Black Angelina

Black Angelina or "A mighty heart"

Black Angelina

This ad for A Mighty Heart has been cycling through our site and just have to comment on it.

I sincerely still do not what to make of Angelina Jolie playing a black (albeit light-skinned) woman.

angelina and marianne

Yeah, sure, Marianne Pearl is her BFF but still, the former struggling actress in me just goes, Damn!

I can't help but see this as yet another example of how, not just latina neither just black, but black latina actresses are rendered invisible by the Hollywood crowd.
