Isn't it funny that a bit of melanin getting a prime time slot has gotten a certain group of white people so upset? Especially for doing a story about civil rights and black people in america.
I bet they're the same people who say that Shonda Rhimes doesn't deserve the money she gets for her writing. The same ones who complained about Viola Davis making her speech about being the first black woman to win a leading Emmy 'political'. The same ones that were mad Star Wars featured black characters in its trailer and storyline.
I wonder why a bit of melanin getting representation of their stories and experience, especially when it involves a dark skinned women, always result in tweets attempting to discredit, mock or just flat out destroy them and the product.
But no yeah this is definitely comparable to say the Stonewall movie rewriting historical accounts of black and latino people to change the movie to be about a white boy form the south. Or say Meryl Streep putting on a shirt calling herself a slave while promoting a movie that willfully ignores the black feminist movement. Yep must be white erasure.
