So about Sally Hemmings and Thomas Jefferson - as far as Holly wood is concerned, all their movies have been a piece of shit and here's why
...historians approximate Sally Hemmings was about 14-15 yrs old when Jefferson put his hands on her. Actresses cast to play Hemmings? Older
if you really wanted to be real with the casting it would more like casting Quevanzhane Wallis and Ben Affleck....
...oh right no fucking studio would greenlight a movie with them having sex on screen because it's fucking terrible.
...so please Chet Twitter, spare me your bullshit "times were different then" crap. Truth is Black girls are never seen as innocent.
...there are countless studies that show how Black girls are seen as "older" and hyper-sexualized. That includes Sally Hemmings.
...call me when we get Black women to write and direct a Sally Hemmings movie. Because trust they will keep it 100.
