It's extremely telling that they choose to do this, that they take her (groundbreaking and heartbreaking) depiction of a real life victim of enslavement, physical and sexual abuse, and shove it up as "oh you're telling me THIS is a beautiful woman?"

Not any of her beautiful modelling photos, not any other role she's been in. But one where she's being whipped.

What they're telling us is "this is all you deserve to play. This is what you get to be seen as. You being a slave, you being abused, is what's "accurate" for a Black woman. You don't get to be seen as valuable. You don't get to be beautiful, and certainly not the most beautiful woman in the world, not in MY world."

As if we haven't been on this planet the whole time, in every sort of role there is. As if the only thing that has ever been relevant about us is our abuse, that that is the imagery that defines us. And these people will swear that "they're not racist, it's just-", and get mad when you look their racism right in the eyeballs.

EVERYONE.
