My problem with whiteness does not come from individualism. I don't sit here and I don't look at white people and I say, I don't like you because you're white. I just know they're gonna come for me and I'm gonna stop. So it's a balance. And, um, it comes from a lifelong experience in different spaces and experiencing the same fucking thing. I moved from Flint, Michigan to New York City when I was 18 years old, often off of an acceptance to a performance college for acting to study acting. And I thought to myself, you know what? I don't know much. So I'm gonna put my head down, I'm gonna try to learn things for the things that I learned. But the experience really sucked because you wanna know what, bitch? It was times where I felt so embarrassed because I am who I am for the way my vernacular, all these different things. Sometimes like people was laughing at me. And I was like, but this is me. Any spaces really carved out for it wasn't power, it wasn't insecure. It wasn't all these screen time and all these different things. It was a huge gap between we saw growing up like in the hood, higher learning. So I got out of that space and I was like, I'm gonna go into comedy. Experienced it in, I experienced it in private. Stand up. It wasn't that it was sexism and racism is not loud. Racism is quiet. It whenever somebody says that they're running in the victim Olympics. And that's why I wanna give people some time and opportunity say what they wanna say so that they can better understand where they coming from. And so basically what it sounds like and I'm not absolutely 100% true. But I'm just going based off of what she posted and what she said. What it sounds like is she hasn't achieved or gotten to the levels that she wants to get to. And because she's seen white people in those same rooms or she's seen limited opportunity for whatever reason, whether it be because that genre of movies or people didn't respond to the way that she wants to or maybe she didn't get the reception that she felt she should have got when moving from Flint to New York or people may not have even cared about her vernacular or whatever it is that she's describing now. She's basically assuming that microaggressions are not overt are now directly pointed towards her and impacting her from white people specifically. And again, that's a very unfortunate way to go through life, limiting your experiences, limiting your exposure to opportunities and people. And to get to the point where you then become a grown woman and now you're posting on social media that it's not individualistic, but you just generally don't like white people, which let me be very clear and and honest, I think that the beauty in America to be true for everybody is that you have the freedom to wanna do. You cannot like white people, you cannot like Hispanic people, or other black people. You have the freedom to do so as long as you are not illegally or removing.
