American Latinos are NO WHERE as included as the African American community is in film/tv.

“I get so petrified in this space talking about equal pay. Especially when you look at the intersectional aspect of it. Where white women get paid more than black women. Black women get paid more than Asian women. And Asian women get paid more than Latina women.”

The stats aren’t necessarily wrong, but she is wrong for applying them to an industry which hasn’t been measured. Statistics 101: You cannot generalize a sample to the population.

No one is ignoring or even saying she’s wrong about the under-representation of Latinxs in the entertainment industry. What people are objecting to, is her tendency to step on Black people on her way to that point, (including the Afro-Latinas she erases and excludes) all the while ignoring the white people who control…

There is a disparity, sure, but it doesn’t apply to the entertainment industry, because there are too many variables that determine an actor’s pay, and acting work isn’t stable enough across the board to allow for an accurate measurement. Also, that statistic doesn’t account for women who identify as both Latinx and a…

I wish you could’ve seen the massive side eye I gave my phone when I saw that picture. My eyes are still stuck.

That’s how you know someone is white or white-adjacent--when they refer to skin like Longoria’s as “dark.” She is “dark” the way Cher described herself as “dark.” Longoria is nowhere near dark for a Mexican woman. 

Fuck this bitch. She knows damn well her dad is not “dark” and doesn’t identify as Afro-Latino. So full of shit.

Gina should not be out here trying to out do Salma Hayek in the “Black Women Need To Heel” department

Others have done a much better job calling out her messiness than I could, I’ll just mention this: When I saw her in the first promos for MS Bala, I saw America Chavez - Marvel’s MS America. The character is queer, Latina, and one of the most powerful, interesting candidates for the Avengers which will need to be…

I think the fame gets to them. They believe they CANNOT be wrong. See: Kevin Hart. I belive we common people call this going full “Killer Mike”. 

The Thin Blue Line Act essentially makes police officers a protected class—similar to minorities, LGBTQ people or women.

I saw Alexandria Shipp in Drumline 2 and Straight Outta Compton. I’ve only seen KiKi Layne in Beale Street. Give it to KiKi, she is a better actress than Shipp could ever hope to be. Maybe that’s why she’s on twitter talking loud. She knows that Kiki is a better actress and it’s not even close.  

It’s actually likely they will get away with it. Surnames typically aren’t protected under trademark law unless they become completely distinctive in their particular field (think McDonald’s). But if Fenty is mostly known as a beauty brand, then Fenty Entertainment would not be covered because it’s actually his last…

YUP. VincentPrice is Negrodamus, I’m convinced.

ROTFL!!! Didn’t someone on the Black-ish colorism article anticipate Shipp was going show her foolishness on this subject again?

omg thank you! I heard that too, now I’ve unfortunately overcompensated and folks on both side are like “why are you so aggressive/quick tempered I’m like REALLY! lol  

My own mom has made reference to my color (calls it teasing). That’s why I don’t see any hope in this ever being resolved. Too many people are emotionally involved (and yes, anger counts) to fix this mess.

hm, had given up on Black-ish a while ago because of their tendency - to my thinking - of presenting topics important to us in ways that were digestible to white folks. I’ve had enough of that! However i’ll tune is because Salli Richardson-Whitfield is directing. I’ve always felt she was a ‘woke’ light-skinned sistah…

Saji’s blackest experience includes Bishop Don “Magic” Juan officiating at Dre and Bow’s vow renewal ceremony during the first season. Yes, in that moment, blackness was seen, and that’s ultimately what Saji wants.
