A Letter to the AMC Press Center--Feel Free to Use!

@ca-suffit

Link to contact the AMC Press Center:

Feel free to make changes to your own letter where you see fit:

Dear AMC Press Center, As a fan of what your creative team has done for the show Interview with the Vampire, I am disappointed in your decision to include Elisa Hansen (aka Maven of the Eventide) in your press events. What your creative team has done is provide an adaptation of a story that explores themes of race/racism and queer relationships and how these two things intersect that the original source material did not. As a result, you have opened this story up to people who otherwise have not been included in this type of media. It is for this reason that I am disappointed in your decision to invite Hansen to any of your events. Hansen has promoted negativity toward the show in ways that illustrate a lack of respect for what your creative team has set out to do and has made her space unwelcoming to the very audience whom this show appeals to and who, arguably, have been its strongest supporters. Additionally, Hansen herself has admitted that she has not entered any contests to be invited to any events. It seems unfair that she should get this privilege when other content creators have been more supportive of this version of the story being told. Again, considering how important this show is for your strongest supporters, this is a disappointment. I hope you will make better decisions in who you choose to give this kind of privilege and opportunity to in the future.

What I need for White Americans (ppl in general really, but I'm talking to the U.S.) to understand about Americans of Color is that You don't know Us, but We know YOU.

We've spent generations upon generations of our entire lives learning YOUR social norms, forced to assimilate to YOUR idea of society. We live and learn entirely separate cultures, but we also learn from birth what it means to have to cater to Whiteness in America. It's why I can name so many famous movies with white casts, but most white people didn't even know where "Bye Felicia" came from. It's why I was raised to professionally Code Switch from childhood, but grown white people struggle to even grasp the basics of the grammar of AAVE. It's why people who speak different languages think they have to give up their own mother tongue just to function in this country.

It's why you all are so uncomfortable with the idea of people of color questioning and rejecting what seems "normal" to you- and to be honest, I actually think older white generations are better at admitting this than younger ones. It's because what you know as normal is usually not "normal"- it's White. Whiteness is just as loud as any other presentation of race in this country, you just don't see it that way because everyone else has been forced to maintain your comfort. The entire system is built around it, and you don't even know it.

It's why it frustrates white Americans of some marginalization- queer, disabled, neurodivergent- because you do not have access to the "norm" as it is shown to you. But that frustration- literally everyone of color (who shares those identities btw) lives under that understanding.

Idk, I didn't really have a direction. I just think it's wild how so many conversations require this... Constant Verbal Leveling of the Playing Field simply because Whiteness blinds white people to what things ACTUALLY look like out here.

THE BLACKENING (2022) written by Tracy Oliver & Dewayne Perkins

[watchyourmouthorgetslapped]

idk to me it’s just like,,,black people coined the phrases say her name and rest in power for a reason and im gonna focus specifically on say her name because it was black women who wanted to call attention to the systemic violences that we have faced that have resulted in the deaths of so many of us which were left unrecognized. it was specifically addressing an issue within the black community wherein black femicides (particularly at the hands of the police/intimate partners) were not given the same spotlight as the murders of black men. we are always forgotten in life and in death and that is part of why the violence against us has been permitted to continue to the point that we are at a significantly higher risk of homicide than any other race. and the statistics are even more grim for black transwomen and femmes. for every nonblack victim of transphobic violence that gets recognition in their horrific death, there are 10 black victims whose names we never know. like that is the whole point of the phrase this shit is life or death for us and we know that the moment race is decontextualized from the nature of the phrase then that is when we are once again forgotten. but yall are acting like we’re trying to start genz tiktok lingo/aave co-opting discourse.

I want to know more about your in-depth opinion on that part of Mara's plot so I'm going to ask you two questions, hoping you can start the ball rolling with that.

Would you have felt differently had they used a different animals in a different difficult circumstance like cats or animals not commonly associated with dehumanizing black people?

What's your opinion on that emergency in 2x07 where euthanizing the horse made Hen decide to take off his dad's life support?

Apology for making you uncomfortable with this ask, and I'm sorry for having your experience with the show ruined by the writing choices.

I think I can answer both questions at once:

I don’t think black characters (ESPECIALLY a child) and their stories should be paralleled with any animals period. And definitely not an animal that is showing violent tendencies or having been on the receiving end of something violent.

Im sorry but there HAD to be a better way for Hen to use a work call to make the connection. Mara represents so many little black girls and while I think its important that her story be told, it truly sucks that the writers chose to go that route with it.

This world already views young black kids in such a vile way. We are dehumanized from birth. People see our black boys as grown ass men-and treat them as such-no matter their age. They sexualize young black girls from the time they can walk. they kill us with no hesitation. So like. to watch my favorite show and they introduce us to this little girl who is clearly traumatized and then do that??? I’m not media illiterate, I can see what they were trying to accomplish with it, but a dog? A DOG?!! Be so fuckin fr.

HEN WILSON and KAREN WILSON | 9-1-1 → 7x05 You Don't Know Me

okay something serious now though i want to talk about hen and karen. there was so much growth in them as foster parents. the fact that this journey started with how their first journey with their baby girl nia ended, and they were fine. they saw it as a good thing that the baby girl they wanted so badly get to stay home, and they were head strong together in their decision to move forward with mara. i love the way they wanted to give all the care and kindness from the very start to mara, but how they were also very honest with their fears and doubts, and talked to each other about it. how no matter what they wanted to put denny top of mind first

they were together through the whole thing, communicated through the whole thing, used their community, their best friends to help them through the whole thing and i adored that. they were the epitome of what it means to be good parents, and not only did we get to see that with their efforts with mara, but with also how denny was when it came to the whole experience. he was so careful and kind with her, followed his moms' lead. when he got 7 stitches, he wasn't even upset, understood that she didn't mean it. and that is just the compassion, love and understanding he has learned from and through his moms coming through

the world is a better place because of hen and karen wilson are in it. we are so lucky to have them
