We gotta be ALL the way real..

Monique IS justified in being angry or fed up (in general) she is the last BIg black female comic from 90s-00s.. and she was on a syndicated TV show AND she has an Oscar.. And she STILL HAS to compete everyday because thats not enough to clear the hurdle...

I don't think anyone in the thread is going to say black women dont have it 20x as hard as anyone else in any field..

But the reality is her place in the culture even with all the accolades is a larger systemic issue that netflix cant or shouldn't solve. Her numbers and her position in the game are all a result of that basic issue
