yeah this is like...how many times now that we're having to deal with this? because honestly every time this happens it's an injury to the psyche of black people as a whole (i feel like it happens mostly with black women though). it honestly feels like stochastic terrorism at this point, you get scared being in certain spaces because you don't know if people will flip on you just for being there.

and poor amandla is barely 25 (i think it's her birthday soon too) and she's had to experience this TWICE.

no one has ever been more right and it’s about time someone said it so plainly. fuck disney from here to forever.

She's completely right. All they care about is money. They want to reap the benefits of diverse casting, but don't want to deal with the consequences and they're going "back to basics" at the first sign of trouble.

Good for her!
Fuck Disney! And fuck Star War fans!
