This would not have been necessary, had there been as many voices raised while blacks were denied the opportunity, as there are now that this is being done. Racist?

Thanks so much for the great write up AnneMarieSteele!

One Black director in a sea of Whiteness is not going to change anything. Diversity and inclusion not with-standing.

More racism.

Pathetically little, pathetically late.

showing preference for one race is racial discrimination and Unamerican

Personally I would feel very uncomfortable being selected for the color of my skin.

Right, as opposed to the most qualified person. This is what’s known as tokenism.

Muitas empresas deveriam agir assim, nos seus quadros! Já, é um bom começo!

How Procrustean.

I do not stand for forced diversity. It should be the best for the job.

What about disabled directors,writers,producers in the film and television industry?

If you don't have a subscription, mentioned in the article are Zillow, Pinterest, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Procter & Gamble, and Nvidia.

Go Woke. Go Broke.

More junk.

Putting a person into a position based on skin color is racist. BlackPrivilege 👆🏻

How ridiculous. Skin color should not matter. Only qualification.

Ok

Racist and defies merit consideration. Promotion based on skin color degrades the execs authority and worth of the company. Similar to female execs who are promoted for sleeping with a boss. Rank and file never respects them. Just like Kamala.

How about adding the most qualified and stop judging people by their color? This is the Nazi Nuremberg race laws in a new guise
