If she cultivates her own joy then what is she bitching about?

I tend to not like the movies that win Oscars and other awards as much as ones that the critics shite on. Seems today if you don't award the prize to some woke bullshite movie everyone goes nuts.

So essentially if others don't share her opinion of herself and her work they're racist. Here's your participation trophy you ignorant bitch. This is yet another reason racism really only moves the needle for a certain segment of black america and highly educated white females that have been brainwashed to believe they're the reparation all those black men deserve. Racism is a farce.

It’s literally the exact opposite.

ition, Danielle Deadwyle was left out of the Best Actress nominations for her portrayal of Mamie Till-Mobley, the activist looking for justice after the murder of her son Emmett Till.

“We live in a world and work in industries that are so aggressively committed to upholding whiteness and perpetuating an unabashed misogyny towards Black women,” Chukwu posted on Instagram.

She continued, “And alas. I am forever in gratitude for the greatest lesson of my life – regardless of any challenges or obstacles, I will always have the power to cultivate my own joy, and it is this joy that will continue to be one of my greatest forms of resistance.”


didn't watch and have no idea wtf the any of this means

Her first statement negates the second. Poor whiny bitch.

I straight up forgot this movie was even made.

Black trauma stories are played, anyways. No need to cinematically exhume Till just for Oscar bait.

Jamie Lee Curtis hung sick pedo art so she was finally rewarded with a nom.

This virtue signaling wasn't cool at the moment.

Get over yourself! Chinonye Chukwu,Nigerian-American film director.

Tell your Prince brother to quit calling me to deposit his inheritance!

Dear Ms Chukwu,

Maybe you addressed an important historical event, but just did not make an exceptional film.

Love,

Cognitive dissonance: she points a finger at the industry that supported her film-making — as a black woman — and simultaneously claims it “perpetuates unabashed misogyny towards Black women.”

It couldn’t possibly be that the 8,000 Academy voters found the other 12 nominated films better or more enjoyable than hers.

Should have handled this with class, giving props to the other directors & actors, giving thanks for her opportunity to tell Till’s story, but instead she sounds entitled & more concerned about her awards than the film’s message.

Who wants to see her film now? Makes me think the voters chose correctly.

Sounds like we need to put that racist Hollwood in check and make sure every award show hits their respective quotas of a certain number of minority directors/actors/actresses must be nominated. And a certain percentage of the awards must also go to the same groups. That would fix everything

Guess whitey hasn't learned the lesson: celebrate and award prizes to any piece of junk produced by a non-white. Or else!
