Black Actress Cries, Apologizes to ‘Darker-Skinned Actresses’ For Not Being Black Enough

A black actress who landed a lead role in a film that was originally written for an old white man broke down and cried on camera because she felt guilty about not being dark skinned enough.

Yes, really.

Indeed, Thandiwe Newton says she is so mortified at not being black enough, she wants to “apologise every day to darker-skinned actresses.”

Sky News reports: “Her new film, God’s Country, has been adapted from a short story by James Lee Burke – but has swapped the lead character from an older white man into a black woman.”
