved her in that one movie she played a ballet dancer and watched for her since.. yes, i thought she was black.. because she IS black.. since when is latino a race? Black people are i nevery country of the world.. they can be natives of switzerland but doesn’t make them WHITE.. look at Boris Kudjoe he’s German but I’ve never heard him call himself caucasian like this bitch is trying to say she’s not “just” black. it has nothing to do with labels, it sounds to me she hates being CALLED black ( as some mixed race people do ) but yet she’s more than happy to capitalize on it and being a model for rocawear and shit… she needs to go

@MeatLoaf.. you are dead on!! Spanish people are just a racist as white’s believe it or not ( nto the one’s in Brooklyn I”m talkign the mofo’s IN Puerto rico and shit ) they hate blacks but are mixed with black a lot of the time.. they will look down on black people just as easily so I don’t know why shes frontin.. any REAL spanish ( non-mixed ) person would say she’s black.. she needs to stop tripping over herself.

@ #43 Boris Kudjoe’s german?! But yea i liked that ballet movie too, however i agree with Carrington In Houston and Dand!!

I think people are naturally curious about others’ ethnicities, and not just black people. Hell, people ask me all the time what my nationality is and I am not biracial, nor do I speak another language. If you are biracial and you want to name all of your ethnicities, races, or whatever, by all means go right ahead. I, myself, have asked people what their nationality is out of curiosity. But, I hate when people try to deny that they are black when that’s what they clearly are. It’s like some people would rather point out that they are 1/8th Indian than to say I’m black. Okay, somewhere down the line, we are all mixed with something. And for the record, I’m not saying that Zoe is denying that she is black, but there are a number of BLACK people with latin roots that do not recognize that they are black.

$41 DAND quoted: “…white people don’t sit around talking about if they are half Irish and half Italian.”

————————————

That’s not true! Jews from New York to the Oregon border will let you know what time it is before they marry yo azz! Stop pretending that other races aren’t keeping check on us just like we check each other!

Bill may just need a hug today, because I know he knows what its like in Jersey! Blacks in small row houses and it goes up from there to whites in mansions! The only black businesses are like bar-b-que, hair shops and churches! And, whites don’t support anything black! Arabs own all the grocery stores in black communities!

Irish and Itialians live together, go to church together, work together (hire each other first), eat at they’re own restaurants and educate their children about the racial differences! Go to any church this Sunday and you’ll see!

So, stop trying to “high-side” with yo “good hair” and black azz! No ones trying to fit you into anything! The problem is yo azz try to escape under the radar, but that dark skin just won’t let you pass! I’m just telling you like it is, because you and Zoe are “lost” on the planet if you think you’re heritage gives you something special!

I hear white people say they are mixed with german, greek etc; However, I never hear white people say they have black blood. Why is that??? And we know some of them do. But on the flip side, a black (african american, latino etc;) will say what they are mixed with in a heart beat.

You are made by God and identified by man. And that is just how it is.

I am sick of her talking about her ethnicity. She hates to be refered to as a black woman, yet she banks off of playing a black woman. She played the daughter of Bernie Mac and his BLACK wife in “Guess Who.” She is a mess. She also needs to find something else to talk about. I am mixed with a black mama and white daddy and I am proud of what I am. I usually just say I am black but I am the product of both my parents. I bet if this girl were Latina and white, she would be screaming that shit from the mountain tops!

Bill Said:
Yes Sir….

New Jersey is on some differant….

They got us broken out by racial lines..You never EVER
see a Black Man with a White Woman in New
Jersey..You’ll get lynched for that here !!!

But you are right.Jew hang with jews..the Irish hang with the Irish..The Italians have their own TERRITORY in Newark (Watch Soprano’s..Everything that you see on Soprano’s about Jersey is TRUE !!

Meatloaf, How ya know I was Carmel Complexion with Good Hair ???
lol..
jkd

Your Boy,
Bill

Picture #5 is absolutely stunning. I love that scarf and pancho dress. Keep it up girly!

Very Elegant and Classy……love the pictures!!!!

