Awarded Winning Actress & Comedian Mo'Nique has received and continues to receive treatment that you could learn from. I'm going to chop this post up a bit.
Amy Schumer is related to Chuck Schumer who is a politician with the Democratic party. It's not always what you know, and in the United States its usually who you know for certain opportunities.
Did Chuck Schumer scratch backs to get Amy Schumer a step ahead of the competition? He's a politician, a Senator from New York who will probably come in handy in someone's pocket.
The Woman's Movement powered by Black pain by way of foolish Black women handing it to other non-Black people, marches in the name of feminism. The level of stupidity ceases to amaze me when the shoes are on the feet of Black women who seek that same support they dish out and it never gets returned. Don't hesitate to tell them "You played yourself", and some of these women will even do the same to sistas.
There are a number of women who came out about sexual assault and things they claim have happened years ago, right? Decades have passed in terms of some of these women, but there is a bigger push that I will address at a later time. I bring that up because, most of these women are seeking financial compensation.
Compensation for allegations of past sexual assaults and women receiving equal pay are two arguments, so lets really look at them for what they are when applied to Mo'Nique.
Mo'Nique was blackballed by enemies of the Black community, enemies to those of us who know they are a detriment and don't give a damn about us (not even the kids). Mo'Nique then gets lowballed by Netflix. Both parties reached out to Mo'Nique and both wanted to exploit her talents without the financial compensation she is worth, but they paid Amy Schumer more than 24 times the amount they offered her. Who's arguing for Black women to get the equivalent of what other women make?
Let's take what she is going through and compare it to the compensation for allegations of past sexual assaults. There are a slew of women seeking to cash out on things they claimed have happened in the past, but some have the nerve to mention that Mo'Nique's resume and accomplishments are in the past when it comes to her seeking an amount she feels she deserves. She can't get that type of understanding they desire, she gets mocked and disrespected, is that not hypocritical? I hope that Black people (Black women especially) see that. She can't bank on her past, but non-Black women can bank on theirs.
One thing I do disagree with Mo'Nique on, is calling Amy Schumer "Sister" because if she was her damn sister this post would include Amy speaking out for her "Sister". I hope she sees everyone mocking her too and some have even crossed the line into slander. These are not your sisters, sisters go to bat for you, with you or try to help you. I have seen one-way sisterhoods before and they never work.
