Franklin wrote ' After calling out he wanted me to EDUCATE HIM via DM, not in public, so he followed me. Shortly afterwards Amell stopped following her. Where you learned your privilege from your white folks, I learned I wasn't sh-t, wouldn't be sh-t, & deserved to die b/c it's what your ppl taught mine.' These are things that are learned behavior. I shouldn't have to 'help you' understand the things you do and say are harmful. You're a father & someone in their 30's you're not new to racism & if you believe Toronto isn't racist that's your privilege. Silence is complicity, while playing ignorant is ludicrous. I'm not the only Black woman that's called you out, so I know you've had these conversations. I just ended my friendships with white comic creators over racism & I feel sh-tty. Nothing I do or say when I call out racism makes me feel better. 'That 'hope that makes you feel better' ain't it, Stephen. She replied 'I'm not sure why your tone is condescending, but I'm not beat for it.

Not that Franklin was going to be swayed by a direct famous response. I just followed you… so if you need something or you want to help me better understand, hit me up and we can chat!' What might not have been expected was Stephen Amell to reply, saying 'You totally nailed me. And Grant Gustin apologised for not initially publically opposing racist messages sent to co-star Candace Patton. Or messages posted by his wife Cassandra Jean, now deleted. That could be a reference to rather insensitive messages that Amell chose to apologise for in 2015 – but then took back the apology last year. Tee Franklin Calls Out Stephen Amell – and Gets a Tweet Back. Also Grant Gustin ain't absolved, cuz he DEFINITELY didn't support & speak out for Candace. This received criticism from all over, including from graphic novelist Tee Franklin best knwn for the graphic novel Bingo Love we recently highlighted, who responded to some of the criticism, saying 'F-ck he's been showing us his racist ass ways for quite awhile now.
