Does she think she's black?

9. Where did I say Larson hates white men? It seems you're the one making things up, and yet you have the audacity to accuse me of such a thing.
10. I was photographed with a black person last week (but unlike Brie I was asked to be in the photo, and didn't photo-bomb someone else's moment in order to make it ALL ABOUT ME!). And for what it's worth, I don't tend to take many pictures. I'm not a fan of the 'selfie', but oddly enough, when I do have my picture taken, it seems to be with POC more often than now, for whatever reason.

By the way, some of us Europeans are black. Get your head out of your ass and look around FFS. Just because your country has got such a major issue with black people, it doesn't mean you need to project your hang-ups.

I don't personally take umbrage with anything that you have posted. "Umbrage is a very nice word though". We have exchanged posts once before and on some days you are mellow and on some days you seem to take umbrage with quite a few things that appear to affect you personally. I have no idea what, and wouldn't take issue with you being, independently-minded and or not following a limited playbook means.

Maybe sometimes you argue a position as a "Devil's Advocate" and/or posit a position as a Straw-Man to talk about a subject or topic out of context. Such as:

Unlike a lot of people who post on social media today, I prefer open-minded and rational centrism, to narrow-minded and partisan extremism.

#3 Yes, Brie Larson doing what she is doing is not embarrassing to me and you are free to be embarrassed for someone, about someone for actions that aren't about you, towards you or with you? That makes no sense to me but okay. You've moved on to "pathetic"; and labeling someone as a privileged white liberal as a pejorative for some reason. I'm not sure how or what Brie would do to either Prove or Disprove those statements about her. She seems authentic to me. But your mileage does vary and you are quite the judgmental person to lob those bricks at Brie Larson but give passes to Liam Neeson and Jussie Smollett. Maybe that is poor form on my part but it speaks to an inconsistency in your position when it comes to alleged crimes, felonies and misdemeanors by certain people. Sometimes if feels like multiple people or personalities use your keyboard.

Your personal familiarity with White Liberals and how they may or may not act around POC isn't relevant to Brie Larson because she isn't doing anything to YOU for you to judge her actions around others without some qualified standard of measurement. If the POC with her, while she was doing this grand offense or committing this unforgiveable sin didn't take umbrage, who are you to cast aspersions on them for not being of the same independently open mind, operating with rational centrism; and you are assuming they are being narrow minded?

#4 But that wasn't your quote now was it? Here is your statement: 'I don't care what forty-year-old men have to say about film x' comment came across as unnecessarily rude. Changing one word, that one word means everything now doesn't it? Which is the point. She never said that she doesn't care what 40 year old white men have to say about Film X or some random film. She was speaking to specifically "A Wrinkle In Time" and she had a very specific reason for saying that. Context matters. Misquotes and out of context statements is what this whole brouhaha is about towards Brie Larson, now isn't it? It's not a misunderstanding it is calculated and manipulative. And you are contributing to it.

#5 Every White Liberal can not be generalized to the actions of the White Liberals that you have come into contact with. you would be guilty of painting people with a very broad brush stroke now wouldn't you? You've never met this person personally nor have you questioned any person of color who has had an interaction with Brie who has labeled her a "White Liberal" as a Fact. She's never said she is a "White Liberal" as a fact. I never knew being a "White Liberal" was a crime or that "White Liberals" commit crimes against POC, so beware.

#6 Brie's statements allegedly assailing 40 Year old White reviewers doesn't apply to you. You're not in that reference group. So why are YOU offended? Why are YOU speaking up for them? When did 40 Year Old White Men who aren't you lose the power to advocate for themselves? When did 40 Year Old White men become an endangered species? Brie never said that the opinion of said reference group didn't matter. Find me the quote from her that says that. She said that she ALSO wanted to hear from Women, Bi-Racial women, etc because she felt that their voices mattered also along with the 40 Year Old White Male reviewers. Inclusion. Inclusion. Inclusion.

#7 So you are stating that your quote was a mistake, "Care" versus "Need", and thus didn't do it intentionally. Fair enough, but your quote is still a falsehood but unintentional. I want to give you more credit and say that you are better than that, because you should know that words and facts matter. Especially with overheated rhetoric that posters put into play with these discussions.
