ULTIMATELY ALL WE GOT IS US...
Which is why Issa Rae’s comment about rooting for everybody black was so beautiful.
As was Lena Waithe’s speech on the superpowers of the LGBTQIA community.
And Donald Glover’s shot at the white progressives in the room where he “joked” that Trump’s election and the subsequent white guilt are the only reason his work on Atlanta was recognized by them.
And Sterling K. Brown not allowing the timer music to end his speech, especially not when Nicole Kidman was allowed to read the entire first chapter of Gone Girl just moments earlier.
And Riz Ahmed articulating the ambivalence of winning an Emmy while playing a marginalized character.
And no moment better exemplified the beauty of that edict than when Anika Noni Rose and Cicely Tyson presented the Award for Outstanding Limited Series. Overcome with nerves, the 92-year-old Tyson—one of the few people who can legitimately be considered a living legend—struggled when reading her speech. But the sublime Rose put her arm around Tyson, bent down to her ear and encouraged her with graciousness, patience and love.
