Did people think we were talking about reparations in the abstract? People sat on the sidelines rambling about xenophobia or it being unreasonable. 🤫🤷🏿♂️ Well the next step is it comes to you personally in form of being carved out without the #ados demand. thedailybeast.com/laid-off-hbo-m…
You can’t leave the heavy work of political undergirding in a lost moment to @breakingbrown & @tonetalks while you make HBO shows or help with the NBA to give people escape. Not without consequence. When your group is deemed invisible & is largely without wealth there is a cost.
Listen to what w'ere saying in 2019. We're saying they are courting the white middle class. These people across corporate America either said nothing, or in some cases worked against the specific #ADOS demand. Now they are making the argument in isolation.

In all reality the issue isn’t 3 more executives to make shows about dating while Black in LA or occasionally green light a diversity historical doc. This has been the #decadentveil. We need wealth and inclusion. That comes through reparations & casting off entertainment covers.
This was the work and they were silent while we did the STANDING. If no one needed this case it is these executives who largely sat quiet at HBO. This standard would have allowed them much more leverage & power in negotiations.
