“Black Panther” star Letitia Wright, who plays tech genius (and T’Challa’s sister) Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had fans upset on Thursday night after she shared an antivaxxer video on Twitter and then began tweeting in apparent support of the position.

We’ve embedded some of those tweets as screenshots below. See them on Twitter here, and here.

The guy in that video also has vids of him denigrating trans women. The internets are mad as fukk.

All I'll say...the tone sure is different when it's a black woman fukking up. I don't see any comments about her betraying her race, I don't see anyone making macro level stereotypes or assumptions about black women as a whole, etc etc. She's definitely getting shat on, make no mistake, but the damage is solely on her and isn't bleeding out to people making ridiculous statements about black women.

Black people distrust the medical field for reasons that are true - exploitation, theft, experiments, etc. I don't think there's any excuse for this actress' comments given that she has the education and money to know better...but I certainly understand why many black people don't want vaccines. Of course, I hate how black people are singled out as if there isn't a way larger group of white people who will not take this vaccine (or any vaccine).

Coogler may need to remove himself from this one his filmography is immaculate. BP2 already shaping up to be a tough task due to the death of Chadwick and now this?

Disney learned their lesson from James Gunn firing, they not going to do anything
Jeremy Renner just went through a dirty divorce where a bunch on crazy stuff came out about him and Disney just let it pass and now he's filming Hawkeye like nothing happened
Most folks won't even know this happened by the time filming starts

Forreal. Recasted? Thats a very prison of the moment reaction
Like brehs, the film doesn't come out until what, 2022? A month was very conservative on my part; this will be forgotten in a couple days. We got holidays coming up, rona cases at their highest ever, and a President that might have to be dragged out of office. This shyt light:unimpressed:

It's fine to question these types of things and express apprehension about it, but the source of information you choose to share with people regarding that had better be on point if that's the route you choose to go. She picked a pretty bad source. :yeshrug:

I'm not gonna kill her like Twitter did but celebs especially need to be careful about the information they choose to share/spread regarding big rona and the upcoming vaccine.
