As we discussed yesterday, Rosanna Arquette got some criticism for tweeting this: ?I?m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.? Her Twitter account was public at the time, and she got a lot of comments from Trump supporters about how terrible she is for, like, her white guilt. I thought Rosanna?s tweet was unhelpful too, but whatever, I didn?t think people needed to full-on attack her for talking about her privilege. The comments got so bad that she made her Twitter account private. Now she?s spoken to The Wrap about everything that went down, post-tweet, and? I don?t know.
Actress Rosanna Arquette said Thursday the FBI advised her to make her Twitter account private after online critics lambasted her on Wednesday for tweeting that she was ashamed of being ?white and privileged.? Arquette, in an exclusive response to TheWrap, expanded on her comments and explained why she is now hiding tweets from anyone that is not among her 90,000 followers. ?Yes I?m locked to protect myself I was told by FBI to lock it up,? she said, declining to respond to requests for more detail on the FBI?s role in her decision.
Representatives for the FBI did not immediately respond to TheWrap?s request for comment. A Twitter representative did not immediately respond to TheWrap?s request for comment on if any users had been punished for comments directed at Arquette.
In her statement to TheWrap, Arquette detailed the ?threatening and cruel? online response to her Wednesday tweet. ?There are toxic and very vicious people on social media. Threatening and cruel,? Arquette said. ?I said yesterday the I am ashamed of the color of my skin. I am privileged just because I?m white. I feel shame. Because of all the violence that is happening in America and other racist countries. I was not raised to be racist. In fact my mother took me to Harlem to integrate and all black nursery school when I was 4. I feel truly desolate at the bigotry. and severe racism that we are witnessing in 2019.?
Rosanna Arquette, who was one of the first prominent individuals to publicly accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, pointed to the disgraced mogul and a sinister ?Boy?s Club? that she said she needed to be protected from. The FBI, Arquette said, compelled her to take her account private.
?On top of being one of the women who came out about [Harvey] Weinstein. The Boy?s Club is bigger than it ever [has been], so the attacks are really actually dangerous right now. But that?s what they want to put me in a state of fear. And I say no. I will not be afraid so I will protect myself and I do have people around me who are ready to protect me if someone goes after me. Don?t f? with me is where I?m at.? In her statement, she also referenced disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges (he has pleaded not guilty). ?We are witnessing the light being shed in the darkest parts of a hidden sick society [?] the selling of children for sex. Epstein is just the beginning. These sick f?- are going down.?

On one side, I feel like the FBI would probably not get involved with Rosanna Arquette?s Twitter account. On the other side, people are absolutely batsh-t these days and it?s more than possible that Rosanna?s tweet brought a lot of nuts out of the woodwork. The FBI and other federal agencies are taking a lot of well-deserved heat for their historic lack of interest in white supremacist terrorists and terrorism committed by white folks and/or Trump supporters. It?s absolutely possible that a prominent actress tweeting about white guilt/white shame ?triggered? the wrong people.
Also: ?In fact my mother took me to Harlem to integrate and all black nursery school when I was 4.? Like, the problem was never that historically black spaces needed some white faces. Those historically black spaces were created because white folks wouldn?t allow black folks to come into their ?white spaces.? ?Integration? is not ?send one white child to Harlem.? *headdesk*

Rosanna Arquette is a member of the Resistance against Donald Trump, against fascism and racism and white supremacy. She?s been doing her best allies, activists and advocates don?t have to be perfect, they just have to listen, be respectful and try. That?s literally it. ?Don?t be a douchebag? is how low the bar has been set for most anti-Trump people to find an alliance with one another. I would say that it?s been a difficult few days or a difficult few weeks, but America has been a hellscape for the past three years with Donald Trump?s nomination, election and regime. In the wake of this past weekend?s dual shootings in El Paso and Dayton, it seems like something broke in Rosanna Arquette. She tweeted this shortly before she made her Twitter account private:
The Deplorables jumped down her throat as soon as she tweeted this, which might explain why she set her account to private, just to get those aholes off her mentions. This must be that mysterious ?white guilt? people talk about: ?I?m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.? The thing is, the people who should actually feel guilt about their votes, their actions, their words, their prejudice, their bigotry? don?t. They don?t feel that guilt. I just feel like this is the wrong energy for someone who wants to be an ally? Like, I won?t speak for communities of color, but personally I don?t want white people?s guilt. I want them to acknowledge their privilege because acknowledging it and being aware of it literally doesn?t cost a thing and actually think about how they?re voting, who they?re hiring, which issues they?re supporting, what movements they?re working with, and more. Instead of feeling bad or ashamed, take that energy and use it to actively ally with a good cause or candidate.

I think this is the first time I’ve had pictures of Rosanna Arquette on the site, not that that should be a shock to you considering nobody wants anything to do with her career wise, but she seems to have a couple of qualities I look for in a woman. Can you
