Gwyneth Paltrow, best friend of Beyonce, is making some sparking statements about Black women, and White women, Media Take Out has learned.
“I think White women are taught to be competitive with one another … in my circle of Black women, they do not do that,” the actress and Goop founder said in a recent interview.
Gwyneth Paltrow, during a Thursday conversation with Dr. Ella Bell at The Makers Conference in Beverly Hills, California, praised the “amazing intrinsic self-honoring” of her Black women friends, saying “it’s like from the deepest part of their souls all the way to the tips of their fingers.”
My Black women friends know themselves, proud themselves, in a way that I wonder White women are not taught to,” explained Paltrow, 51.
“I think White women are taught to be competitive with one another — which is something I’ve attempt to work so difficult to dispel, because I don’t believe in competition between women — However we’re raised to be competitive, to be jealous, to look over each other’s shoulders.”
“And, at least in my circle of Black women, they do not do that,” the Academy Award winner continued. “There’s an immediate acceptance and safety and appreciation.”
