they chose a black woman who hasn’t attended the met in 10y w her 14yo daughter to pull their fake activism while using an app owned by a billionaire who supports the same country that is responsible for…..
y’all see where i’m going? 😂 bc this is peak fake activism
Just waking up in Cannes with my espresso to see them disrespecting Kelly Rowland last night on the carpet.
The difference is striking in how ‘some’ are rushed off the steps with arms in her face and stepping on her dress and some, they will wait patiently for.
To see Kelly endure prejudice, and yes I know exactly what that was by the videos and photos, is sad. Guess what? We aren’t the problem, when I can count on ONE hand how many Black women are in the audience at Cannes, maybe the problem is ‘some’ of your ignorant poorly trained security and ushers that need to leave their Karen ism at home.
As someone who has visited France for the past 30 years (me) and has seen a wave kick up on racism post ‘someone orange,’ only a Black American woman will understand what Kelly Rowland experienced on the Cannes red carpet.
In past years, not now, because they know I will ‘all the way’ check them, I’ve had to put ‘some’ ignorant Cannes ushers and security in their place as well. I know that Claire Huxtable finger Kelly has up is pointing out someone who wasn’t raised correctly and is acting a fool.
I thought this year was SO much better, because wow they learned, they smiled, they made happy banter, some recognized me from past years, there seemed to be less aggression and scowls coming from them and they also know I do not subscribe to rude behavior.
The message for those disrespecting Kelly is that we will still keep coming back, you will have to see us living our fabulous wealthy Black lives in abundance and if your are a bigot, you will remain in a state of rage.
If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.
Again overlooking actual trans actors. The good/method actor debate is tired. Amir Khan is a great actor, you won’t cast him to play a female lead just as you won’t cast a great actress to play a male lead regardless of how good or bad their performance is, so cast trans actors!
