It is very mean. Here you have adults attempting to interfer with a child's income simply because they don't like her look, don't believe she is black/ black enough or jealousy. This petition won't gain much mor traction hopefully and these misguided souls can get a life.

But a puerto rican played the role of a mexican. What is your point? Zendaya is mixed and identifies as black.

I think you all should use your time wisely and not waste it on something as trivial as this. Several actors did not look like the person they portrayed, Lil Momma - Left Eye, Denzel - Malcolm X, Jamie Foxx - Ray Charles, Diana Ross - Billie Holiday, Lynn Whitfield - Josephine Baker and Angela Basses - Tina Turner. They all nailed their roles.
Kola talks about using black face but suggest on her Facebook page that Megan Gabrielle should be cast in the role and she is just as light if not lighter than Zendaya. Kola has issues with mixed race people it appears because she made several comment about Zendaya not being black enough for the role. Do not let this woman's hatred lead you into nonsense. She is a phone activist and hypocrite.

You are misunderstanding the entire point. They are making a movie depicting Aaliyah with someone who doesnt resemble her at all. They could have picked a person that looks more like her. It has nothing to do with her race.

The role should have went to Keshia Chantè! Look at this link and tell me she does not embody Aaliyah's image and vocals http://necolebitchie.com/2014/05/keshia-chante-auditions-for-aaliyah-biopic-listen-to-her-sing/
