Imagine how badly the shiznit would hit the fan if a white actress said this:
"I'm rooting for everybody black!" #Insecure star @IssaRae says on the red carpet #Emmys pic.twitter.com/Pz3DJPyJc2

But instead said she was ‘rooting for everybody white.’
The actress would be called a racist, there would be protests in the streets, buildings burned down … whatever show the actress was on would likely be canceled and she would be fired.
Insecure star, that’s cute, Variety.
If a white woman is not allowed to say this, then surely this woman should NOT be allowed to say this?!

Not really, nope.
I'm all for my people but when I say "my people" I mean All people. I have too many races represented in my family to be bias pic.twitter.com/c0sCtkMnHR

When did people forget the main race is the HUMAN race?
@IssaRae would have lost her damn mind if a white woman came up to the mic and said I'm rooting for everybody white. #BlackSupremacist

It’s all we’d be hearing about today, the evil racist actress who dared say she was rooting for everybody white.
Weird world we live in these days, eh?
Is there a better example of privilege in America today than to be an openly racist black person like this?

That's RACIST™

Trademarked. Heh.
She has a funny show yet unfortunately she exposed herself as a race hustler. Disappointing.

Actors and actresses need to figure out they are alienating half their audience every time they voice a political opinion. Maybe just shut up and act?
Issa… there are better ways to do this

Shhh … she was busy being controversial for attention.
Although we’re not entirely sure she’ll like the attention she’s getting.
