"The Help" just became Netflix's most watched movie amid Black Lives Matter protests. Before I go bang my head into the wall, let me explain why "white saviors" movies are extremely dumb:
They criminalize the homeless so that they don’t have to house them. They criminalize drug addicts so that they don’t have to address substance abuse as a public health problem. They criminalize the poor so that they don’t have to address wealth inequality.
The temporary fence around the White House & Lafayette Square has turned into a memorial as well as a place for people to leave their protest signs. #DCProtests
Stop saying you’re colorblind or you “don’t see color.” If the only way you can acknowledge someone’s humanity is to pretend their culture and history doesn’t exist, you need to examine yourself.
Plus, I love being black.
This shit’s dope AF when the cops aren’t around.
