On Tuesday, the Get Out actress appeared at MCON — a conference in Washington D.C. where filmmakers, technology experts, and entrepreneurs discuss the global issues affecting our world — and participated in a discussion about social justice.

Denouncing members of your own group for (alleged) moral transgressions – like Allison Williams did – is a cheap way to get a #dopamine fix.

“Allison Williams” needs to worry more about the fact that she’s a White woman living in a post-Globalist

Does anyone really care about “Allison Williams”?
Hollywood is farce.
Invest in your own opinions and ideas b4 some celebrity’s.
