For the adults in the room that are commenting about Emma check the respect factor she is the youngest in the room and sometimes listening is better on these subjects. If she spoke about this and is a white woman that doesn’t have children of color LIKE ELLEN something would be said as well. Pay attention and sometimes just hush.

[@FallOutGirl86]

Ferrari Yes. 🙌🏻 I wish more white people listened and stayed present during difficult or unfamiliar conversations about race. It’s easy to be afraid of saying something stupid, or tone deaf, or unhelpful (I’m guilty of that fear), but sometimes listening is the most important thing, and always the best way to learn. I love all of these women. 💜

Semajj Philly Ellen is a self-loathing white liberal woman whose virtue signaling is nauseating. She is openly racist because her opinion of the crew on set (of whom she had never me) solely on the basis of their race, something they had no choice in.

[@JARomero88]

Preach Ellen!! Seeing her get emotional just shows how deeply she cares about equality and making this world a fairer place.. Hope more actresses of her stature follow her lead.

[@fullthrottlealways]

TheRealMVP Remember that she is an actress and her script in this interview called for massive virtue signaling and fake crying. It was actually nauseating and sad to watch. She is a self-loathing white liberal woman who hates her own heritage and *desperately* seeks approval from the others on the panel.

[@JARomero88]

Omniscient 1 is this you God? I'd like to know because otherwise I don't understand how you can tell whether what is in her heart is genuine. She doesn't "hate her heritage" she simply recognizes that white people have done wrong in the past, and even though we've progressed things still aren't equal! Or are you suggesting that every white person needs to love the fact that some of their ancestors owned slaves and oppressed black folks? Every decent person would be ashamed of that, unless you are a member of the kkk or a Neo-nazi

[@PhedelCastro]

TheRealMVP I hear you. People should be ashamed of what their ancestors did. Mongolians should be ashamed that Gingus Khan invaded and brutalized Asia and Europe. Arabs should be ashamed of taking Europeans as slaves from the Barbary pirates. Everyone should be ashamed because someone in the past has done something to be ashamed of!

S Azizi What was messed up about Ellen not wanting to be a part of political parties that only include white people? As for Gabrielle Union, @15:14 she was saying she didn’t want her children to be literally the only black kids in their school. She’s right, they shouldn’t be, it’s good that she searched for a more diverse school for her kids to attend. What was wrong @ 21:54?

[@luvicandy]

@@sazizi3570 I can understand that what Ellen said didn't sit well with you... but I think you are missing the fundamental point she was trying to get across, which is "white privilege"... and unfortunately, because of your inability to comprehend this notion, you are part of the issue. Thinking it's "messed up" that she left an all white party because "race isn't your only identifying factor", and white people have "different upbringings", is perfectly dismissive of white privilege. White privilege is very real, and is one thing, that every white person in America has in common. To rationalize your statements by bringing up an all Hispanic, Black or Asian party makes no sense, since none of the aforementioned groups are born into the same privilege that is inherent with white people as a whole in America. White people come from all walks of life, but each white person in America, from birth, is considered and regarded higher than any minority (Hispanic, Black, White etc.). Minorities have to WORK to earn the basic regard that all white people are BORN to... that's what "white privilege" means. Until you understand that, I'm sure subsequent discussions focusing on race & privilege in America will not sit well with you.

[@luvicandy]

@@sazizi3570 If any of this is lost on you, please understand that I'm not saying every white person in today's society made the choice to be privileged... rather, they were born into the privilege without choice (though the privileged roots are sprung out of human injustices ((Native American genocide, indentured servitude, slavery, etc.))... Ellen is essentially saying that white people must now make the choice to stand up against white privilege and stand for equality. The color of ones skin does not denote their worth.

This video means so much to me right now. It’s “everything” I’ve been fighting for ever since I became an artist, ever since I became a photographer, and every time I tried to break into media. I’ve always wanted to work behind the scenes but as a minority the “walls” are there! And because we don’t match behind the camera our populations the narratives keep getting pushed and affecting our society in dark ways!

[@wroderickcondaye9412]

Michael Dominick The biggest racial barriers are economic. I went to an art magnet school, learned computer graphics, film, and design when my parents couldn’t even afford to buy me a computer. Graduated with a GPA over 4.0. Had to work McDonalds, Retail, and Call Centers at minimum wage to pay my bills until I could “afford” anything close to what I needed to film, edit, and create. By the time I had the tools and started to get freelance jobs I was coming up fast to being 30 years old. Those that had support, got in and became my competition in their early 20s. They could afford to undercut my rates. All of that before we get into racial bias which I have experienced from clients and their own peers. I never cheated a client but they were kind enough to tell me what their colleagues thought about me.

This is one of the most beautiful, open conversations I've ever seen and I'm grateful for it and the women involved

[@adriannag8101]

OMG Ellen!! You touched my heart. 💙💙💙 Thank you 🙏🏽 for your courage!!! You are amazing!!! Gabrielle, I love how you have stepped into your womanhood and how you are owning your voice! This was incredibly powerful and transformational. 💙

I would have loved seeing somone like Constance Wu in the fourth chair. Because if you're going to speak about Women in Television and their struggle, you should include asians which is the least represented group in Hollywood, especially in roles that do not involve stereotypes. I have nothing against Emma Roberts, she is a talented lady and yes she's young but let's not forget that she's the niece of Julia Roberts and that her name alone gave her work opportunities that the other ladies did not have. Her interview for this issue of Porter was so bland and superficial compared to the other actresses, it really shows how disconnected she is from the real issues in Hollywood. When asked about what excites her the most about tv, her answer was "reality tv, like the housewives of Beverly Hills". Gabrielle Union's answer : creating opportunities for other people and making sure they are paid what they deserve.

