Some people may shallowly judge her for her looks, she is very beautiful for a "bigger women" and i do not know much about her personal life but she seems like a really nice genuine women.
If you are going to respond please address the points, its annoying when trolls just say "you dont know her blah blah blah" i brought up some points that i tried to back it up. the least you can do is the same thing- why people don't hate her- believe it or not the people who hate her dont watch her movies and think "she is strong and independent! i hate that i like my women weak and dependent!" i mean im sure there are those born in the 30s and others who still do think that but most i am sure do not
Legitimate reasons to dislike her acting career - She plays her 2 dimensional archetype role yet gets appraisal as a "great actress". shes good at the role she plays, like Michelle rodriguez, but her range is so weak it soon becomes tiresome when people say she is "amazing". archetypes are not the mark of an amazing acctress. Range and diversity are. And she has certainly tried this, doing comedies, actions (taxi), feel good family, serious historical dramas. Yet every time we see the same old queen latifa, doing the exact same thing, playing the exact same character. again and again and again..
3 a career littered with unmemorable B movies (but she was many big A movies you say!! that is in my next point) you go through her most recent 10 films and they are all basically unknown and score under 5.6 many alot worse. Does that really sound like a good actress.. - The A films she is in she never plays a main role, when unsuccessful they are are easily forgettable and can certainly not be credited with adding much to the film when they are succcess's. Replace her with "name any generic actress" and the film would lose nothing. The only movies in her career that she played a semi sizable although still not the lead role and did well are 4. 4! stranger than fiction, hairspray, chicago and the bone collector. And each could have easily done without her and guaranteed. Not a single person went to any of these 4 successes saying "i cant wait to see this queen latifa movie!!" if you can find me one i will give you all my possesions i promise

I love Queen. I have for the longest time. Probably since Living Single. I don't know why anyone would hate on her. She seems so down to earth and kind. She overly excert herself. As far as her movies it doesn't matter to me if anyone else considers her A or B lister. Because I think any role she takes on is always on point and is never played down. I agree with your points.

Yes. It is unfortunate that the black community has judged and hated
her for her sexual orientation. But there is hope. Young black people, are rejecting the hateful ways of their elders. Progress is not overnight, but it is happening.
'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives. Use it. Save a life. -

If you look a few posts up, the thread about Hollywood "grooming" her, you get an AAA Prime example of a mouth breathing hater. It makes having a lost useless. They hate just because they are filled with hate.
There is no legitimate reason to hate her. She has done nothing to warrant the hate at all.
