Fake Outrage Over ‘Hidden Fences’ Gaffe at Golden Globes

Don’t you hate it when certain groups constantly search for something to be offended by? The 2017 Golden Globes gave Black Twitter a reason to be mad on Sunday night when 2 stars flubbed the title of Pharrell Williams‘ movie Hidden Figures.

Today Show‘s Jenna Bush Hager and actor Michael Keaton mashed up the titles of Hidden Figures and the Denzel Washington-directed Fences.

Black Twitter’s social justice militants are among the biggest offenders of faux outrage online. They take offense at the smallest mistake, compounding a simple flub into evidence of white privilege and oppression of black people.

Last week they took the bait and vented their phony outrage at Yahoo Finance for tweeting a racial slur, which was probably intentional.

This week their target is the Golden Globes. By next week the “Hidden Fences” fiasco will be forgotten. It’s a good bet that most of them still haven’t purchased tickets to see Hidden Figures.

Do better Black Twitter.
