We need my perspective.
Okay.
now we've hit a different level of this so now i'm making sure that whoever i work with can help me present my perspective now i have to make sure that whatever we're doing on the show makes sense and if it doesn't make sense i have to make sure that i say something but whenever you're dealing in a creative space and it's a collaborative effort
It is sometimes hard to get your voice heard even though you're trying to present your own perspective.
And so that was the part that was always hard and that's the part that's always hard because I am trying to get people that don't look like me to understand information that they wanna hear about.
But when you're doing anything as a black person regardless of where you live in the world other than in one of the 54 countries on the continent of Africa you are going through the lens of someone else.
And so that's why you have situations like what happened at the BAFTAs.
Well, apparently how it was presented on the social medias is that Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage and a gentleman who has Tourette's said the N-word while they were on stage.
And there is a two-hour tape delay of the BAFTAs.
And so someone did an acceptance speech and they mentioned Palestine and they were able to cut that out.
But BBC One decided not to cut out a racial slur being yelled at, at two fine actors from a critically acclaimed award-winning movie.
And so I just saw Jeannie Asher on Instagram today and she said people were calling her ableist for talking about the situation.
We're not, the issue is that the BBC did not find the need
to cut that out of the broadcast.
And everyone's talking about Tourette's.
Tourette's is not the issue.
It is the BBC not cutting it out of the broadcast.
And then Deadline Today said that Warner Brothers said to the BBC, this should be cut out.
And they're like, oh, we'll handle it.
Don't worry, love, we've got it.
