so when we first heard of eva langoria’s whack ass idea #BrownRibbonCampaign, asking oscar goers to wear brown ribbons to show support and shine light on the lack of latino representation in hollywood, we thought she would be the dope of the day. turns out that this jose antonio vargas would steal that prize in the 11th hour by tweeting this bullshit.
seriously!? this dude expects black people to do all of the heavy lifting while he just lifts his phone to tweet some whack shit? yo, eva and jose, were y'all mad last year about the lack of latino representation at the oscars? or were y'all just waiting for black people to do the work so that y'all slip in and say “mira! us too tho! say something!” mind you, you are not directing that question to the oscars or hollywood but to black people!
boricua jesus, take the wheel, please! LMAO
yes, hollywood continues to fail to see us in all of our glory and magic but we cannot allow white supremacy to CONTINUE to scare and trick us into directing our frustrations to black people, a community who is always courageously leading revolutions that we DIRECTLY benefit from.
ribbons won’t free us and tweeting bullshit expectations that others do our work will mos def not provide us freedom
