The actress said she agreed with the director and went on to describe “residual effects” of systemic racism in both a governmental and societal capacity. She mentioned that Gone With the Wind star Hattie McDaniel was unable to sit with her white co-stars when she became the first Black person to win an Oscar at the 1940 ceremony, and Deadwyler added that it should be widely understood that racism has a “lingering effect on the spaces and the institutions” in today’s society.

“We’re talking about people who perhaps chose not to see the film,”the Station Eleven alum said about Till. “We’re talking about misogynoir. It comes in all kinds of ways. Whether it’s direct or indirect, it impacts who we are.”



LOL @ people so desperate they must resort to shaming to attract an audience for their flicks.

Bringing up something that happened in 1940 to make a point about today...

But it's fine, I'm not interested in watching a movie from people with that kind of attitude. I'm sure Allaby enjoyed it, though...

I've seen four of her films and enjoyed them all.

Who issued the ban?

Very racist towards blacks!

reply

There are thousands of actors out there and she doesn’t stand out.

How the hell is anyone supposed to know who she is?

I thought she was the cringy “Yas, yas” bald chick from the Acolyte for a second but apparently not.
