FYI, @TheJTCList has a database 3000+ WOC ATL & BTL & was created Feb 2018. There can’t be too many places to find marginalized folks but please don’t dismiss the work of grassroots orgs that have been doing this work, creating databases using nothing but sweat equity & their $$$

How about owning your racism not excusing it? Your default was white even in NYC. You don’t wanna be dragged; just take accountability. It is the responsible thing to do in this time in history. Well anytime really...

@sharonwaxman @kathia_woods @TheWrap How about not tone policing Black Women? How about when you are called out not weaponizing your white tears? How about not letting white men degrade Black Women over and over... Your anti-blackness continues to show. You would think after the last time, you would know better.

So tired of performative behavior. Stop wasting my motherfucking time. Step up or step off. #BlackLivesMatter is more than police brutality ending a heartbeat of a Black person. We are hopes & dreams and fair access, fair treatment & fair pay. We are more than a damn heartbeat.

Though Sharon Waxman blocked me @TheWrap , we’re still going to breakdown the anti-blackness, weaponizing white tears and gaslighting. Let’s start with “frontal assault”, the idea that using certain language is an assault is akin to Black bodies taking up too much space. 1/?

This is why WOC don’t trust white female allies. I am sure Cate Blanchett & Charlize Theron consider themselves “woke” in many areas. But when you produce & star in vehicles that bury the racism; you are part of the problem & not the solution. & stop nominating this BS Hollywood
