@POTENTIALJUROR @MarcusRediker @BenLayPlay You’re absolutely correct. It was not my intention to equate the two and the headline does me no favors in that regard.
The fact that we are focused on what level of oppression each marginalized group is subjected to, diverts the attention away from the oppressors. I regret that
@POTENTIALJUROR @MarcusRediker @BenLayPlay I agree it’s not black face. I was trying to say that if you think black face is wrong, which we all should, then perhaps we should look at this erasing of dwarfism from characters traditionally played by dwarfs in a similar fashion.

NIGHTMARE ALLEY is a powerful new film by the great
Director Guillermo del Toro and the writer Kim Morgan.
It’s an unforgettsble experience that will haunt and terrify
You long after you’ve seen it.
Nightmare Alley is an amazing film with an amazing cast, congratulations to @RealGDT. Bradley is spectacular, Cate and Rooney beyond powerful! I loved it so much. Go see it!
In Gresham's @Nightmare_Alley novel, my character, The Major, is nothing more than a drunk caricature; he's not even in the Tyrone Powers original film. Thank you to @SunsetGunShot and @RealGDT for giving The Major humanity and value, free from clichés. #disabilityinclusion
LPA’s thoughts are with Jacob Blake and his family during these tragic times. We wholeheartedly reject the long-standing anti-Black racism that underlies these events and too many others. @LPANational
