Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg says the media is guilty of ignoring and disparaging black females.
The 16-year-old, who has been outspoken on the issues of race and cultural appropriation recently, took to her Instagram page Sunday to discuss her perceived cultural double standard, which she says plagues black women, and asks the question: “Do female black lives matter too?
The post came hours after Stenberg slammed model Kylie Jenner online for wearing a cornrow hairstyle as a fashion statement, saying Jenner should use her star power to help black Americans.
“The stigma surrounding it are embedded in American infrastructure and psyche as evidenced by the ways black women are sexually assaulted and treated by police – an act that goes frequently and reported by the media. When the media is not ignoring black women altogether, they are disparaging them,” Stenberg’s post reads.
The media reports all the injustice against black women, but then the media is ignoring and disparaging them.
How has Amandla been ignored? Let’s check the Wiki:
At the age of four, Stenberg started doing catalog modeling shoots for Disney. She has appeared in commercials[6] for clients such as Boeing.[7]
In 2011, Stenberg appeared in her first feature film Colombiana, as a younger version of Zoe Saldana’s character.[8] Stenberg’s career breakthrough came when she was cast as Rue in the 2012 film The Hunger Games, based on Suzanne Collins’s young adult book of the same name.
You remember the Hunger Games? That’s when the media and twitter all rushed to her aid because some jerks said a black person shouldn’t have the role.
Yes, she is truly a victim in today’s world.
As for all this appropriation shit, I don’t want to see black women straightening their hair anymore. If their hair isn’t like that naturally, it’s a white woman thing. They all have to leave sports too, they didn’t invent basketball or football or any of that. Matter of fact, get out of the business and entertainment world too. You didn’t invent any of that.
Matter of fact, just get the fuck out altogether, you fucking whiner.
She should also know all about being oppressed from her white, Danish dad. Those evil Danes!
