Ismael Cruz Córdova is getting harassed (he's playing Arondir in LOTR: Rings of Power)
Every. Time. Every single time a black actor plays a character of importance in any given franchise, these """fans"""" just crawl out of the woodwork and harass them.
He was already being harassed. For two years, prior to the show's release. Two years.
He shouldn't have to go through this.
I've been trying to see fan reactions to the series, and all I see are people throwing temper tantrums and having racist meltdowns, saying their favorite franchises are "ruined," and "smeared," and whatever else word they can use that isn't diverse. Actually, they're outright saying they don't think black people belong in the show at all.
Support Ismael Cruz Córdova, because I can only imagine how much shit he's going through right now.
Tyre Nichol’s mother has set up a memorial fund to help pay for mental health services for his family and a memorial skate park in his name. If you cannot donate, please share.

They'd been arguing for about an hour. Yelling at each other and throwing stuff all over the car. Before that they'd been laughing their asses off, for a good 10 minutes too. Until his phone rang and she threatened to throw it out into the rain.
At least that's how Amara thinks it went down by the looks of it. Her mom's car's only close enough to see the whole thing go down, too far for her to hear anything. All she can hear is Me and Your Mama by Childish Gambino blasting through the radio. She purses her lips when the woman leaves the car. She knows its her fault.
Although to be fair, Amara had no idea that Lakeith was with his wife this weekend, let alone in the same grocery store parking lot. She only saw his face clearly after Nia started playing with his blinkers and started yelling. She actually called to joke about seeing a guy who looks a lot like him in the parking lot.
But she called at the wrong time.
Amara grimaces as her eyes follow Nia who storms off into the store, probably to get herself a bottle of wine to calm her down. She turns her head back to Lakeith's car to find him frowning at her from across the lot. "Fuck," she mutters, scrambling to find a mask and her sunglasses. She quickly slips them on and slides down her seat, hiding behind the steering wheel in shame.
She checks stares at her phone waiting for him to call or send a lengthy text about how much trouble she was in.
Nothing.
Maybe he left, she thinks to herself. She shifts her body, positioning just enough to take a peek at his car. There's no one there. "Maybe he followed her into the store," she says.
A knock on the window startles her but she doesn't look immediately. She's afraid it's him. "God, I know we don't have the best relationship and that I haven't been to church in years, but please God, I am begging you to not let it be Lakeith," she silently prays as she turns her head slowly.
It's her mother. And she looks pissed.
"Thank you Lord," Amara chuckles as she opens her window. "Yes ma?" Her mother rolls her eyes. "Vula iminyango. Ziyasinda ezizinto," her mom demands. "Yes ma." Amara happily obliges, even getting out of the car to help her mother with the groceries.
After putting the bags in the trunk, the women are back in the car, ready to go. Right before Amara starts the car, her phone dings with a notification.
It's a text from Lakeith.
