Psycho Feminist Is Ticked At Weinstein For Not Sexually Assaulting More Black Women

This is Bim Adewunmi. She writes for Buzzfeed:

Bim is mad that Weinstein mostly sexually assaulted white women.

I sh*t you not, folks.

The elephant? He sexually assaulted white women. It’s really messed up and racist that Weinstein wasn’t an equal opportunity sexual assaulter.

Women Of Color deserve to be sexually assaulted too!

WAIT! HOLD UP. HUH?!

Here she goes…

The elephant in the room in discussions about the alleged crimes and misdemeanors of Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein looks eerily similar to an elephant of the past. It is the Race elephant. And among the allegations, the question of race is one that we are not really looking to engage with, because it is knotty and gnarly. But it bears talking about, because there are black women in Hollywood, and not talking about it does us all a disservice.

 

In Hollywood, where both racism and sexism are rampant, what can look like a sort of mitigated blessing ends up highlighting another insidious problem in (the societal microcosm that is) Hollywood: Black women do not often come up for the kind of prestigious high-profile and award-winning roles that a producer with Weinstein’s power could offer.

 

If we are to discern a general message about black women (and other women of color) from the product churned out by Hollywood, it is that they are not seen as leading role material, and that is intertwined with the idea that they are not desirable “trophies.”

It’s the RACE ELEPHANT!

Ah, but of course!

Imagine for a moment, being the kind of person who looks at a line up of over 50 sexual assault victims and says. HMM. There’s not enough black victims. Harvey isn’t giving black women the OPPORTUNITY to be sexually assaulted by him.

What do you suggest, BimBim? A quota?

Affirmative Action Rape?

You tell me hun, how should we rectify this injustice?

She’s really serious about this.

A cursory glance of both companies’ slates suggests fewer than 10 films starring black women or other women of color, Jackie Brown (1997), Frida (2002), Bride and Prejudice (2004), and Southside With You (2016) being the most recognizable. Black women weren’t even making it into Weinstein’s predatory thought process except, probably, to be expressly excluded. The next time you ponder the relative lack of black women on your screens, consider that the casting process starts long before the casting call goes out and can be debated, even when talent alone should have secured the role, taking in factors like the preference of a producer’s sexual desires.

How dare this pervert not have a “predatory thought process” about black women. How. Dare. He.
