And I?m here for the respectability politics conversation when it has something to do with something a bit more urgent.  sorry

The Black Lives Matter movement is an example of a movement against respectability politics. The movement was motivated by the shooting and death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was killed by a neighborhood watch member. The number of subsequent police killings of unarmed black men motivated a conversation about racial stereotypes and why certain racial stereotypes came to imply black men are "dangerous". The Black Lives Matter movement argues that people are deserving of rights regardless of "any ostensibly non-respectable behavior."[16] Instead of acknowledging and shying away from negative black stereotypes, the Black Lives Matter movement works to expand the concept of what it means to be "respectable" and argue that negatively stereotyped behavior should not be met with deadly force

Not Mo?nique Tryna fatten up that bank account. I?m super excited for Sanaa Lathans new NetFlix movie though. Oh and Shonda Rhimes? new deal ... whew, i bet she?s gonna be hiring black artists left and right to some hefty ass deals. Will Mo be a part? Stay tuned lmao!

Jessica Doing that for Octavia is not helping the situation
Its only further perpetuating the inequality
Jess shouldnt have to use her white card to help oct
she coddling the industry by doing something like that eventhough its a very nice gesture
and then the question is will all white co stars do this for their black ones
should they have to?

I disagree. People have to put their privilege on the line and open in order for inequality, injustice, and racism to diminish. Not saying this is the end all be all but this is definitely a start to having conversations started.
