Aba and Preach: Actress QUITS cartoon because she was voicing a black character.
Quotes from Video:
Preach: " They're trying to fix problems without fixing problems. Now I'm not saying this... okay... Dear, uh - I'm gonna be super corny - Dear White People (big laugh) - I understand you feel helpless and you tryin' to fix things.
Aba: " Some of y'all."
Preach: "Some of y'all. Not all of y'all, of course. That's a given. You're tryin' to fix things. Alright? You're tryin' to do something because you see all these things happening and it's some messed up times that we have right now, and you wanna do something, and you sometimes have power and you wanna do something... But, it's not gonna solve anything.
"Wanting to do something - ANYTHING - because you want to have the feeling of doing something to help the issue, might not help the issue...."
Aba: "By this logic, if a white person can't voice a black fictional cartoon character, you know what that also means? That means that a white person can't write a black character.
"So - you like the Marvel cinematic universe?"
Preach: "No Storm. No Luke Cage..."
My Comment: I note that Preach makes an error about Cleopatra, but that doesn't detract from the point he means to make.
