Jayme Lawson, co-star of Sinners alongside Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, spoke @hollywoodreporter at the NAACP Image Awards following the racist slur incident that occurred during the BAFTAs ceremony.

Lawson addressed the situation with clarity and composure.

In her words:

“That man’s disability got exploited that night.”

“That’s not inclusivity. That’s exploitation.”

“You censored one Black man and failed to protect two others.”

Jayme Lawson criticised the handling of the moment by both BAFTAs and the BBC broadcast, arguing that proper care and protection were not exercised for the Black actors involved.

In an Unprecedented First, NAACP Calls for President Trump to be Removed from Office under 25th Amendment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON  — The NAACP demands urgent action to invoke the 25th Amendment in response to alarming signs of President Trump's deteriorating health and increasingly delusional behavior. This is the first time the NAACP has ever called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. The rhetoric and actions emanating from the highest office in the land has reached a level of instability that poses a direct threat to the well-being of millions of Americans and the integrity of our armed forces. 

In recent weeks, the president's erratic statements and actions have raised grave concerns about his ability to fulfill the duties of his office. This is not merely a matter of political disagreement; it is a matter of national security, global stability, and the very fabric of our democracy. 

"This president is unfit, unwell, and unhinged," said Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP. "The rhetoric and behavior we are witnessing from Trump isn't just alarming, it's dangerous. When the person entrusted with the highest office in the land demonstrates a disregard for truth, stability, and the well-being of the American people, it's a threat to the entire nation and the world. Trump must be immediately removed from office." 

The potential for a leader unable to think clearly or act decisively jeopardizes our military readiness and undermines public trust at a time when unity and strength are paramount.

The 25th Amendment provides a critical mechanism for addressing presidential incapacity, and we cannot afford to ignore its provisions.

Over the weekend, on Easter Sunday, President Trump shared a peculiar and concerning threat on his Truth Social account which has called many to question his sanity. This is one of many recent actions that has triggered public concern.
