People Magazine
quote:

Thank you so much to FX and Fox 21 Studios for supporting me completely and paying me equally because they understood that when you put value into a person, it empowers that person to get in touch with their own inherent value,” Williams said at Sunday’s ceremony. “And then where do they put that value? They put it into her work.


As her best friend Busy Philipps cheered her on in the crowd, Williams continued to champion pay equality for women of color.
“So the next time a woman, and especially a woman of color, because she stands to make 52 cents on the dollar compared to her white male counterpart, tells you what she needs in order to do her job, listen to her, believe her,” she said. “Because one day she might stand in front of you and say thank you for allowing her to succeed because of her workplace environment and not in spite of it.”



Figured this would end up here.

What a retard.

On one hand, these morons claim business owners are "greedy", then on the other, they claim they are willing to pay much more in labor costs just to hire white guys.

Government schools have failed this country.

If true and I ran my own company, I’d just hire a bunch of minority women and pay them cents on the dollar. #profit

Just because Hollywood abuses and takes advantage of women doesn’t mean it happens everywhere.

She has made a boat load of money by pretending to be different people on film. While doing so, she was highly paid and pampered. She is a 1%'er and has the opportunity to do anything she can dream up.

Now she wants to bash the system that made her wealthy beyond her wildest childhood dreams? If she feels that things are so bad, and dirty, she should give that evil, tainted money to charity.

$0.52 on the dollar seems a little high, honestly.

Women are treated better now than any Time in history and still they complain with fabricated lies.

She dropped out of school in the 9th grade. These dancing monkeys are uneducated on an extreme level.

The odds are the person working at Circle K has a higher level of education that these actors.

I don’t listen to the political views of circle K worker.

No shite. I've already called my union rep. I'd hate to go on strike in the current climate, though. Seer sucker season is done but it's still too hot for corduroy. Is the International Brotherhood of Crackas gonna have to choke a bitch?

We shouldn't have to listen to her speeches because she didn't sleep with the right people for a job
