People ran with this as if allegations turn to facts over time, and got surprised at the backlash. Her irony at using truth in the tweet.
his death was not a good time to "believe her" that would've only been allowed to slide if he had actually been convicted of rape.

BUT YOU MARRIED A WHITE MAN...

And won’t put up pics of her father because she wanted black folks to trust her :why:

Edit: Dad is white....

still doesn’t make sense... as if people can’t look at you and see that one parent is not of African descent...

I would say that she is ashamed of her truth more than the Black community never accepting her... She hasn’t accepted her damn self.

ain't that much of a stretch :patrice:

Thandie was very racially ambiguous back in the late 90's-early 2000's (compared to now at least) :ld:

She was a casting couch victim as a teen :francis:

Her interest may have something to do with an incident at an audition in the beginning of her career, which she recounted in an interview.

A director, on a callback, had a camera shooting up my skirt and asked me to touch my t*ts and think about the guy making love to me in the scene. I thought, ‘Ok, this is a little weird,’ but there was a female casting director in the room and I’d done weird stuff before so I did it,” she recalled, without naming the filmmaker.

Years later, at a film festival, a producer told her drunkenly, “’Oh, Thandie, I’ve seen you recently!’ And he lurched away looking really shocked that he’d said that.” Her husband approached the man for some clarification. “It turns out that the director was showing that audition tape to his friends after poker games at his house. And they would all get off on it,” Newton said.
