Issa Rae Remains Unbothered by Claims She’s Racist4 min read

Issa Rae had the perfect answer when a Twitter user called her a racist and slammed her for rooting for Black people at the Emmys. “ Sure Jan”.

The controversy stemmed from the “Insecure” creator’s happy explanation of who she was supporting during a red carpet appearance.

“I’m rooting for everybody Black,” she told Variety on Sunday, Sept. 17. “I am!”

While Black Twitter fawned over the admission… …other people dragged the actress and claimed she and her comments were racist.

However, when Rae clapped back at one naysayer, many praised her.
