This is why it’s important to SAY HER NAME OUTLOUD!!! Black women are dying and deserve justice too.

HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR AND SHE WAS MURDERED!!! LETS GET INTO IT!!!

the three murderers continue to just stay on “administrative leave” as an investigation continues underway and louisville continues to mourn and fight for justice

Gina Rodriguez is jealous, obsessed, and uncomfortable with the successes of Black women, and demonstrates a fake happy demeanor anytime Black women or their accomplishments are praised, whilst using our visibility or accomplishments as a platform to create opportunities for certain Latinas like when she proposed a Latin version of Girl’s Trip and a Latin superhero film after much talk about the record-breaking Black Panther or she diverts a conversation to be inclusive for “ALL women.” Like that time she tried to correct the interviewer below.

Go to the 2:00 mark.

The exchange probably appears to be an innocent complementary gesture by Gina towards Yara for people who are unaware of the usual overstepping sentiment of hers. Yara is indeed a great role model for young women. But correcting an interviewer so you can feel comfortable and included in a statement that solely praises the representation of a young Black woman for her fellow young Black women is fucking rude and uncalled for.

There are people of color who only care about phrases like “inclusivity” and “representation” solely when it benefits their race and/or ethnicity and they want the efforts of others—particularly Black people—to do the work for them.

Now with Gina’s recent remarks, she stated the following:

Her full statement: “I get so petrified in this space talking about equal pay, especially when you look at the intersectional aspect of it, right? Where white women get paid more than Black women, Black women get paid more than Asian women, Asian women get paid more than Latina women, and it’s like a very scary space to step into because I always feel like I fail when I speak about it because I can’t help but feel already so gracious to do what I do and I feel like, culturally, I feel like I was raised to just feel so appreciative of getting here.“

I’m not about to play no oppression Olympics over which race/ethnicity of actresses gets paid the least, but I’ma just leave this right here:

Back to the tweet by HP Latino Voices and Gina’s statement. Notice anything?

Pairing the long fought for achievements of Black people (Black women, in this case) with a “What about us Latinxs?” attitude is not only anti-Black AF, but continues to push for and perpetrate the erasure of Latinxs who are predominantly of African descent that is carried out and historically embedded in the DNA of Latin America.

BLACK LATINAS EXIST. BLACK LATINOS EXIST.

Not Black or Latinx. Black AND Latinx. Latinx is not a race, whereas Black is.

We’ve talked about this.

But when you’re Gina and do deliberate things like hosting a “Latina Power Lunch” and only invite certain shades and types of Latinas,

or longing for a colonialist superhero movie if she would pen one,

“I think it would be about Christopher Columbus coming over, the migration of the Spaniards, and the influence of the mixes [of people] in South America and in the Caribbean. That’s were my superhero movies would lay, like the 1400 or 1500s.” (Source)

how can one not suspect an agenda?…

On the same day the cast of Black Panther attended San Diego Comic Con and articles were being written left and right due to the film’s high anticipation, here goes Gina…

Carlos Valdes. Dania Ramirez. Gabriel Luna. Jessica Camacho….

Nevermind that some of that actresses listed are Black Latinas, which includes her homegirl Rosario….

Gina has even acknowledged shes afro latina (you can fully expect her to bring it up again to block criticisms) yet is so tone deaf. Fucking yikes.

I’m obsessed with celebrity interviews, and she does this…A LOT. She has a serious problem with Black women’s success.

karnythia

The real tea is that she’s mad Tracee Ellis Ross makes more than her. Meanwhile several Latinas earn more than them both, so do a whole bunch of white people.

kidkendoll

Bruh y’all remember when she came back from SDCC (one of those cons) after Black Panther hype was starting and was talking about, when will Marvel and DC have Latino characters? But Marvel and DC do have Latino characters, she just don’t see them because they’re either brown and black skinned.

Yeah, and Tessa sweetly called her out on that.

Racist white lady calls in and tells Native Hawaiian to stop blaming the white man for taking their land, especially since the Japanese are doing it too.

theblacksophisticate

This succinct READ though? COME THRU!!!

1) How did she do that? It was like magic… 2) I see so many videos like this from TV shows, and it makes me wonder why daytime television doesn’t have real and intelligent guests anymore… This is something we would NEVER find on TV in 2016.

veryfemmeandantifascist

can someone tell me who this is and where this video is from?

^^^^Found her. Her name is Haunani-Kay Trask. I watched this video earlier today and I KNEW she looked familiar to me. The sad thing is that the only reason I remember her was because my first introduction to her was on a website that listed her as a “Terrible Bigot,” simply for wanting rights given back to her native people of Hawai’i. People always saw her as an aggressor and that’s INCREDIBLY disheartening :( Here’s the full video:

ALSO. Did you know she’s a poet? Here’s one she wrote called Racist White Woman. Racist white woman I could kick Your face, puncture Both eyes. You deserve this kind Of violence. No more vicious Tongues, obscene Lies. Just a knife Slitting your tight Little heart. For all my people Under your feet For all those years Lived smug and wealthy Off our land Parasite arrogant A fist In your painted Mouth, thick With money And piety. Thanks Auntie Haunani!

You know what’s sad? 13 years of public school education in Hawai'i and I’ve had maybe a years worth of Hawaiian history. And we sure as hell didn’t learn about activists and the happenings of today.
