this great thread:

this great thread:

Everytime I see Gina Rodriguez’s name in the news, I’m reminded about how that lingerie brand she’s a co-owner of tried to take credit for introducing multiple shades of nude into the lingerie market.

The disrespect for black women runs deep.

The AtlantaBlackStar article should be included. Speaking admirably about Christopher Columbus and colonialism as an ideal superhero film setting is problematic. Calling colonialism the “migration of Spaniards” is white-washing and PURELY anti-Black.

The fuck? That's not just Anti-Black (which is disgusting enough), that's also straight up self hate. I am so sick of Latinos who are like this and constantly kiss the asses of our colonial masters.

(Edited for clarity).

the answer is yes. She has some real issues with black people that she needs to work out.

That last one, though, I don't agree with as an example of her clearly innate anti-blackness. I really do feel like she was just trying to point out pay disparity and was likely just pointing out that latinos/latinas make less than everyone else.

She should just focus solely on talking about her own struggles instead of constantly pulling up comparisons, because it just highlights her racism.

[pikapika217]

There was no need to mention other minorities in her point tho and given her history she doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

[fromyourashes]

Yeah, I know, that's why I said what I said about it.

[numbedtoe]

I will give her that point as well cause nobody talks about that. Everything else she needs to keep her mouth shut for

Smh damnit she gets to play Carmen Sandiego :(

Yeah, she's just OK. I fought watching JTV for so long for various reasons, but finally caved because of all the praise, and then I watched it and I was not praised especially not impressed by her. I've seen her in a few other things and she is equally unimpressive. So heffa doesn't even have acting or charisma to back up this nastiness.

yes. she's a damn mess
