She was fine with it until her white woke masters told her that she should be ashamed of it and so she follows their orders, not understanding that white woke lefties still have her on that plantation like Candace Owens likes to say.

She is not smart enough to understand it. She is not thinking for herself. She lets white woke people to think for her and dictate her what to say.



Also: "And while “The Help” did help elevate her career, it didn’t lead to the influx of complex roles she had hoped for

When people ask her why she went on to do six years of network TV on “How to Get Away With Murder” when she already had a thriving film career, she said, “I always ask them, What movies? What were those movies? Listen, I got ‘Widows,’ but if I just relied on the Hollywood pipeline… No, there are not those roles.”".



Its like honey - no one owes you any roles. Problem with all those actors is that they all think that they are so unique and special that "good roles" will just fall on them from all directions the moment they break through. And they would pick those they like. Not understanding that there are too many actors out there and not that many good movies for them all.
