Jane Fonda says Hollywood is "afraid" to discuss its diversity issues in powerful Golden Globes speech
CBS News ^ | March 1, 2021 | BY SOPHIE LEWIS

"There's a story we've been afraid to see and hear about ourselves in this industry," Jane Fonda said at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. "A story about which voices we respect and elevate and which we tune out, a story about who's offered a seat at the table and who is kept out of the rooms where decisions are made."

An actress, producer and documentarian — as well as an entrepreneur, activist and author — Fonda, 83, has spent six decades in Hollywood, winning two Oscars and seven Golden Globes, among countless other awards. She's has been arrested many times for her activism, which has spanned anti-Vietnam war efforts to, more recently, climate change.

But on Sunday, she focused her speech on a singular effort: inclusion.

Notably, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization of international journalists which organizes the Golden Globes, does not have a single Black member.

"We recognize we have our own work to do," HFPA Vice President Helen Hoehne said Sunday night in an attempt to address the controversy. "Just like in film and television, Black representation is vital. We must have Black journalists in our organization."

Her real privilege was being the daughter of Henry Fonda. I am wondering if she’s feeling any guilt for that? She was pretty attractive in her day and that didn’t hurt her career.

If she weren't Henry Fonda's daughter we probably would have never heard of her. Nepotism is very big in Hollywood too.

We all know Jane Fonda’s past but Sophie Lewis, 31, makes Jane look like a conservative US Representative from West Texas. Her main goal is “Abolition of the Family” and “gestational justice”.

She’s attained all this wisdom at the age of 31.

************************************************************

Sophie Lewis
Dr. Sophie Lewis is a visiting scholar at The Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality and Women at the University of Pennsylvania, and a member of the teaching faculty of the Philadelphia branch of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. She is the author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family (Verso Books, 2019), which Donna Haraway hailed as “the seriously radical cry for full gestational justice that I long for.”
Sophie’s scholarship operates in the spheres of trans feminist cultural criticism and queer social reproduction theory, notably around utopian critiques of the family, Marxism, and Black and abolitionist feminisms. Her research currently focuses on the etiologies of eugenic, bioconservative and imperial feminisms, including narratives of so-called white slavery past and present, femonationalism, and trans-exclusionary femocratism.
A graduate of the University of Oxford (BA English Literature; MSc Nature, Society and Environmental Policy) and the New School for Social Research (MA Politics), Sophie earned her PhD in human geography in 2016, at the University of Manchester. The dissertation, entitled “Cyborg Labor: Exploring Surrogacy as Gestational Labor” was situated within the utopian “anti-work” tradition while engaging historical-materialist and critical geographies concerned with the production of nature; it sought, by reframing the semiotic and political economy of the contract pregnancy industry, to make a major intervention into contemporary social reproduction studies. It was supervised by Professors Noel Castree and Erik Swyngedouw and examined by Professors Maria Kaika and Cindi Katz.

It is not just advertisements. It is the entire entertainment industry. Especially the music industry. Maybe blacks and Hispanics are just more extroverted personality by nature.
Maybe it is just that natural rhythm I caught a few episodes of HGTV's House Hunters over the weekend. The first couple was a mixed race gay men. The second couple was heterosexual black. The next was heterosexual Hispanic. The fourth was again gay. This is typical of this network. It is an agenda to mainstream the LBGTQ lifestyle. I live in the country/suburbs of southern NH. I know one gay man. My wife knows several because she is involved with confirmation dog showing. There are a much higher than normal percentage of gay men in dog shows. However, we all know that as a whole gay people are only about 2-3% of the population. On HGTV, they are 40% or more.

Back then Liked Jane Fonda and her movies, long before she turned into the Radical Leftie she did. hey were fun, carefree, light comedies , and some good dramatic roles and lots of us had crushes on her then.

I refuse to watch any of her films made after her "sex kitten" period (Walk on the Wild Side, Period of Adjustment, Tall Story, Sunday in New York, Cat Ballou, Barbarella, etc).

As the person said about returning toenail fungus:
“Oh, no, back again? Still around? Can’t I get this thing out of my life?”

Katy Perry mansion....

Did she mention we are all going to be safe from gun violence when guns are taken away from the populace? Except her paid private security force.

“The issue here is why is Jane Fonda not in jail for life for being in country in enemy territory during wartime giving aid and comfort to the enemy causing Suffering and death to our troops.”

The answer to that would prove, that LEFTISTS have the very definition of White privilege, FAR MORE than us Whites they piously point the finger and J’ACCUSE!!!!
