In the wake of George Floyd’s death last year, cop shows came under fire, with Cops being pulled from TV and think pieces demanding a stop to scripted police dramas. Now one actress is taking her virtue signaling to new depths by vowing, “No more cop shows for me.”
Jasika Nicole (pictured), a biracial C-list actress best known for roles in the new Punky Brewster, The Good Doctor, and Fringe, made her stance known in an op-ed published in Entertainment Weekly on April 20. Reading the piece, it quickly became clear that Nicole had taken a big swig of the Black Lives Matter Kool-Aid.
Nicole described getting wrapped up in the fantasy of television as a youngster, identifying with characters unlike herself as so many do, but she translated this as, “I developed such a strong muscle of empathy for the white characters I was introduced to on TV that the muscle for showing compassion for myself atrophied.”
She then became radicalized as an adult with what can only be described as intersectional critical race theory brainwashing:
I’ve spent the better part of my adulthood on a journey to untie the threads of my own internalized -isms, reworking my understanding of how white supremacy and patriarchal ideals have informed my view of the world and both prohibited and benefited me as a cis, queer, light-skinned Black actor. But I know that’s not enough. With a focus these past few years on the Black Lives Matter movement and how communities of color have endeavored to rise above the institutions that have been legally allowed to dehumanize and brutalize us, our country is facing a reckoning that has been building steam for centuries. I have shared as many hashtags as my fingers could type, contributed financially to both grassroots organizations and popular political campaigns working to combat classism and anti-Blackness. I have marched in the streets with my city and had difficult conversations with friends and strangers alike about the importance of abolition and what defunding the police actually means (divesting from state-sanctioned violence, investing in communities). But what else can I do?

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
