Hollywood has been doing a slow shuffle away from a commitment to equitable workspaces way before the last election.
And as far as breaking promises to the marginalized…?
Were talking about America.
Rolling back civil rights is in our DNA.
The gains in school integration from Brown v. Board of Education peaked waaaaay back in 1988.
Schools are as segregated now as they were in the 1960s.
Those failings were, of course, on the federal level.
Except isnt capitulation the same as favoritism?
Or do they really look at the calls for hope and calls for hate as being the same?
But, again, as somebody who loves history, none of this is surprising to me.
So this post here, though Ive referenced the past, isnt about whats already happened.
Its alsonotabout the present, even though all of us are trying to endure the moment.
This is a missive for the future.
You want to be there for us, be there.
It is a commitment to stand and fight irrespective of the consequences causethe fight isright.
You know, like in the movies.
Except … for real.