Zoe Saldana is an ugly, fierce-faced bitch. I don’t know her personally, but I get this vibe from her a lot that she’s one of those Black people that only wants to be around Whites. And yes, I said Black people cause that’s what the fuck she is. It KILLS me when the Blackest bitches (namely, the Blackest Dominicans) want to talk about some mixed shit. Zoe, honey, YOU A NIGGER with the ER! Truth of the matter is the vast majority of Dominicans are mixed, but our dear friend Zoe is NOT! I’ll even be so bold as to say that her ancestors were probably from HAITI!

It’s sad how Dominicans are such a self-hating people (a lot like Black Americans are, but won’t even go there). If you read about the dictatorship of Rafeal Leonidas Trujillo in that country, you’ll understand why. He’s like Hitler meets Michael Jackson. In a genocidal attempt, he slaughtered thousands of Haitians
when on of his own grandparents was Haitian. He wore make-up so he’d look more White and imposed his own issues with being Black on the entire population through propaganda, which he used to create a new Dominican identity of being a White, Catholic nation with a little Taino Indian in there, but NEVER any African! So yeah, I see why that heffa, like so many other ‘minicanos, gets in a little tizzy about being Black.

And Carrington, yeah, boo-hoo you’re mixed, boo-hoo don’t call me Black cause my whoever is whatever, get over it. You live in a country where, historically , due to concerns over property, one drop of Black blood makes you Black. Is that right? No, but that’s just the way it is, so always remember, YOU’RE A NIGGA TOO. A large number of Black Americans are mixed with all types of shit but they just get with the program. They understand how the white man is, and they too get tired of people trying to act like there’s something wrong with being Black. They too are sick of everybody wanting to be a nigga but nobody wanting to be a nigga!

ARCHULETACHICK THATS WHATS UUUUUUUUUUUP!

Thank you Bill!

Now don’t get me wrong, I know there are plenty of black professionals all over the east and west coast, but when it comes to “institutions” like businesses, marriage, employment and socialites, the lines are drawn in the sand. Just like Zoe’s trying to do! Bitch!

Bill is professional who has a good living and status, but he’ll tell you, blacks are consumers not producers! Zoe’s comments are meant to cut her from the black herd just like Jennifer Lopez and Rosie Perez did as soon as they got established!

DAND was actually quoting you Bill when he said: “…white people don’t sit around talking about if they are half Irish and half Italian.”

I’m sure Bill was telling us that we as black should make the first step and rise above the labels…but not on this day with Zoe! I get a culture shock everytime I travel the USA! If you really want to see culture shock…go north to Seattle Washington! Jungle fever like a mutha! Or, go south to the Carolinas! Red-necked like a mutha! Or go west to California! Gayer than a mutha! Or, go east to New York! Class distinction like a mutha!

But, what’s in a label? Just everything you need to know to decide if you want to stay, play or go away!

I am dominican. If you went to school you would know that we are mixed with everything. Why do I have to sit there and say “I am a mix of African and latino roots”. DUH!!!! stay your ass in school and learn something.

=========================================

I beg to differ! Speak for yourself about your “self-hate”! Black Americans come from some $#!T that had only one way…and that was up! We love ourselves more than anytime in the history of our most glorified existence! You betta ask somebody!

^^^^^^

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m so sick and effing TIRED of people assuming it’s ok for some to completely deny what’s a part of them

and BTW…there ARE 100% black people in teh world and I am one of them but my kids may not be if i marry my current boyfriend. i’ll be glad if they IDENTIFY with african and carribean culture but I wont for a second deny that they’ll have white, black and indian in them (hwoever small the %)!!!!!

it has NOTHING to do with not accepting who or what you are. I’m a proud African…anyone that KNOWS me knows this.

CARRINGTON IN HOUSTON

If Zoe didnot mention she was mixed and we saw a picture of her we would consider her a Black Actress.

no one wants you to diss your other heritage, but I bet if someone didnt know u they would say “the black girl””

^^^^

I’m not Carrignton BUT just because other’s identify her one way, doesn’t make it so.

I knew, the first time I saw Zoe in “centre stage” that she was biracial. but that’s just me

If someone calls me a Jamaican or a Trini, doesn’t make it so. I’m an African. Pure and simple.

if she is black latina or what ever she said, then whippy goldberg is really mexican!!

n BTW who ever said look at her name its latina or something most celebs change there names!

