Monique seems like a person who does not have any business acumen or common sense. My understanding is that very successful people told her to ?play? the game and you will be rewarded. She bucked and said that she did not have to because it was unfair. Sometimes we do things are way and are way is not always right. People buy brand new suits for
Interviews on the hope of getting the job. She let a 10k trip to Cannes ruin her film career. She could have made a huge return on that investment.
You said it

she addressed this in the article. Please read it

There was never a question in your mind of, ?Let?s play the game and do the small stuff, and hopefully it leads to the big moments later on??

No, baby. Because once again, that?s the same thing Hattie McDaniel did. So, now we gon? speed up 50 years later, and we still gon? say, ?We hope they like us enough that they?ll give us a li?l something?? No. That?s unacceptable. As long as we keep having those niggas that will, we keep being paid unfairly.

Then she's in the wrong industry, everyone has to start from somewhere, sounds like she has inflated sense of self.

Do y'all not think brown girls in the industry need a voice like Mo's to stand up for them and their deserved wages. It might be self-serving but most ppl that that stand up for a cause are directly related to that cause. I think that's to be expected abs shouldn't be used as a weapon to take them down.

She had her humble beginnings in the beginning of her career. Why would it be expected for her to start at ground zero?

I totally agree with WHAT she stood for.

It's the HOW that really rubbed me the wrong way and destroyed her credibility with me.

If she's gonna be or wants to be the voice, be efficient as possible by having all of your ducks in a row. She fumbled the ball IMO. The minute she started including opinions.

There was no need to drag Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle into it, but she did it because in her mind she is their equal career-wise. In fact, she is the "most decorated comedian alive".

It's when she started getting into all that other mess where it became the "Listen BITCH I'm Monique bow the fuck down to me." as opposed to "Listen girls, let's get this money.."
Vcvvvc

Well, fro, she did fumble by speaking on numbers that she didn't have accurate info on.

But I don't think it overshadowed her point.

I look at it as MLK vs Malcolm X. Both had different approaches to the same issue which directly affected both of them. Who's to say, although ppl constantly, which approach is more sound? Racism is persisting to this day, regardless of both of their work. But it has also dissipated, in spite of their work. We need people like Mo.
