Ok let’s get this straight, there are two separate films featuring black cast members that are making waves this awards season. Hidden Figures, a true story about the black women scientists that helped send astronauts into space, and Fences, a story about a black working class family in the 1950’s. These are two very different stories, but somehow entertainment reporter Jenna Bush Hager, just lumped these two films together into some kind of black movie sandwich.
Pharrell who served as a producer and song writer for Hidden Figures had a priceless reaction.

Twitter reacted with humor and mockery which has always been a coping mechanism.
