That's some brainwashing for yo' azz right there. Ppl ain't trying to hear this. Even if you put it right in front of their face. It's retarded to me to be so attracted to a shiny rock to begin with.

It's absolutely pathetic. Anyone who spends legitimate money on a diamond ring is either brainwashed or bowing down to peer pressure. Just a stupid waste of money that can be used in so many better ways.

Didn't some praise her for passing on The Woman King?


But she'll take money from DeBeers, a company built on exploiting Black Africans for over 100 years?

I find it interesting that Lupita couched her appointment as global ambassador for the De Beers company as a win for women and girls.

That’s interesting when you consider how many black women and girls were economically exploited, disenfranchised, disengaged and violated by this company.

It's literally insane. And how are women and girls helped by this?

I’m truly baffled by this decision. The money couldn’t have been THAT good

She aint got no real black people in her circle so it aint like she is going to face any backlash in real life.

And we're supposed to believe she didn't fukk Harvey Weinstein?

Another member of our entertainer class exposed her mercenary mindset and tried to cover it with some BS pro-Black female statement. It is almost like a lot of them do not understand that actions are louder than words.

This is the same kind of mindset that Hilary Clinton and Nury Martinez have.

Does she know??

I mean she has to know, right?

DeBoers.

Lupita ain't African she's Mexican.

 

[African Peasant]

Beyond all the horrible things they do to their workers and the social unrest it creates, it's also a tremendous fraud on the public. Diamonds weren't even that popular or considered necessary for an engagement ring until DeBeers started their advertizing propaganda, and they're not even that rare except DeBeers keeps millions of diamonds stored away to artificially reduce the market.

POWER of propaganda.

It works.

Still smashing.

She aint got no real black people in her circle so it aint like she is going to face any backlash in real life.

But she doesn't have much of a career and what she does have depends on being hired by Black directors so if she goes off the reservation and Black people find out then it'll be quiet for her.

Also she doesn't have Zendaya or Zoe Saldana's skin tone so she needs the community to support her because cacs don't want to put her in their productions.

Another black mascot....not sure how to feel

This is the new corporate playbook. Use the language of civil rights to launder their nefarious behavior.

Then dumb fukk girlboss feminists will look at something like this and consider it a W for feminism. The reality is most of these people don't believe in anything. They just want more women CEOs and in posistions of power to do the same foul shyt men have been doing for hundreds of years. That's the end goal, not real actual meaningful social change.
