“I think it would be about Christopher Columbus coming over, the migration of the Spaniards, and the influence of the mixes in South America and in the Caribbean. That’s were my superhero movies would lay, like the 1400 or 1500s.” - ya girl, Gina Rod. https://t.co/gY4weD8YYW

if she could make a superhero movie starring people of color :
“I think it would be about Christopher Columbus coming over, the migration of the Spaniards, and the influence of the mixes [of people] in South America and in the Caribbean. That’s were my superhero movies would lay, like the 1400 or 1500s.”

And yes, folks are employing the call-out as opposed to the call-in because you’re a celebrity with both fame and resources which translates into being inaccessible to folks who would otherwise educate you privately @HereIsGina

AND THEN sugarcoating the spanish raping indigenous and black people and forcing them to assimilate as “the influence of the mixes of people in south america and in the caribbean”

Maybe you can start by working on not romanticizing colonization, erasing black & indigenous folks, and white washing history? Idk just an idea 🤷🏽♀️

“I think it would be about Christopher Columbus coming over, the migration of the Spaniards, and the influence of the mixes in South America and in the Caribbean.……” - your words. Stop erasing genocide, rape, and colonization with words like “migration” and “mixes.”
