Netizens react to Viola Davis' stance

Many netizens reacted to Viola defending and standing with South Africa amid the fake white genocide rumours that have been circulating. Here are some of the comments below:

sittingbrownbear42 responded:

"He keeps claiming she’s triggered, he’s sounding pretty triggered himself."

sidkrofft replied:

"I have been alive for so long and I have seen SO much, and what I am seeing so recently is appalling. Bravo to Abby."

debra_fleury commented:

"Notice his repetitive use of the word ‘triggered’ when she is being completely neutral. He’s calling on the stereotype of the angry black woman, emotional women, hysterical women, and other labels used to discount and silence women. Her grace and power in the face of this are so inspiring."

"What happened in that room is the greatest assault on Africa’s dignity, sovereignty, and liberation legacy. They literally handed over our country. What a shameful state of affairs! Any proud African watching that drama must have felt the shame deep in their hearts!"
