We agree

Just because I don't think >race was the only or main factor in this doesn't mean I'm >downplaying it one bit.

How can it be more about something besides race and gender if she mentions race and gender several times during the interview ? She said “I am asking that you stand with me and boycott Netflix for gender bias and color bias ”

Even if she doesn't have the draw of the 3 comedians that you mentioned, wrong is wrong. Race and gender bias is at the core.

If Blacks folk don't stand for something....
The majority is pushing back against Monique and her boycott anyway so I doubt the number of those looking down saying black people don't stick together is more than a handful.
