"i feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don't have the same privilege. i think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here. i think that's the message that we're sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry, and in ways that we benefit from. i don't think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment, although that's what we give ourselves every year. i think people just want to be acknowledged, appreciated, and respected for their work." the homie mr. phoenix winning an award for a performance of violently (fatally) toxic white cishet male energy with #joker using his two minutes of attention to drop some knowledge on his peers at the #baftas is the kind of energy we actually need to maintain for 2020 y'all. 🤘 #joaquinphoenix #thejoker #awardspeeches #mondaymood #mondaymotivation #biganarchistenergy #bigveganenergy #politicalqueen #politicaltop #fuckcapitalism #fuckracism #fuckwhiteprivilege #whitepeoplebelike #quotable https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HD_3Dpn3V/?igshid=nfgf9dsvk8ty
