So.... about this. 😒 #OscarsSoWhite twitter.com/i/moments/9449…
I invite you to read all of @rebel19’s thread below because she nails it, as always. I also agree with @jes_chastain’s point that the onus is on Hollywood to make more films with WOC leads. HOWEVER. #OscarsSoWhite

Let's talk about the precarious position in which people of color and underrepresented communities are placed with this mess, all of which could have been avoided. This will be a #thread.
First, @NewYorker didn't have to give white supremacist Steve Bannon a platform to begin with. The conversation really should have started and ended there. They really tried it.

And then Remnick with that whole "I thought about it and..." BS. So you were NOT thinking before?
Second, @NewYorker KNEW they were living foul because they told NO ONE. Even the venue was like... "huh? what? WHO?!" Which tells you that the New Yorker knew this was the wrong call to make but thought they could survive the blowback. But then...

Black women contribute more to the U.S. economy and reap fewer benefits in return than any other demographic group. Join me right now using #PayBlackWomen for a tweet chat on how and why our economy is failing black women. S/o to @LeslieMac for coining the hashtag!
As workers, entrepreneurs, students, and consumers, Black women outperform other demographics and overperform their own proportion of the U.S. population across measures of workforce participation, entrepreneurship, college enrollment, and consumption. #PayBlackWomen
Black women are breadwinners for their households 67% of the time, and tend to be primary decision-makers for household purchases. What do the wage and wealth gaps they face mean for the broader economy? #PayBlackWomen

We all should be proactive in learning about marginalized communities of which we are not a part. I mean learning the way you did in school:
LISTENING. Doing independent reading. Asking questions at the appropriate time only when you can’t find the answer yourself. Modeling. 👇🏾
I have much to learn about the LGBTQIA community and the disabled community. Even at age 47. I stumble. I fall flat on my face. It’s tough.

Imagine hating one man so much that you will endanger the lives of millions of people SOLELY to spite him. Trump is truly a super villain.
Trump is a white supremacist. Meaning he believes white people are superior to those of all other races & should therefore dominate society.
Now, it's a bold claim. But Trump believes in eugenics & that you have to be born w/ certain genes to succeed. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

Quick note about this bot thing happening. Multiple bots are saying "Trump is a better president. Obama was golfing during Katrina!"
Now, we all know Bush was president during Katrina. Obama was then an Illinois State Senstor. Remember Kanye? And "Heckuva job, Brownie?"
So we rational folks could just overlook the bots. But the bots feed into the narrative and actual ignorant humans buy into it.