Well Damn Chocolaat, tell us how you really feel. LOL I feel you though. My father is mixed with 3 races to include black. My moms is black. It makes me black…why you ask? The common denominator is B-L-A-C-K! Who really cares if you’re mixed with something? Folk always want to be mixed with something. Why? DOes it garuantee you a place in heaven? Will you live longer? What prize do you win? NOthing! This is 2006 and damn near e’rybody is mixed with something..PERIOD. Who actually goes around and keeps count of 5% Irish, 10% Injun 15% other shyt and 50% BLACK..seriously who does that? If some type of genocide, slavery or holocaust were to take place again, trust me, they won’t single you out because you think you have other races in you. Guess what Buddy? You, too, will be lynched. No one is saying to deny your race but don’t make a big issue out of it and CARRINGTON, Why is it that the only time I see you post is when you think you are correcting someone or something? And you start off with something along the lines of “why the fuck”? Do you come here just to argue Brova or what? Now if your pops gone be offended because you didn’t claim his other 10 races than another issue lies deeper within him. There are other things to think about than ‘what I’m mixed with’. Your ethnicity doesn’t DEFINE you…its the contents or your character that DEFINES YOU. E’rybody sang with me…Say it LOUD! I’m BLACK AND I’M PROUD!

I am dominican. If you went to school you would know that we are mixed with everything. Why do I have to sit there and say “I am a mix of African and latino roots”. DUH!!!! stay your ass in school and learn something.

Diana, bitch, i hope you weren’t talking to me. I said mixed which doesn’t mean just Black and White, OK MAMI!
ME ESTAS ENTENDIENDO?! NO ME JERINGES, MI NEGRA!

shes black plain and simply!! my dads mixed race and my moms black.. i still class my self as black.. even though i really love my grandparents lol..

she said as much on 106 and park and I have hated her since that day.. I loved her in that one movie she played a ballet dancer and watched for her since.. yes, i thought she was black.. because she IS black.. since when is latino a race? Black people are i nevery country of the world.. they can be natives of switzerland but doesn’t make them WHITE.. look at Boris Kudjoe he’s German but I’ve never heard him call himself caucasian like this bitch is trying to say she’s not “just” black. it has nothing to do with labels, it sounds to me she hates being CALLED black ( as some mixed race people do ) but yet she’s more than happy to capitalize on it and being a model for rocawear and shit… she needs to go

^^^^

I heard boris say on at leat 3 occasions that he’s half german.

btw, boris didn’t have to (nor did he) deny his blackness by acknowledging his german roots

just sayin

LOL. why is this such an issue for AMERICANS?

Carrington in Houston just relax. U be U and don’t worry about how u should be labeled. All we’re saying is if u look like your black, your black. Everybody is mixed!!!

@ Concretestone
I’m glad you mentioned the word ROOTS. If you look under a tree for its roots, you will see that the roots have grown everywhere under the ground so I pose the question…Is it still called a tree or a tree mixed with this and that plant with a lil’ of this or that bush?

Yall not makin no kind of sense! Just cause she looks mostly black don’t mean she can’t call herself blatino! If that was the case then what about wentworth miller? That nigga look white as hell but he constantly says that he isn’t white and that he’s mixed….should we hate on him for denyin his white race *rolls eyes* NEXT!!!!!

I don’t understand what the big deal is when people ask about your nationality.Cuz i also heard from Amerie that she doesn’t like when people ask what she is…i always get asked if im dominican all i say is “no im jamaican” and keep it moving…theres no reason to get mad about it.

I hate when people act like being biracial or from the islands is some kind of privilege. Zoe Saldana, Sammy Sosa, La La, etc. are plain black as far as I’m concerned. She will always be described as a black female. And why is she being typecasted in movies that have an interracial theme ? ‘Guess Who?’ and an upcoming indie film starring Orlando Bloom.

^^^^, preach, she’s black as far as im concerned, so is christina milian

Giving #15 a STANDING ovation…
Carrington..you’ve got issues…let me guess, your Mom is white? Your Dad is white?? Either way, they’ve messed you up.

Carrington..please don’t procreate. Last thing we need is another Tiger Woods on the planet…get over yourself….many of us come from mixed parentage. Doesn’t matter how light you are or how fine your hair is…your ass is black!
Denying a parent??? Girl please, you are nothing but a walking joke.
