“Recent studies on facial recognition technologies find that many of these systems perform poorly on Black faces...” https://t.co/XP3vlOr1Rq

Needed to see this 💜 https://t.co/vGeS7SD7Gw

[Me @KirkWrites79]

Black filmmakers and executives get honest about their experiences in Hollywood

"They discussed systemic racism in Hollywood, what needs to change and their frustration with years of talk and little action."

I’m glad you enjoyed!

[Matthew A. Cherry @MatthewACherry]

Wow smh

[Charles M. Blow @CharlesMBlow]

The idea that I would plead with white Americans to honor humanity and acknowledge that I “matter” is a hard no. My anger won’t allow it.

[Charles M. Blow @CharlesMBlow]

Trump just signed an executive order than loosely incentivized some milquetoast programs (and funds none), but it punished nothing or no one. This is GARBAGE! This is an attempt at narrative shift. Don’t be fooled by this insulting overture.

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

Pay attention to how people treat you after you tell them, "No."

[Donna Brazile @donnabrazile]

Imagine if the Obama Administration failed to disclose where taxpayers money was going?

I demand to know who got our money. I haven’t received a penny while still maintaining my business. This is not #Trump’s hush money. It’s the hard working money from American taxpayers.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Trump's policing Executive Order is meaningless. Since day one he's used racially charged rhetoric all while rolling back efforts to root out racism in policing and virtually abandoning police misconduct investigations. We need real reforms. Pass the Justice in Policing Act now.

"If some lies have been told, then you have to try to retell that narrative. That's what I do." - @SpikeLeeJoint

DA 5 BLOODS's director Spike Lee breaks down his research process and why it's important to examine and question the narrative of the history of the United States.

[Gabrielle Union @itsgabrielleu]

The amount of secret settlements & HR complaints against folks like this that are made is astonishing and nothing happens. Quite the opposite, these folks are protected & promoted.

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

Protect your mental health. Put the brakes on emotional labor.

You don’t have to try to be everything to everyone.

[Gabrielle Union @itsgabrielleu]

And this from the person in charge of diversity and inclusion efforts!? 👀 This is SO common. So damn common. How many careers and lives must be affected before these folks are shown the door?

[FilmFatale_NYC 🇭🇹 🇩🇴 🇺🇸 @FilmFatale_NYC]

Almost done with #Da5Bloods and Spike is asking some interesting questions about Black patriotism and what does it mean when the blood of other people of color is spilled for honor and duty for a country that doesn’t love us back. #nfotd

[Matthew A. Cherry @MatthewACherry]

This cop really tried it. Inflicted trauma on this young girl just to try and prove that she wasn’t a stereotype and ended up proving it anyway.
