Examples? 1. The Blk boy in Twilight. Why did he have to be the one to almost run Bella over? 2. The Blk girl who sneezes coffee all over the windshield while 3 other non-Blk women look on. Why her?
And 3. This new movie on Netflix called You Hurt My Feelings. They spend most of the movie disparaging the briefly shown blk editor. Why? It’s such a turn off, such passive aggressive, slide right on by but still in ya face racism. Believe it or not, this ish reinforces stereotypes and is harmful.
And to the woman in that Netflix movie, yes, girl, yes, your booked probably really sucked and he loved you too much to shatter your hopes & dreams. Your editor needs a new client.
