Blackest Moments of 2017: ISSA RAE BETTING ON BLACK

RED CARPET INTERVIEW
AT THE EMMYS



"I'm rooting for everybody black. 
I'm betting on black tonight"

Not only did she come right on out with it, after saying how much black people miss seeing accurate depictions of themselves She also talked about saying "no" to what sounds like a major network to be true to her vision in creation of black female imagery.

This video is only three minutes. Don't miss it

By the way, I'm glad another woman of color was interviewing her.

Issa is bold. But she has the same normal insecurities to jump as the rest of us...before she gets bold.  That's the core of her success

Rae might not have been as forthcoming with a white interviewer who would NOT have a basis for understanding the depth of disappointment of rarely ever seeing yourself on screen if you're not being caricatured or stereotyped.
