There is dumb and then there is this...

Quote:On Monday, senior editor and “planetary evangelist” for The Planetary Society Emily Lakdawalla got herself into a Twitter mess over her suggestion that she skip the opening weekend of Black Panther.

She tweeted:



Obviously, the only solution is for Lakdawalla never to leave her home again. You never know when you being in someone’s general proximity might ruin their day, apparently.

She later deleted the Tweet. But she added:

Mental illness.

What’s wrong with this? I’m waiting until next week as well so the theatres can be filled with African-Americans who are inspired by this great movie. I don’t want to be a distraction and I’m sure other white people feel the same way. Every weekend is a weekend for white people at the movies. I think we can spare one weekend for people of color to enjoy themselves.

In my experience predominantly black movie audiences tend to shoot up the screen. I would advise staying away as well.

I agree we should go to white only movie theaters, restaurants and water fountrains. Let African Americans enjoy their own segregated safe spaces. It's called progress people. Have an open mind! We can only be equal if we are separate from one another!


/sarc

she wasn't being sarcastic?

I'm kinda waiting for all these white progressive safe space advocates to one day slowly don KKK hoods and cackle while proclaiming their secret Democrat plan for re-segregation has succeeded. It only took 60 or so years.

Do you know her personally? If not, you don't even know if she's an actual person much less if she's being genuine/serious.

Google her name. She's a real person. Russian bots aren't a real thing.

She was also dead serious. It's right up her ally politically, and she's doubled down since then.

I'm gonna be so caring to the cause, that I'm not even gonna go see the movie. That will be 1 less white person they have to deal with.

LOL, what a condescending thing to write. May as well buy time at movie theaters across the country to show reruns of "Good Times" and "Fat Albert" so that black people can feel proud and have their safe spaces too...

I think black people in general are a lot more mainstream than this, and that they want the same thing as us white people. It's a small minority of sh!theads that are making a big stink about safe spaces.

There is no other reason.

how did the quote un quote black community respond?

I dont know any black or white people that are as batshite crazy as some of these twitter posts. Twitter seems to make weirdos famous.

Well now, aren't you just a regular Jim Crow?

I went to see "Life" (Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence) on opening night in Winston-Salem... I was one of only 2 white people there.

Nobody was angry about me being there, and we all thought the movie was hilarious.

This.

I’ll Redbox it for a buck .65$. Like I do all the cartoon character movies...

Why is this one becoming a “thing”? Should Ironman V be a white only event?!?

Silly.

Well, I went to see Braveheart back when it was new, and it was hard to enjoy the movie while sensing the anti-Scots sentiment from all the people in the theater who were not of Scottish descent.
