Here is why Cynthia Erivo, in particular, should not play Harriet Tubman.

TL; DR: There’s a troubling pattern of Cynthia repeatedly, deliberately, selectively *choosing* to not give respect to African-American heritage – the heritage of Harriet Tubman.

Every time I consider making my account private, the universe provides a reason for threads like this one to remain accessible and shareable. I sincerely hope @akasorority1908 takes the time to learn more about their newest honorary member.

@WrittenByHanna She was also very nasty to child actress Quvenzhané Wallis bullying her online.

The framing of @paularogo's @Essence piece on Cynthia Erivo is…interesting.

This response will be a long thread bc it's impt that:
◾️we step back to analyze the larger narrative that's being created ◾️Essence is aware that we're aware of deliberate editorial decisions.

.@CynthiaEriVo pushes back on criticism of her new role as Harriet Tubman: https://t.co/tgJhoy1HJg

@RobertIger As with Mother Harriet,we will also project the legacy of Auntie Aretha as well https://t.co/KWeWTIQEvo There’s no “authenticity”, just arrogance. The arrogance to repeatedly portray cherished figures of a group she does not belong to; a group she’s repeatedly disrespected

Allison Bailey is suing Stonewall. She needs your help.

She had to build her own crowdfunding site because she was closed down by Crowdjustice

Attention please! All black people in America are not African American. People with parents or grandparents from outside of the U.S. do not have the same culture nor history as AAs.

Happy 98th Birthday to veteran Lena King of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-female African American unit sent overseas during WWII. These women kept mail flowing to nearly 7 million soldiers in the European Theater of Operation. Follow @SankofaTravelHr

👑 Harriet.

@eshawiii You’d be wise to consider context before being triggered by the mere use of “black women,” & remember that specificity matters. Biden’s trans EO specifically disadvantages WOMEN - and BLACK WOMEN in particular.

Save your cut & paste “division” canard for someone else. Blocked.

[Allison Bailey @BluskyeAllison]

Women put @POTUS in the WH, Black women, in particular. The same women whose girls benefit from sports scholarships. The same women who are overrepresented in the prison population & on day one, a white man @JoeBiden signs away their rights.

Such a betrayal.

[Allison Bailey @BluskyeAllison]

5/ What a shameful way to begin your presidency.

I trust that the reality of the harms of ‘gender identity’ will now be laid bare & face challenge.

The rights & protections of WOMEN & GIRLS are not yours to sign away.

END

[Allison Bailey @BluskyeAllison]

4/ You said that democracy has prevailed. Has it? Because your Executive Order has bypassed democracy for WOMEN & GIRLS.

There is no democracy for nataL WOMEN, the group most affected by MALE violence, oppression coercion & domination.
