Celebrities took to Twitter over the Thanksgiving holiday to support actress Gabrielle Union and slam NBC after the network dropped her as a judge on America’s Got Talent, reportedly after she raised concerns about racist incidents on set and after she was subjected to constant critiques about her appearance, including that her hairstyles were “too black” for the audience.
Hill also pointed out that labeling black women as “difficult” in the workplace is an old racist trope. “So proud of @itsgabrielleu for standing for what is right when a lot of people would have just been silent to maintain their own position,” she wrote. “Also: How many black women are labeled ‘difficult’ for merely seeking respect and decency?”
