Tina Fey’s White Privilege Response To Nazis Is The Whitest White Thing To Ever White
Tina Fey’s White Privilege Comedy
Before we begin: 53 percent of white women voted for Donald Trump. Just saying.
Anyway, Tina Fey went on Weekend Update and tried to deliver some ether to the president. She laid some zingers about Paul Ryan and the pres. But she also had a gag about encouraging people to stay at home and eat cake instead of resisting. The jokes were meant to entertain but it really reminded us of the privilege white people have to not engage in oppression because it doesn’t concern them.
Stay safe inside. Don't go honor the life of an innocent person killed in the name of white supremacy. Stay silent. Safe. Thanks Tina Fey 👍🏾

So guess what happened next? People called her out for it. Hit the flip and let us know your thoughts. Just jokes? Or a serious issue.
keeping the privileged women who are coping with learning that tina fey isn't really that progressive in my thoughts this morning

tina fey telling people who historically don't show up to fight white supremacy not to show up is…

Instead of eating cake and parroting provably-failed tactics, Tina Fey could simply fill all the GoFundMes for Black people injured on a12.

Tina Fey adapts "don't show up" as an anti-fascism strategy from her years of doing the same for people of color, queer people, lower-clas—
