The Acolyte’s Amandla Stenberg Releases Song About Star Wars Fandom Backlash
Amandla Stenberg is used to inflammatory comments spanning her career. From Hunger Games fans when she was a child who were disappointed Rue was Black, despite being so in the books to her latest dual roles in Star Wars: The Acolyte. The award-winning actress has developed a thick skin and a sense of humor along the way to deal with her critics.
Now, after a flood of “intolerable racism” that she’s received following the release of The Acolyte, Stenberg has posted a sand and choreographed video.
“Happy Juneteenth,” Stenberg posted on her Instagram. “And to those who are flooding me with intolerable racism–since it took me 72 hours on my laptop to make this song and video, [you] got 72 hours to respond. and I expect choreo!”
