Ma’am using Lena Dunham as your reference for equality shows how ignorant you are. Also, how dare you put Issa Rae’s name next to that child molester. 

who is this?

“…But as a woman of color, you can’t tell me that I can’t play a woman of color because I don’t match the Crayola marker from 1975 when they drew the comic, that makes no sense.”

- Sissssss 🤦🏾‍♀️ Did you really just- ?

“…Majority of the time it’s like, oh you should give up the role in order to allow other actresses and I’m like, you guys know that if I don’t take it, there’s a girl below me and if she doesn’t take it, there’s a girl below her. If all of us banned together in a perfect world and say no, this is meant for a dark-skinned actress, the studio would say you’ve lost your damn mind and hire a younger, light skinned actress.

- Orrrrrrrr, the studio would see women standing in solidarity for proper representation and hire a proper woman (aka a dark skinned woman) for the role like they did with Amandla in Black Panther??

“The only way we can create social change is not by denying ourselves roles but taking the roles, changing the way that people see those roles and making them our own; saying not only am I a black woman, I’m my own black woman, I’m my own person in these socially constructed confines and I’m not going to let anyone define that for me but myself.”

- That’s exactly what needs to be done; however, you can’t play blind to colorism and it’s effects. No one, regardless of race, ethiniticy, or skin tone can or should.

She talked alllllll this shit. And I’ve never even seen her in anything but that lifetime Aaliyah trash heap. How delusional did she have to be to really talk in this article like she’s even being offered enough roles to turn them down. Can’t act her way out of the brown paper bag she’s lighter than, but had the gall to talk about how she’s not gonna turn down a role. You’d have to be OFFERED a role to turn it down.
