Dear #BlackTwitter, please hold your content makers accountable for hiring Black Folks in front of the lens, behind the lens and AT the lens! Question the inclusion or lack of in camera crews. Ex: 90% black crew with all white camera department.

.Deadline We shall deem Marvel Studios newest #BlackPanther the new #WhitePantherParty due to its noninclusive camera operators? I guess it’s ok to profit off black dollars with black folks on screen but never to operate 1 of 4 cameras. #BlackLivesMatter

.Viola Davis SHOWTIME Seems appropriate that we’ve only had one Black First Lady that First Ladies would have one black personality in the “core crew”… or is it?! #Nawh #DiversityandInclusion #Equity #Diversity #inclusion

.@watchallblk let’s do some research on the products your pushing and make sure that the majority of department heads are black also… ESPECIALLY in camera!!! Many of OUR shows have ALL WHITE camera crews. #Diversity #inclusion #Equity #DiversityandInclusion

.ABC The Wonder Years So the reboot was about the African American experience, right?! So why can’t it be more representation (#MoreBlackFolksInCameraDept) working in the camera department on a show with an all Black cast?

"They [white dp's] cut their teeth on our films [black] and gain experience to move on and up to shoot bigger budget films that we [blacks] don't have a chance to crew up because of the lack of experience. Why is that?" -Unnamed 1st Assitant 2011

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor ‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’
