Munroe Bergdorf: ‘Society is built on the foundations of white supremacy’
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYg8I_ClBDy/?taken-by=theshaderoom
Comments she had made weeks prior to the campaign launch, in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one dead and 34 injured, surfaced. Bergdorf had taken to social media to sound off on what she and many others see as white people’s complicity in destructive racism.
“Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes all white people,” she wrote in a post on her private Facebook page, subsequently deleted by Facebook after being reported by multiple users.
She continued:
Because most of y’all don’t even realize or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of color. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s***. Come see me when you realize that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege. Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth … then we can talk.
On Friday — nearly three weeks after she’d penned the missive and less than a week after the launch of the campaign — L’Or?al U.K.’s official Twitter issued a statement announcing the end of its partnership, citing unspecific “comments,” which many believe was a reference to the now-deleted post, the brand felt were “at odds” with its values.
She also addressed L’Or?al directly in the same post, writing this:
If you truly want equality and diversity, you need to actively work to dismantle the source of what created this discrimination and division in the first place. You cannot just simply cash in because you’ve realized there’s a hole in the market and that there is money to be made from people of color who have darker skin tones.
(https://i.imgur.com/fNPTZsx.jpg)
If L’Or?al truly wants to offer empowerment to underrepresented women, then they need to acknowledge ... why these women are underrepresented within the industry in the first place. This reason is discrimination — an action which punches down from a place of social privilege. We need to talk about why women of color were and still are discriminated against within the industry, not just see them as a source of revenue.

If he called all white people racist then that's not REALLY calling out white supremacist. That's clearly offensive and kinda dumb when u work for a fckn corporation owned by white people
Can't believe she was dumb enough to post a statement lie that on her Facebook. In any case, L'Oreal probably felt like having a trans spokesperson was more trouble than it's worth, that's the real reason they gave her the pink slip.
Well that was really fuckin stupid

She did the right thing. Not smart financially but Im sure this won't be the last stop for her. ✊🏾
This unapologetic queen :oof:
The full interview>
Sad when she mentioned her & her father were called the n-word growing up bc they grew up in a maj white area.
ppl will call this dumb n stupid
but les not forget it was 'dumb n stupid' to evn speak out 'gainst racism at all bac in tha day
but ppl did
ppl died
things changed a bit tho
if thts dumb n stupid...then im #dumbnstupid! ✊
what did she say that was so wrong and offensive? :ummwhat:
?Honestly I don?t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes all white people,?
this statement :uhh: so every white person has committed racial violence?
some people take stuff too far trying to be "radical"
This is no different than those people that go on FB and say some really dumb shit like what's said on social media is left there, and end up losing their jobs for it. People have to be fckn smarter. If ur gonna be an e-activist u have to make sure ur rhetoric isn't damaging. It can be detrimental to the message AND you. trans found that out today, i guess

If many White people themselves can acknowledge this I don't see what's taking so long for others to play catch up. :unsure:
Anyone who really listens to what kwee says in this clip instead of jumping to conclusions should be able to grab at least a morsel of the logic.
Whew she stays preaching
She recently retweeted the vid again in response to Munroe's firing:

And all trans are boosting, messy THINGS that deserved to be shot and stabbed up
point is. You can't defend the injustices of an oppressed minority group and commit the same offenses as the oppressors. Not really seeing how things will get solved or conversations had using that method
He was wrong for saying this imo