Heard, felt, agreed. Especially about Asian actors altogether, then specifically Asian women in the industry. Also about the elder women’s contributions. However, Emma’s chair in the conversation is necessary, too. She can relate as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She listened very well, contributed when she related and had something to say. She is the youngest in the room, and a white American actress with family lineage in the industry. Utilizing the information exchanged here, she could potentially produce most change. Remember, we can’t just “preach to the choir”. 💜

YES! YES! YES! SO PROUD. CONGRATS TO THE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THE CHANGE. WE CAN DO IT. SO MUCH LOVE ❤

[@shelbytyner9833]

I don't even know what to say it was so amazing. They said everything so perfectly. I've never been able to put to words how I feel. It's like Ellen read my mind and told me how I felt. We need more videos like this. Thank you!!!

[@zoeeriege216]

I can't figure out why this doesn't have more attention and more likes than it does. This is beautiful, and absolutely spot on. Change doesn't happen overnight, and neither does healing. In order to make a difference, we all need to come together because all of this status and hierarchy nonsense is keeping us from focusing on what really matters in this world and to this planet. Inclusivity is something that should have always been complete. Equal pay for everyone should have never been a question. Thank you Ellen, Gabrielle, Gina and Emma for kickstarting something huge into the right direction. I have tremendous respect for all of you, what you have been through, and what you are doing. Ellen, whenever I am feeling like I need a good laugh or a good cry or even just a second away from life to breathe I turn on Grey's and my day instantly turns around. Thank you and I love you!

Emma is literally me watching this 😂😂😂. The intense concentration

[@laurachera2761]

this is what unity looks like, this what the world should look up to. i am totally encouraged by this. love this so much you women just spoke for many.

[@gabrielaandrade2403]

I’m a 21 yr old Latina and rarely watch KZbin videos much less one that is 20 mins+ - but when I saw all of my favorite actors together having a conversation I couldn’t help but not ignore it. I hope that as a young female I grow to have the courage to speak up in spaces and rooms when I see exclusion, like all these beautiful actress said. Thank you for making this video I would love to see more like it!

[@juliagritzbach]

This was amazing!!!!

[@Phashi]

I wish this clip could go viral. So much truth in it

[@fromevelynsheart]

This was amazing and watching Ellen tear up gave me all the feels!!!

[@maynal2552]

I teared up listening to this. What an amazing conversation. The fact that this is happening in the talent industry and they are so honest to speak about it, makes me feel more empowered to speak up my own truth. I have always been paid less for not being from the country I lived in. Now that I live in the USA it has become more real. I knew what was happening, I was aware of my situation and I have let that happen to myself. Every time I wanted to take a brave step and talk to a manager about a raise, I felt down, not strong enough or even as Gina said "I should be grateful for at least having this." God knows how many times I have cried because of frustration and impotence for not feeling I was valued for my work, because I know my worth. THANK YOU LADIES, THANK YOU FOR THIS CONVERSATION. Thank you for using your platform to make changes in the talent industry which I hope and pray that if we all work together and defend, protect and have each other's back, it won't only make a change in the talent industry but every industry in the world. From bar tenders to construction man, babysitters, receptionists , accountants, finance managers, housekeepers, uber drivers... WE ARE VALUABLE AND WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR OUR WORTH AND NOT CONFORM WITH THE LEAST.

[@lemonadelemon1960]

This is what Monique has been talking about. INTEGRITY. Keep your damned awards.

[@Lina-ox8nm]

16:40 they were like "Oh no she did it. You go girl" Love it

[@loriturner-thompson4683]

Ellen thank you for your beautiful soul and heart and standing up for all of us!!! I love you!!!

[@ernestsy9844]

And for those who are questioning Ellen’s authenticity...please google her husband.

[@ilykepink]

her having a black husband means nothing. try again

[@ernestsy9844]

ilykepink you trying to say ‘it doesn’t matter’ doesn’t matter.

[@Anna-dz6gj]

@@ilykepink it means that she has children that will ne affected it means she has felt or witness bigotry because of it.

[@jl6930]

ilykepink yes. it means something. if the person you love is affected by something . like discrimination, you are inherently touched emotionally. if my sister gets bullied for having autism, and I dont have autism, i can still feel her pain and be an activist for autism awareness. your point is bs.

[@thinblacknoodles]

Ellen P does seem completely genuine,yet having a black partner doesn't mean shit, I know alot of people with black partners yet still are extremely racist.....yep it happens all the time

[@anajadorcas5113]

I love this and this women!!! This is so inspiring and empowering ❤❤❤❤💎

[@sarahshippell9768]

Inspiring, truthful, and it definitely makes you see all the different sides of the many issues they were discussing. Conversations such as this are the key to making a change and difference.
