White ppl don’t include you in their shows because you are not a part of their life experience, no matter how badly you want to be. Thats why you arent in their media as their friends or love interests. They dont think about you outside of racism.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people.

Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II says the optics of Marvel cancelling Black-led projects like ‘BLADE’ and ‘WONDER MAN’ is obvious.
“It should be a priority to change that narrative and to do what it takes to responsibly change that narrative with quality stories, with quality resources.”

the reason why the state of HBCU's make me so mad is because we *need* them. we need black spaces of higher education. like so bad. but not in their current form. not as an arm of white supremacy and respectability politics. but true black spaces of liberation
