Because Spike, Denzel, Tyler Perry or Oprah made 0 attempt to. Let's start there. The black community was too busy laughing at her demise instead of lifting her up. A good joke about her made more money than a kind encouraging word. We didnt help her straighten her crown we kicked it out of her reach. Lets start there.

Why on earth would a multimillionaire ever smoke crack when she could buy (and end up, as implied in the documentary, spending a vast amount of her fortune on) the finest cocaine?

How was anything in this article misogynistic? 

That Whitney was bi and in a relationship with Robyn Crawford at some point shouldn’t even be a question any longer. Bobby Brown has said it. Her mother hinted at it (disapprovingly) in her interview with Oprah. It’s clearly part of what bothers her brother. And was never even much of a secret from the start.

Not really. Crack is just a much faster high. It both comes quicker and lasts less long.

Whataboutism at its finest.

I once saw Scarlett Johanssen throw a bunch of fast food garbage out of her car on an L.A. freeway.

Re-teaming with her Ghost in the Shell director Rupert Sanders, Johansson is set to star in a feature called Rub & Tug,

Yes. Pointing to how “things have always been done” doesn’t mean they were the right thing to do morally or-since that’s what really matters in Hollywood-financially.

I think most trans people would be more or less OK with at the very minimum, this role being played by a cis man. Having a woman play the role of a trans man perpetuates the notion that trans men are just women playing pretend. Just look at the copy: “assumed the identity of a man,” as if she’s Superman assuming the…

Uh. I think people would FLOCK to the movie if they cast a trans actor. You clearly underestimate the buying power of the LGBTQIA community.

I support you and all you endeavor 

So, that essentially creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. Productions won’t hire minority actors because pretty much all of them aren’t A-list. Minority actors can’t become A-list because A-list productions won’t hire them. Rinse and repeat.

Eddie Redmayne got a LOT of criticism for that movie.

Yeah,yeah,yeah but Ghost in the Shell bombed so while your argument might explain why this is sometimes done it doesn’t explain why Johansson and Sanders are being given more money to burn by miscasting a lead role...again.

Is it because she’s a bad actress so feels she has to take any role offered to her?

At this point, it’s hard to like Scarlett or Emma Stone, who played an Asian woman. How can these two not understand the backlash? This seems like such a no brainer. Then again, if you don’t have a brain...

I believe she’s a producer of the film also.

Wasn’t Scarlett one of the main organizers for Time’s Up but didn’t have much to say about Woody Allen? Tone deaf seems to be par for the course with her.

Now that Black Widow is getting her own movie, I wondered if Scarlett would perhaps feel some sort of remorse or guilt for the GotS debacle. But I see she chose the lean in route instead.
