The Internet might just need some neutrality after its latest attack. Social media is unloading on comedian Mo’Nique as she continues to raise awareness and promote a global Netflix boycott.
Over the last 48 hours, the Internet has taken direct aim at Mo with some jaw-dropping memes.

This week, Hollywood superstar Jada Pinkett Smith came to Mo’s defense amid boycott backlash.
You don’t have to like Mo’Nique’s approach. You don’t have to agree with her boycott but don’t allow all of that to make you blind to the fact that non-white women and impoverished white women are underpaid, underrepresented and undervalued EVERYWHERE by EVERYONE.

As a community, we should be supporting the light she is shining on this truth.

Throughout the week, Mo’Nique has hit up social media to make public statements about her accomplished career and drag Netflix for unfair offers.
Last weekend, comedian Michael Blackson shared an honest stance about why less fortunate people could not contribute to Mo’s boycott.
“I just watched the Mo’Nique video. She wants us to boycott Netflix because they only offered her $500,000. Mo’Nique, $500,000 might not be sh*t to you or me or Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle – but it means a lot to the broke n*ggas that are following us. It could be a 10-year income. they take your income, so you’re not going to get much support there. Plus they take your cable. DirecTV costs $150. Netflix costs $9.99 and n*ggas love discounts. Plus I’m waiting for my Netflix deal so I can’t really f*ck with it now. Now if they offer me some bullsh*t like 40 cents a day then I’ll tell n*ggas to kiss my a**.”
