@elonmusk NAACP Hypocrisy EXPOSED. Mr President The NAACP vocal abt “RACIAL JUSTICE” filed 4 lawsuits against U accusing U of “erasing BLACK HISTORY”while spending 50 yrs erasing Toni Vaz a Black woman from NYC who CREATED their most profitable & star-studded event NAACP Image Awards 1967
@elonmusk It’s like that moment in the film Do the Right Thing—where the absence of Black faces on the wall in a space built on Black culture sparked outrage.
@elonmusk Tonight, NAACP proudly honor Kamala Harris with the Chairman’s Award—while still blocking Toni Vaz’s family from attending the award show that she created.
Despite founding the Image Awards, Toni Vaz’s image is nowhere on the NAACP’s official website and unlikely even in their headquarters.
This omission raises serious questions about how institutions dedicated to advancing Black achievements continue to erase their own pioneers.
Thanks to the walk of fame committee at 101 y/o I’m thrilled to receive my very own star on HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME as Hollywood’s 1st Black stuntwoman. This honor is a testament to the hard work and barriers I broke throughout my career #Stuntwoman#class2025@naacpimageaward
@elonmusk Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has recognized Toni’s legacy & will honor her with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2025 yet in 21st century the very organization that profits from her vision refuses to acknowledge her rightful place in history.

@elonmusk Toni Vaz—actress, model, activist, and Hollywood’s first Black stuntwoman—CREATED the NAACP Image Awards in 1967 to uplift Black entertainers ignored by Hollywood.
@elonmusk@TuckerCarlson@EricTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr@benshapiro@RealCandaceO@CBS@FoxNews A last-minute memorial tribute to Toni Vaz cannot erase decades of neglect. She passed away at 101—broke and barely remembered. No calls, texts, or letters from the Chairman, CEO, President, or leadership were sent to offer condolences. Her legacy should never be ignored.
