Interesting
since I had it open I screen shot the time frame and everything.
Tnx for all the hotep explanations. Somehow I never noticed this word before. It sounds ancient Egyptian to me so never would've figured out the contemporary meaning.
It's kind of like being a politician... it takes a certain, arguably warped, mindset to want fame in the first place...
Cheadle is such a dumbass. "I didn't read anything but I'm just going to Wade in here and continue to dig myself further". Hope I dont see him in any more movies either.
Don's comments aren't disappointing. You know, one of the things I imagine people hate online is people telling them to throw their close friends away. You see it on r/relationships where every solution is "divorce" from people who see a fraction of what happens.
Focus on Letitia's comment, but don't expect the people who know her WAY better than any of you to drop her over her being a dumbass.
I'm sure he'll handle his personal relationship with her without the intervention of the internet.

I think you guys are reading too much into that Cheadle Tweet. It comes off as a joke if you look at the Tweet he replied to in a vacuum. Also, I'm not gonna sit behind a screen and call him a coward for not instantly dropping someone he knows way better than any of you after she makes some dumb comments.
Nothing to do with "Disney ninja snipers," it's just standard PR management.
Yeah Cheadle's take is reasonable. You can call her out on her mistakes without throwing her in the trash forever.
He doesn't have to throw her away over the internet, but he shouldnt have said anything especially if he hadn't even read what was happening. Thousands of fucking people are dying. This isn't a joke.
No one should be harassing her but what she is advocating is very dangerous. She should be stopped in any professional way possible.
His own publicist, agent, manager, and/or Disney/Marvel's PR/social/talent relations team.
I remember her on the Russell Davies UK shows, Cucumber and Banana, playing a lesbian and it was nice to see her get more roles after that. After this, umm okay nevermind. Wonder what happened? Interesting how this article mentions neither of those shows.
‘Black Panther’ Breakout Letitia Wright on How Faith Rescued Her From a “Very Dark Place”
Three years after a staggering depression nearly cut short her acting career, the 'Black Panther' breakout is weighing offers and listening for God's word on what's next.www.hollywoodreporter.com
My first intro to her was in the LGBT movie "My Brother The Devil". She's been in a few LGBT movies/shows which made me assume she was much more progressive than it turns out she is. Smh.
I think he legitimately didn't know why she Tweeted that in the first place. People were too eager to read into it as him dunking on her and he got uncomfortable with that.
Quick to crown, quick to dethrone. We all do it though; internet - especially with social media - fucks with our psychology. It's a problem that needs a solution.
Seriously. That's how I read it too. This place likes to crucify first and and critically think later though.
which guys are these, the ones that were happy to have what seemed to be a positive black woman doing well?
"crown" lmao
feel better now that you've declared how much better you are than other posters on ResetEra.com
I don't think she should immediately be removed from all movies and thrown in the trash bin. It is important people point out why the things she's saying and sharing are hurtful and dangerous and try to get her to think about her actions.
Yes. But also, she's advocating and boosting something that will - with no hyperbole - get people killed.
Between shit like this, 4/10 of America already saying they won't take a vaccine, and there needing to be two doses (after taking the first dose, people will get normal flu-like symptoms which is when anti-vaxxers will use the opportunity to scare most people from taking a second dose, meaning strains of COVID can build an immunity to the vaccine)....
I don't think we'll ever have a "post-COVID" world.
And as someone who works in PR, clients aren't that fast or apt to give a shit.
The "Disney got to him" shit is hilariously selective. Disney PR forced Don Cheadle, an established and award-winning actor, to take down a harmless tweet within minutes (!) but is also powerless against weeks of transphobic MAGA boosting from relative nobody Gina Carano? Lol
That's fair. If she really wants to double down on these views then I agree she has no place being given a platform from the likes of Disney.
Here comes this goofy shit.
"I always knew she wasn't shit."
"Shuri was a dumb character anyway."
Ah well if he's saying "yeah I'll seriously step to her if it's off once I read it" then yeah I understand.
But he's gotta read what she said first. That shit is wild.
Yeah it alludes to the conspiracy theory about ancient Egyptians actually being black.
I think Shuri is a fun character. Never was big on her being Black Panter or even IronHeart like some wanted. No one should be surprised when people ain't shit.
