Jane Fonda Fires Back: “You Don’t Get to Tell Black People How to React to Being Called the N-Word!” — Blasts Michael Rapaport in Fiery Statement
Legendary actress and outspoken activist Jane Fonda, 87, has issued a strong response to actor Michael Rapaport following his recent comments regarding the backlash against Hulk Hogan. Rapaport had criticized social media users who labeled the late wrestling icon a racist after his death, sparking heated debate online.
Fonda, known for her decades of activism, did not mince words in addressing Rapaport’s stance. “F-CK HIM!” she reportedly declared. “YOU DON’T GET TO TELL BLACK PEOPLE HOW TO ACT WHEN THEY’RE CALLED THE N-WORD!”
Her statement comes after Rapaport defended Hogan, condemning those who brought up Hogan’s controversial past, including his use of racial slurs. Many on social media felt Rapaport was dismissing the legitimate anger and pain felt by Black communities when confronted with racism.
Fonda’s fiery statement quickly gained traction, with many applauding her for standing up against attempts to police how marginalized communities respond to racial abuse. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions in Hollywood and beyond about who gets to define the boundaries of acceptable outrage when it comes to racism and hate speech.
As the conversation continues, Fonda’s remarks serve as a reminder of the importance of listening to and respecting the experiences of those directly affected by racism, rather than dictating their reactions.
