Mister Matt said: "Just so I can understand precisely where to correctly target my fury, we're specifically outraged that Cynthia accepted the role that was offered to her because of her heritage, which is something she cannot change or control, but NOT at the people who offered her the role. All the responsibility of the casting falls squarely on her shoulders. Okay. I just want to make sure the discrimination is super duper specific and absurdly disproportionate as we fight to end this very...

qolbinau said: "To see this blatant racism towards Cynthia Erivo in partbecause of the particular African tribe her ancestors derived from is disturbing. For a movement that should aim to break down barriers and have individuals live peacefully together, you’re doing an awful job at it. Just another case of left-wing ideologies going so extreme they are closer aligned to racist right-ring ideas than any progressive ones. Cynthia Erivo is an INDIVIDUAL PERSON. A PERSON. She should be treated a...

Bwayfan292 said: "Why do you care so much? Cynthia got a role good for her. Im happy for her. This sounds like a great movie. I dont think you truly care that cynthia got the role. I think you just want to complain about stuff to complain about stuff. The casting crew felt confident in Erivo. Be glad the Role isnt being played by a white person. You are literally complaing about a black actress being cast in a black role.You cant get upset over someone literally doing their job. Shes an actre...

Sondheimite said: "Cynthia Erivo is one letter away from an EGOT, my dude. Formally unknown British Chick is a comical way to describe her."She may be, but absolutely no one knows who she is, well, until this past weekend and when some of her other movies come out, namely Widows. She must really be good, huh? It's taken her about 2 years to do what it's taken Viola Davis about 20 plus years to do. But know this, she will never be as big a star as Viola.

I mean come on guys, you like Hamilton right? You are aware that Lin wrote it because African American and Hispanic actors had no roles written for them? So why is it hard to understand that when there are no roles in movies for African Americans and when one finally gets written after decades, and ti's given to a formally unknown British chick, you don't think they'd be a little pissed?

robskynyc said: "All I got from writergirl’s rant was a form of racism against non-DACS African Americans? like when they masc gays hate on the femme ones. I’m with you concierge and bwayfan""Ran"t? Are you sure that's the word that you want to use, robskynyc? Maybe you'd like to use a more "femme" word?

BroadwayConcierge said: "I don't think you can really be "woke" and nativist at the same time."Who says I can't? I guess you could say that I am promoting the interests of black Americans over immigrants, however, historically, the government has actually done that. Immigrants have actually gotten laws written just for them, well, except for the Civil Rights Act, which the "native" blacks as you might say got passed in the sixties. Funny thing about that, it has actually worked better for the...

Bwayfan292 said: "People like you piss me off. Its literally acting. Be glad a movie is even being made. stop trying to be “woke”.you’re not.Any questions?"I think, black women are by definition, "woke" and you would be, in the position of having to attain "wokeness", not me. So, it would probably be impossible for me to try to be what I already am?

If you go back and read what I wrote, I never mentioned anything about acting ability. I spoke about access and who has it and who is deemed worthy of getting it.And saying to me that I should just be happy that a movie is being made, that's like telling someone who was never given a birthday party until they were 20, but the cake is someone else's and you don't get to cut it or eat it.

Thank you for your response. I understand this makes you upset. Now you know how I feel.

Guys, I am one of the "internet trolls" whose has been talking about Cynthia Erivo playing Harriet. I will try to explain to you what the issue is.
