This whole boycott is just self-serving on Mo'nique's part.
Her ego got bruised and now she wants to scream gender and colour bias!

But isn't that always the case tho? How many of us are truly selfless and stand up to make change on issues that DON'T directly affect us or until it directly affects us? I've seen it here when it comes to trans issues. "Another tranny dead in alley doesn't affect my bottom line so...". "Should've did this or that, may be they'd still be alive."
I found myself rolling my eyes when fast food workers wanted $15 an hour. Why? Partly, because I don't flip burgers for a living. Doesn't mean their plight shouldn't be heard and that their argument isn't legitimate. Especially when you put it up against the revenue these fast food corporations make on a yearly basis. An extra 6 dollars, hourly is really a stretch?
I mean...500k for entity like Netflix to offer a NAME (and she will forever be a name, based off being one of only a handful of BLACK Oscar winners...FUCK DAT!) like Monique is ridiculous. Bottom line.

Terrible approach and SHIT husband/manager aside...
