Bro the thing that is really annoyin' about you is you write these paragraphs but you don't have the thread topic in mind at all.

No bein' a rapper or singer or actor doesn't mean you automatically mean you don't kno' what you're talkin' about. But this particular actress on this particular occasion said something very stupid and was called out for it.

Jesus christ fam it's not hard at all.

Well thank you telling me what's annoying. It can easily be skipped over and ignored, yet here we are.

And maybe I was responding to another post? Did you read what I was replying to?

You just like to keep things simple. People like you stay in a box.
Critical thinking, drawing parallels an pointing out inconsistencies is what I do. Everything to me is bigger than what i think you know and deeper than the surface. You should try it. It can make good conversation.

Lmaooooo bruh no that's not what you do. You obfuscate, equivocate and ask dumb questions

You still don't get it and that why you stay lost.

Bruh your entire point is that we should question things like this a wide scale vaccine that is rolled out quickly. Nobody has issue with that but you think they do. The issue we are having is the misinformation that our people believe easily despite it not making any sense. The Bible don’t cure diseases. And you feel being critical of her for this is a bad thing.

If it any deeper than that please explain. But you won’t because communication is hard when you want to be right without using facts.

Well unlike most.....Just because he's a rapper dint mean he doesn't know or gave ideas of what is.
I will listen to anyone.
Then I'll do my own research on said topic because maybe my beliefs are wrong.

It's really not as serious as people make it.

Don't people here always say two things can be right?

And as black people....Writing people off is crazy to me.
We are always written off as stupid or not knowing enough or can't possibly know.

We need to support each other even when wrong.
Back her up with "well that's her opinion." Versus the shit she's getting.

I'm just not as a black man going to overlook what a person knows because of what they do to feed they family.

Niggas forget how the world sees us real fast when we think we know more than the next person.

Now see that's where I disagree. I ain't supporting somebody blatantly saying something wrong or spreading misinformation that can harm people just because they're black. I ain't saying write a person off but at the same time this idea that you can't tell another Black person they're wrong in public just because they're Black helps nobody in the long run. Especially somebody with a large platform to spread such information
 
It’s like picking and choosing what to call out. If she made a post about twerking I’m sure dos would be in a rage. But tweeting something misleading that can be harmful just needs to be understood

is it not up to the individual to do their due diligence?

and i also said just because shes an actress dont means shes wrong.....not saying in this case but speaking on people speaking about their beliefs.

So some of y’all saying the virus ain’t bad enough for you to get the vaccine?

bruh, it couldnt have been tested right.

you dont rush thru a vaccine.

its reasons why these things take time.

if anything you should understand being between a virus and untested vaccine, not know which could kill you and which could have minimal effects.

not everyone dies from covid like everyone wont die from the vaccine.

its a hard decision that should not be taken lightly.
 
shit some people dont even drink milk on the expiration date because they dont want that shit inside they body.

but people questioning a vaccine is far fetched?

cmon yall

You cant just flippantly say "not everyone dies from Covid" because people who have survived it are still reporting long term effects they're still dealing with after beating covid that are also life altering. As for it not being tested right you have a poster in here who can directly attest to one version of the vaccine being tested right. These types of discussions need facts not just what you feel.or think may have happened.

“Black Panther” star Letitia Wright, who plays tech genius (and T’Challa’s sister) Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had fans upset on Thursday night after she shared an antivaxxer video on Twitter and then began tweeting in apparent support of the position.

We’ve embedded some of those tweets as screenshots below. See them on Twitter here, and here.

1cf70b501bcc21d2858b3b23921c9234


08d656bbfb96e5d2fef58e6865f52f6a


08d656bbfb96e5d2fef58e6865f52f6a



For those who don’t know, “Antivaxxer” is a portmanteau describing people who adhere to a broad range of unfounded conspiracy theories about vaccinations (anti-vaccine). The movement, which grew primarily thanks to a thoroughly debunked scientific fraud that falsely asserted vaccination played a role in autism and also incorporates other false claims, has gained widespread support over the last 20 years with extremely dangerous consequences.


For instance, the return of deadly diseases previously believed to be largely eliminated has been directly linked to a rise in antivaxxer adherents, including multiple outbreaks of measles, tetanus, and even polio. In fact, there was a 30% increase in measles worldwide in 2019, which health experts directly attribute to growing opposition to vaccines.


In short, the growing popularity of anti-vaccination conspiracy theories is literally killing people. Which probably explains why so many of Wright’s fans took issue when she shared a video attempting to discourage people from taking COVID-19 vaccines, and then continued to defend the position in disagreements about it with her followers.

Wright’s initial tweet was quickly ratio’d — i.e., when replies to a tweet vastly outnumber likes or retweets, almost always an indicator the majority of people object to what was said — as people flocked to essentially beg her to recant. Many pointed out that the video she shared also included transphobic and climate denialist content. Other simply pointed out the irresponsibility of encouraging people not to get vaccinated in the middle of a plague. And activist and author Mikki Kendall explained in a lengthy thread her views on the dangers of conspiracy theories and the people who peddle them, which we’ve embedded in full below.



But a great many just expressed their disappointment through jokes and mockery.

Wright frequently responded to people, but curiously she also occasionally liked tweets calling for her to be fired or for “Black Panther 2” to be canceled.

Representatives for Marvel and Wright didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from TheWrap. Wright’s Marvel Cinematic Universe coworker Don Cheadle initially quote tweeted her saying “Bye Letitia,” a pun on the phrase “Bye, Felicia” usually used to dismiss unpleasant people. However in a series of follow up tweets Cheadle insisted he meant no ill will and considers Wright “my lil sis.”

Why is Shuri trying to kill her career lol

All right. This is the stock answer for celebrities who don’t care about the harm and misinformation theyre spreading. Lost cause. https://t.co/mU3foUBFEk

i thought Shuri was the smartest character in the MCU ? https://t.co/7dkAGCEsic

shuri originally cured bucky with essential oils but marvel removed that scene

— Desus Nice (@desusnice) December 4, 2020

if you told me. that in 2020. SHURI would be arguing under my tweet that a pandemic vaccine is demonic.

The fact that someone who plays a scientist/doctor in one of the highest grossing films of all time is an anti-vaxxer is camp!! https://t.co/NWfGSgzdsU

There's a lot of profit in conspiracy theories which is one of the reasons so many con artists use them. They're dangerous precisely because they rely on twisting an ugly history. Virologists and epidemiologists are generally outside the public eye so they don't build trust well

— ❄Mikki Kendall❄ (@Karnythia) December 4, 2020

But (and this is the thing that matters) while racial bias has obviously not been eradicated, much better laws and protective guidelines are in place now than at any point in human history. And the Modern vaccine has a great success rate https://t.co/a4pmGAJn7Z

— ❄Mikki Kendall❄ (@Karnythia) December 4, 2020

And listen, pharma companies have only themselves to blame for a lot of what we're seeing now. There's a great piece about this from last year that is focused on anti vaxxers in general but it applies now too https://t.co/QDaB9Mfy41

When the person who wrote that was proven to be a fraud and had his medical license revoked because he was paid by a lawyer to write the initial false study.
