🗣 DIVERSITY IS NOT SAMENESS.

There are so many bad ass Africans throughout history, as noted in the tweets. What I wouldn’t give to see a historical drama about Mansa Musa, shit would be dope AF

It’s rather ironic that she wants society to focus more on actual stories about or inspired by actual black people while she keeps blaming white people for Atlantic slavery. Even though it was already going on in Africa when Europeans came along, they just exploited it. 

I wonder what she would say if someone asked her about Barbary Slavers, who captured white people straight from the tap, so to speak. 

And…is that an example from Hamilton? A play created by a Hispanic man? One of the Wokest men on Broadway?

I guess he’s technically white, but it seems to me she’s ignoring how minorities also racebend, and how people often claim racebending is necessary in the name of diversity and representation, not just shallow aesthetics. I, of course, disagree.
