Nick Searcy fires back at Julianne Moore over the new Hollywood celeb video to fight racism

Celebrities including Julianne Moore, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sarah Paulson, Kristen Bell, Aaron Paul, Justin Theroux and Stanley Tucci have a new video out to fight racism, saying “unless white America acknowledges its privilege, systematic racism will persist.” And, of course, there’s a hashtag — #ITakeResponsibility — so you know they’re serious:

Today, #ITakeResponsibility for my role in eradicating racism in America and taking a stand, no matter how small or large. What will you take responsibility for? More: https://t.co/otICWAzP1I

You know, these celebrities should just refuse to work on films unless there’s say a Black director and Black lead actors. But will they?

Today, #ITakeResponsibility for my role in eradicating racism in America. Unless white America acknowledges its privilege, systemic racism will persist. Act Now. What will you commit to? https://t.co/OjSR23y7lp. @NAACP @itakeresponsibility #itakeresponsibility #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/NYH2WQyiKP

We know the answer to that:

Will you all commit to giving up your future roles to actors of color?

And why are they just doing this now? From Twitchy favorite Nick Searcy:

How many people of color have you personally assisted, by the way? Oh, and Merry Christmas from my family to yours! pic.twitter.com/nqDwih9gr3

Hypocrites:

Stopped watching after @KristenBell.

You’re doing Black voice in 2020, so if you’re truly #ITakeResponsibility shouldn’t you step back from the role and let a Black woman take your place?!?!

You’re playing a Black biracial child & well, you ain’t Black. ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️ https://t.co/SOzYR10KFl pic.twitter.com/VAUryiG14v

Maybe they can release one with music, next? Because that totally worked:
