Well, because she’s a white woman. It wasn’t an assumption as much as it was reading her actual language. She, again, was making a generalization and not considering any nuance in her statement. She should’ve been clearer, but such is life. Using a point that focuses on racism to say “But what about sexism!?” is…

How are you not getting this? She pitted African American/black vs Women. There are a whole lot of people that are both. She rendered black women invisible and discrimination against them inconsequential. She is complaining about (white) women being ignored and in her complaint is erasing black women. What is worse to…

The problem is she, like many white women, failed to understand how intersections are important in these conversations. By essentially pitting women against African Americans (and not every Black person is African American but we won’t get into that), she basically left out how Hollywood treats Black women, which is…

You left out Empire, white folks’ TV equivalent of the “black friend”.

Bethany Frankel is the sort of person that anyone who has to deal with her is going to talk about her to their friends at some point.

I would pretend to not speak english if it meant I didn’t have to talk to her, tbqh.

This has totallycbecome about black people, but all the famous people complaing and being vocal have been black. It just cant be black people out front complaing. There are famous latinos out there that havent join the conversation. The problem with reverant director is that people see him as a white latino. I dont…

Exactly. if minority actors are generally not cast - and particularly not cast in lead roles - they don’t even get the chance to have the good performances that would then get them nominated... so it is a vicious circle, really.

The little respect I had for her is officially gone.

That new kid Samuel L Jackson seems to be going places.

And why is a multi-millionaire shopping in Kmart for snow boots for her children?

Based on that one Belgian exchange student that came to my high school, all Belgians can go to hell.

She could’ve looked up “snow boot” on Google translate on her phone, or just shown someone an image. But broadcasting indignation is more satisfying, I guess.

I bet the worst part of her day is when she has to press #1 for English and that the ATM has options for other languages. Can you imagine how much of a burden this puts on her? BTW, while in Mexico I frequently had the option to press #2 for English and the ATM’s there usually had English as an option...

Bethany I’m sure you can find shoes in Kmart without the help of an employee.

I dunno, I think in her case the whole any publicity is good publicity thing just isn’t true.

He calls out people left and right on Twitter. It's awesome.

Bless Talib Kweli, but he is wasting his time on someone like her. She is proud of her ignorance and racism and doesn’t deserve anyone time and attention. If she was willing to learn, maybe, but she isn’t.

Well, if being an Internet punching bag earned cash, her career at that would be full steam.

Iggy’s career has been over for a while, when will she realize that?
