Only Lee Daniel’s could come up with a concept, where “making white people feel good,” is the most acceptable way to help our country heal!
This is the same Daniels — when referencing Oscars So White — called for black actors to “stop complaining” and just let your work speak for you.
He’s also the same guy who when asked about his casting of a white woman as the lead character in the new Fox Series ‘STAR’, “I wanted to show a white girl that had some swag” as “part of the healing process.”
Daniels then added: “I wanted white people to feel cool. I wanted them to not be made fun of. We are one.”
As if they weren’t already “cool” enough!
Daniel’s went more in-depth during this piece for EBONY:
“We are in a very dangerous state right now in our country and I wanted White people to feel good about being White because right now, there’s a lot of hatred going on,” Daniels explains before further detailing the story he created. “It started out with this White girl that was just badass and would do anything: kill, rob, have sex, whatever to get to the top. Then, I realized as I was writing, that it was more about a girl group. Their whole world is about what happened to me when I left home and went to Hollywood and the struggles I went through. ”
Daniel said that he wanted to shake up the television world with this show, but it just sounds like he’s trying to re-uplift his oppressor.
Why — only Daniel’s knows!
