Whoopi is the sole Black woman with an EGOT, worth somewhere around $60M dollars, and shows up for work in her houseshoes if she so pleases.
And a lot of it has been EXPRESSLY bc she ignored niggas like (checks notes) the "anti-bullyer" https://twitter.com/_theshawn/status/1388156062382051328
Whoopi ain't never gave a hot shit about being a conventional beauty by OUR standards, which is probably exactly how she landed Celie.
Single by very determined choice and preference. Which frankly I understand the older and older I get. https://twitter.com/dkuzny/status/1388191648895553536
"If she didn't date so many white men..."
You mean the white men who ain't GAF about her hair, makeup and clothes?
#Yall pose critical questions about BW choosing to prioritize themselves and then answer those same questions unprompted every day on this bird.
The IRONY is that this is the CURRENT cover of Variety magazine and he started that tweet with "Whoopi wouldn't get clowned so much if..."
Clowned by whom? Cause it don't matter if it don't matter.
What's funny (not actually) is the number of people I see assuming Whoopi dressed like she did bc she never loved herself. Whoopi ain't Celie, y'all. Please don't get the two confused. She was also a licensed beautician before she got her break.
Go watch the mastery of Around the World in 80 Days before you presume anything about how and why Whoopi is who she is. This woman ain't never, to my knowledge, talked about a crisis in her Black skin. She's talked about Black *people* questioning her Blackness.
