For y'all niggas that thought Mo'Nique was delusional, here's TEA: she's not!

She recently was keynote speaker at Women in the World Salon in LA

. During a talk for the Women in the World Salon event in Los Angeles, Davis spoke to journalist Tina Brown about being underpaid throughout her 30-year career, compared to her white contemporaries. ?I have a career that?s probably comparable to Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Sigourney Weaver,? she said, according to Entertainment Weekly.

?They all came out of Yale, they came out of Julliard, they came out of NYU. They had the same path as me, and yet I am nowhere near them. Not as far as money, not as far as job opportunities, nowhere close to it.? Davis herself is a graduate of Julliard.

Davis? struggle is similar to that of black women in all industries. White women make about 79 cents to the man?s dollar. Black women on the other hand only make 63 cents. ?People say, ?You?re a black Meryl Streep?We love you. There is no one like you,?? she explained. ?OK, then if there?s no one like me, you think I?m that, you pay me what I?m worth.?

The How To Get Away With Murder star is also frustrated with how many roles and what kind of roles she is offered compared to her white peers. ?As an artist I want to build the most complicated human being but what I get is the third girl from the left,? she said.

Davis then told Brown something that probably resonates with many women of color in this country: She?s tired of working twice as hard to prove her worth. ?It?s gotten to the point [where] I?m no longer doing that,? she said. ?I?m not hustling for my worth. I?m worthy. When I came out of my mom?s womb, I came in worthy.?

That right, it's all on you Hollywood. Time to pay up.

I can't with some people acting as if disagreeing with Mo'nique is saying that racism/oppression or favoritism in Hollywood based on color doesn't exist or something.

It's not news.

But not every instance deserves a race card to be thrown.

Nope she's still delusional.

Viola getting underpaid is apples to oranges with Mo'nique thinking she should be paid the same as Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle.

Sheeeyt.

If we on some Mo'nique teas let me MARCH on up into Human Resources, slam my fist down on their desk and say "Why I ain't makin more, HUH? It's it cuz I'm BAH-LACK? Huh? Hmm?   Answer me!  "

Let's all throw some race cards and get ourselves a bump in salaries. I'll mention slavery as well just for brownie points and to really drive my point home. And if they don't agree to my DEMANDS, I'll launch a campaign to get the company shut down. Because I know for a fact that it's because I'm BAH-LACK. Das all it is! Sheyt!

I don't care if other Black people in the company are employed by this company and are trying to feed their families and feel as if they're being treated fairly. Yeah they're making loads of money but I deserve MORE. And until I get it, shit getting shut DOWN. Now who's with me? If you ain't with me, you're a coon btw.

Statistically. There is a huge wage gap between Black and Whites.


If everyone got on board with this, something could change brother

  it's really sad when people resort to that because someone disagrees with her going specifically at Netflix
and pulling the race and sexist card.

We know HOLLYWOOD is trash and racist overall  thats what VIOLA is talking about. Not targeting a specific company that has
proved nothing but the opposite of all of those things. she said boycott netflix because thats the specific outlet she wanted her money to come
from, period. Notice she didn't discuss boycotting anything but them and she was, and is still wrong for that.

True

If Dave and Chris were being treated the same or even claimed they were being treated the same I'd say it's safe to conclude that there's a pattern of overt racism at Netflix and they clearly take issue with paying Blacks a decent salary.
