Watching #ChadwickBoseman give this remarkable speech really made me think. People keep saying that he was a luminous talent, and he clearly was. People have said that he was a wonderful man, and that seems beyond doubt. People say he was unique ... and I have a thought. 1/x https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1299538040893984769
Chadwick was an amazing talent but he wasn't the only one who was young, gifted, and black. He reminded people of that in his speech. He played Black Panther and Jackie Robinson and Thurgood Marshall AND James Brown. That's a real tribute to his talent ... 2/x
but maybe it's also an indictment of an industry that only really feature a couple of black leading men at a time. Maybe we should listen to what he is saying. We are failing and EVERY industry needs to nurture and give opportunities to the young, gifted, and black. 3/3
P.S. Shaun King is a shameless ghoul and a fraud. Nothing to do with this thread, really, but man, that guy reeks and I needed to say it.
