they really do view black americans self advocacy as hogging the global spotlight. That’s what all the rage & contempt is about. They think our voices drown out their cause & get them overlooked. They think we have had enough attention and it’s someone else’s turn.

Florence Pugh says "I’m not standing for bullsh*t behavior" on set anymore: "Show up on time, don’t be rude, don’t be a misogynist."
“Every time I work on a movie, I get more confident in the way that I can protect myself and the way that I can lead a film set, and just not stand for bullsh*t anymore. I’m not doing it. I’m not standing for bullsh*t behavior. I’m not standing for bullsh*t attitude. I’m not allowing for people to be rude to the crew. You just get bolder and bigger and more confident with time, and you want to be around and work with the right people. And the moment someone is making that vibe feel off, everybody feels it. I don’t want to deal with messy. It’s just about surrounding yourself with professionals who have the same way of working in mind: Show up on time, don’t be rude, don’t be a misogynist." (via Elle)

truth is a lot of straight women aren't seeking "support and solidarity dealing with misogyny" they want constant reassurance and affirmation from other women that their pitiful ruminations are THE definitive inescapable experiences of womanhood & do NOT want to be told otherwise

Only Toni Morrison was not exactly starting over when she was 39. She had been writing The Bluest Eye since she was 34. And by then she was an editor in a prestigious publishing company, and also she had a hell of an education, an adventurous youth. The story needs more nuance.

Hating the Blacks is the only thing they have left, beyond that they have nothing. Sad present and an even sadder future for the Browns.

It was also disheartening seeing how quickly you all joined together in trying to place the blame on Black Americans with no proof

Not for Black Americans. Foreigners were waiting on the killer to be a Black American so you could have some original content & sound like the White Man. Now he’s another immigrant…it’s silence
