Hollywood activist Ashley Judd wants ‘standard issue’ black emojis to combat ‘white privilege’
Hollywood activist Ashley Judd wants media companies to issue “standard issue” black emojis as a way of combating “white privilege.”
A Facebook post on Tuesday promoting Jan. 21’s “Women’s March on Washington” turned into a lecture on race for Mrs. Judd’s nearly 300,000 followers. The long-time Democratic Party supporter and activist allotted her “evening interaction” to the prevalence of “white/yellow-ish” icons as in indicator of “white privilege.”
“If you’re other than white, you have to scroll to search for an emoji of color that more closely resembles your experince [sic],” the actor wrote. “A little thing, perhaps.

Yellow is the New White! http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...standard-issu/ Originally Posted by IIFFOFRDB

See this is why I say god has to have a special place in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur for poileple like you. Malcolm being Muslim is irrelevant. He was a freedom fighter against the government and tyranny of white oppressors and yet you speak upon his name with such contempt. Let me ask you were your parents and grand parents beaten by black men. Was your grand mother raped by black men did you witness your father brutally killed by the KKK when you were 5? If you can't (which i know you can't) answer yes to any of those scenario's. Then your racist scum bucket ass should zip your trap, in other words your mouth.
