Sharp Critic Mercilessly Tears Into Kenyan Actress Lupita Nyong’o for Being ‘A Hollywood Star’ (Part II)

On Lupita hanging out with Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Gabrielle Union and Kanye West;

Anybody (even you) can take a photo with Obama…so that ain’t a big deal. Just because you are in a movie with Brad Pitt doesn’t mean you will be hanging out with him. That’s like saying if you worked for Apple when Jobs was alive, you would be hanging out with Steve Jobs.

It doesn’t work like that.

Hollywood is the most cutthroat club in the world. It is extremely difficult to cut it in Hollywood if you started your career playing slave roles. Will Smith became a Hollywood star by first building his own fan base (in hip hop and Fresh Prince of Bel’Air)–

So Will always had millions of fans that would see his movies before he even tries to get more fans. Tupac would have been a Hollywood star because he also had his own loyal fan base. Of course both Tupac and Will are also great actors.

Unfortunately for Lupita, her looks doesn’t help. Hollywood likes Halle Berry looks. At least for women, being charcoal dark doesn’t help. For men, dark is good. Eddie Murphy opened the doors for the darkest of black men to become super stars.

Darkness is sexinesss if you are a dude; if you are a lady, Halle Berry is the standard. If we must have a Nyong’o in Hollywood, Issis has IT. How come nobody is even noticing her? If that was Halle Berry, she would be commanding attention. Believe me when I say this: I am doing this as a form of tough love..

Some of us lived in our cars chasing our dreams before breaking into this American society. Lupita goes to Hollywood she is gonna start from the bottom. She ain’t a star; You’ve got to be a realist. Tough love.

Lets not celebrate Lupita prematurely. She is like an intern that just landed a gig with Google. You can’t go around saying that the intern is a successful technology visionary.

That’s all I am saying.

Respectfully.

Plain truth or negative criticism? Be the judge…
