Zoe Saldana: Sexism ‘Much More Aggressive’ Than Racism in America
Brietbart News ^ | May 5 2017 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 05/07/2017 10:32:55 AM PDT by drewh

Actress Zoe Saldana says the election of Donald Trump taught her that sexism is a more “aggressive” problem than racism in America.

“There was a realization that I just had in this last election is that, that America is racist — of course, there’s racism everywhere, I’m not saying that there isn’t — but I think that sexism is much stronger and it’s much more aggressive,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said in an interview on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning.”

Saldana conceded that there are women in various leadership positions today, but argued that “CEOs are primarily males” and “art is primarily male-driven.”

“I found it really offensive that Hillary Clinton was just questioned in a way that ‘let’s just question your incompetence because you couldn’t even like handle your [private email] server,'” the actress said, using the recent presidential election as an example.

“I’m just like, ‘People, she’s up against a man that calls women pigs on national television and she’s incompetent?'” Saldana continued. “There’s a big problem here and we have to address this pink elephant in the room. And it has to do with sexism in America.”

“I’m not troubled by the way I look,” Saldana, a Latina who has Haitian roots, said. “Maybe I didn’t get that part because I didn’t deserve it. There are other factors besides people always coming after you.”

“We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies,” she said. “We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong … and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises.”

She's married to a serial rapist and she defends him tooth and nail.

I think you have that wrong, she's the blue lady in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Zoe, you're very not guilty, but please don't push the envelope.

Please let the record show that I have NEVER questioned Hillary's incompetence.

HAA!
Yet I'll bet she didn't protest for being told to say these lines:

"And did I not, on multiple occasions, demonstrate an exceptional aural sensitivity" when her character was complaining to her boyfriend/boss about about his giving her an undesirable assignment in Star Trek.

I guess it's asking too much for Zoe to expend the effort to research laws regarding the handling of classified material. But, like, we're supposed to take her opinions seriously.

She equates Hillary’s unlawful possession and transmission of classified documents with Trump saying mean things about girls.

She’s obviously a political genius.
