Eva Longoria appeared on MSNBC and found time to undermine black women and their role in securing the Biden/Harris presidency.

Eva Longoria to @AriMelber on the impact of Latina women: “That spirit and perseverance that Latinas use in their daily life, the struggle to pay their bills and the struggle to show up to their jobs … that’s the same perseverance and spirit they used to show up to the polls,” pic.twitter.com/BiATbXbaeG

Full Quote:

“The women of color showed up in big ways. Of course you saw in Georgia what black women have done but the Latina women were the real heroines here... beating men in turnout in every state and voting for Biden/Harris at an average rate close to 3 to 1 and that wasn’t surprising to us...”



for her to say racist and dismissive things like these without a second thought and for what? to diminish Black women and center herself? the antiblackness is so deeply engrained. https://t.co/ZXpZ8MZmnf

Eva Longoria can try to downplay the significance of black women securing the presidency for Democrats all she wants, but she hasn't been relevant since Desperate Housewives. So. Let's not look to her for any political insight or analysis. Gone, girl.

Eva Longoria just embodied one of the many barriers in the way of WOC unity - the desire to bring attention away from and size up the efforts of Black women. A core of antiblackness is the sense that Black women are underserving - even a little attention, is "too much."
