Today, a black film editor posted in a Facebook group for Hollywood editors looking to connect w/other black editors, as there is severe underrepresentation in post-production & they can be hard to find. What ensued is a slew of white editors who immediately objected (THREAD) 1.

to the post, asked for it to be taken down by moderators, and accused the poster of breaking the law, discriminating against whites, fanning “anti-white” racism against them, and insulted black editors and white editors speaking up for diversity. 2.

So here is the original post:

Nathan Lee Bush responses follow. He’s edited for @nike @budweiserusa @Facebook @CapitalOne @youtube @OldNavy @Converse @MorganStanley @Barilla @virginhotels @BubbaWallace @darkhorsewine @CarnivalCruise to list a few. He directed @CocoGauff in @newbalance & @nike commercials.

He’s also a cinematographer for @panerabread @esquire @reeses @TiffanyAndCo @saks products and @GQMagazine with @LewisHamilton

Oh and he deleted his more egregious posts. I’m sure others have screenshots.

This is Russ Blaise:

This is Jared Tarlow: he’s an editor at @shondaland and worked on @ScandalABC @GreysABC at @ABCNetwork and doesn’t understand his privilege at all. Trying to shame and intimidate the editor to remove the post.

This is Jonathann Launer:

This is Jon Budd and Simon Hutchins:

David Beerman & Antonio CT upset ppl are complaining about something “that happened 500 years ago”

Jeff Samet:

Enough is enough! The racism, trolling, agitation, & intimidation from privileged white editors towards black editors in these posts (a thread)...are just a taste of what it’s like when wanting equal opportunity is a threat @DEADLINE @Variety @THR @ava

When Black Editors Matter is met with no ALL editors matter. Smh @ReignOfApril please read this thread. #editorssowhite

This is Marc Fisher! He doesn’t give “2 shits” about you guys blacklisting him b/c “you have no idea who” he is & he’s “working on stuff you can only dream about”. Nice IMDb! Yes it’s ironic Marc worked on “ @MTV’s White Supremacy Destroyed My Life” last year.
