I will leave her "Bey"

So when I found out Beyonce "Sasha" Knowles was up for the role of Angela Davis, I literally wanted to scream to the mountain top, "No! No! No! Not Bey"!!! But I have calmed down since. I've calmed down, because right as I was about to write a blog bashing and even "judging" her no acting ass, I thought about something. These film makers are trying to make entertaining movies that will also educate some of us (and also they are running out of creative ideas for movies so they just do biography's now), but who will see these films? Think about it. Cadillac Records was a mediocre movie that briefly told the story of several very,very prominent jazz musicians. Most of whom a lot of people never heard of. But do you think even half the people that saw it would have seen it if it weren't for Beyonce? Honestly, I wouldn't have.

So here's the story of black activis Angela Davis that Bey is set to play. I have a friend who everyone says she looks like Angela and she doesn't even know who this woman is. It's ok. The "man" didn't teach us too much about the black radicals and actavist in history( or black folk period), so if you're not familiar with her, it's ok. But to my point, if Bey is not in this film, it might as well be an Indi film. Wait! Unless they can get Angela Bassett to play the role. I think enough movie goers (black, white, young and old) respect her as an actress. Hhhmmm? You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. But wait, if they are concerned about appearance, Angela Bassett is a little darker than Ms.Davis. Maybe they can get a white woman to play her like Robert Downy, in Tropic Thunder. Well, regardless of who they get to play the role, I will not knock Bey's hustle because at the end of the day ( I should shoot myself for saying that), people will get to see Angela Davis' story told if Beyonce is in the film. Hey, I'm not "crazy in love"with her, but I'll be damned if I dare judge her.
