Last thing re: Amanda Seales because I fear we’re missing the plot. Like or her or not, she hasn’t done anything to the extreme that has warranted ppl (especially other Black ppl) and the industry to treat her the way she’s been treated.
@shaktischild When she explained that I was like ok I’m getting it. Especially when she said that she was working on not being so direct all the time and that everything doesn’t have to be said.
@hoodopulence Right that was a very human response and showed accountability. Folks are still burying their heads in the sand on that topic though
@shaktischild That’s why I was like we’re losing the plot. I’m not even sure Amanda cares too much or cares less if ppl like or dislike her, she just wants to be treated fairly and without so much vitriol.
@hoodopulence @shaktischild The autism part makes her care. I think how hurt and disappointed and unprotected she has felt is making her take a different stance on accountability in understanding that everyone won’t like you but they must respect you. And for her mental health sake that’s needed!
