Has anyone seen the movie Camp? Sorry, this whole discussion made me think of it.

Indeed it does. And here's a real life white Effie, quite a treat to watch it the whole way through.... :P



I'm sorry if any of you disagree, but this kind of casting should just never happen. It looks and sounds ridiculous.

WTF?!!!! I agree that this should never ever happened and it will never happen again. I'm glad that she wasn't wearing blackface but this was horrible. Why didn't they find a black girl? She butchered that song. It was meant to be sung by a black woman and this girl distorted what the show was about. It was suppose to be about an all black girl singing group. I hope that this never happens and it was ridiculous.

Well, my older BFF, (in collage now) played Deena. (Not making this up! Totaly just really awkward) And she's white. They put some brown powder on her and she looked great! It was hers, though. I recommand buying some of that face cream that makes your face look "rich" but the kind of color for a black persons skin. :D (Hop u make it!

Are you ---- kidding me?!!!!! That was racist and that production should have been shut down. It's 2019!! Stop with this black facke shit!!!
