Amandla Stenberg Refuses to Let Her Identity Dictate Her Career 

Scott Crosby hell yes. I just saw the hate u give and I felt like a creep being 31 and keep being amazed by her beauty. Cheek bones, jaw line. Her brain seems pretty awesome.

Novella Cinephile Hate??

Scott Crosby I don’t understand your reply. The hate u give is a movie she’s in...

Novella Cinephile You said “The Hate I gave” which hate are you talking about exactly??

Scott Crosby dude what are you not understanding. The hate u give=title of a movie. Watch the trailer. Do I need to break it down more?

It’s not hers

Peculiarities she cut her hair

Young Actors Guild who cares. It mimics her hair. She’s not wearing blonde weave lol

Live Epic every girl wears weave

D. Joseph the person was complimenting her hair and it’s not hers, just because I don’t like her doesn’t mean I care I was correcting

Asia Cooley very well said.

Well said!

You needed to advertise ur christian because?

@@yanniakajohn3858 It is a part of me, in my name, and my existence. I don't remember asking for money or promoting my identity in exchange for profit therefore it's a bit of a stretch to assume that I'm commercializing it.

@@lilyzemengist8091 being Christian is apart of your name? What?

Yanni Green why this attack? I suppose she said that cause religion is often considered to be against sexuality. She wanted to address her self to present her identity and what she believes...

Me too girl, me too 🙈🙀

Me to

I love her so much ever since Colombiana came out girl

Leslie D. What a classy way to say it

@@leslied.2475 she is lesbian now

Mpho April those are extensions . Her hair is very short at the moment

joyuexful I don’t think Amandla’s hair here was extensions I think it was just before she cut it.

Yes she is baby

How are you still coming out?

Cuz I haven't told everyone I know

I’m 15 and CANT come out sooooooo

Nobody cares about your sexuality.

@@asembo9024 he's sad pay no mind to ignorance

CLUELESS faaaaaaaacts

I'm sorry.

did you watch it now???

@Cheetah 6 Why y'all always say Darkskins are jealous. The reason why she saying thus is because we are tired of getting overlooked because of our darker skin tone!

@Cheetah 6 Come on STOP!!! We all know how HOLLYWOOD operate. They cast light biracial girls.. Its the industry standard

@Cheetah 6 hello. Light skin black people are of course black and shoukd be in Hollywood as well. However. Its nice to see and have more darker skinned women in there as well. ALL shades of black should be represented

They get their light skin from their white parent not from their dark-skinned black parent.

Amandla is biracial not black.

Ok

She actually came out as gay in an interview with her now girlfriend King princess in wonderland magazine a while ago

@@seacretly and they came out as non binary now

why did you put bi in “

No they're not

@@yanniakajohn3858 Who do you think represents young black hollywood then?

@@alfie6441 you didn't say that, you said that " she and people like yara are the main representation for the black community" and now your saying black young hollywood (which btw is not structurally correct) but make up your mind you don't know if you talking about young black people or black people (actors) in general in hollywood.

@@yanniakajohn3858 why are you coming with that energy? Given the context of the video and the stuff she talks about I think it should go without saying that I meant the black community in Hollywood and you still didn't even answer my question if not them then who represents the black community in Hollywood the point I'm trying to make is when you think about the people that Hollywood tends to cast in black roles nowadays they're typically mixed race people like Amandla and Yara

@@alfie6441 one, I didnt even recognize the mixed race people you just said, I only recognize the pure black actors. 2.) How would ik what you mean, if you don't write it. 3.) Be thankful some countries got nothing. Use what you got til you get more.

Crybxby_. Kaa already did

Why?

@@animock3051 why not?

@@coraalice3703 I asked you first. What makes her "perfect" for Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot?

@@animock3051 Honestly she's just one of my favourite actresses atm, and I mean she's the right age and all that. Like I'm not about to write a 10 page essay justifying why I think she'd be good, I just really like her

@@coraalice3703 Well since amandla is so passionate about calling out cultural appropriation, she wouldn't be fit for the role since vampires and the myth of vampire slaying is only for white people

Cringe

@@dbchoobie1924 facts

Princess Nayaaa wce?

THAT'S A GOOD THING! Beauty standards for women are so unrealistic. Arm pit hair and pubic hair are a part of the body too, it shouldn't be such a big deal. Men do this all the time, why do women have to be primed and prepped all the time? How does that standard transfer to everyday real-life? Are we always at our best or well-shaved or plucked to perfection in our everyday lives? Well, that's how I think about it...

@@yanniakajohn3858 Not shaving your armpits doesn't mean that you are unhygienic. I know both men and women that have armpit hair and never smell (plus, they use deodorant) and they live an overall healthy lifestyle. So are you telling me that you have never met a man that did not shave his arm hair and did not smell? Why is it thay it is acceptable for men but not women, have you ever thought of questioning this idea? That is a really awful interpretation of taking care of yourself. Grooming is NOT EQUIVALENT to being hygenic. And not because someone is plus-size or skinny doesn't mean that they don't take care of themselves and eat right (and can be healthy individuals withouthealth problems). And you are putting the word white in parenthesis and I am not certain why, but I presume you are referring to racial background, but what does anything being discussed within the confines of this conversation regarding your intial comment have to do with race? Anyone, regardless of race can choose to have hairy pits. Being clean has nothing to do with being hairy as you can naturally not have a hairy body/skin (not referring to armpits or pubic hair in this case, as all adults possess this) and be really dirty.

@@leaellas8400 i agree 100%

You know, everything can be edited, right ? Armpit hair is natural...

Ive been insecure about armpit hair for so long idk why

This is a really late comment but I fully agree with what you said. It’s still a problem and people think just cause they are casting light skinned or mixed black women in shows and movies these days everything is fine because they are ‘black’ and it really pisses me of . I’m glad she stepped down from the shuri black panther audition because she is not fully African.

you were way ahead of us 💖

wigs are very versatile

Vongai Muswinu yup. But the hair fits hers

honey. she didnt just cut it. she shaved it!! like a man!. jeez! she used 2b so inspiring but not anymore. i see how messed up in the head she really is. that poor girl rue had such a bright future. she wanna talk about blm whatever. when she going around kissing every white boy on her movie. she is a big hypocrite &liar.

violadash ummm there is nothing wrong with shaving your hair. Calm down

violadash you sound so ignorant. hair doesn’t make a person.

shAlom montGOmery yeah she’s in The Hate U Give

Yes

Lol.

she said "she or them" though....
