I can’t even feel bad about this one. Or sad. She lived a long life, was vibrant until the end. And, her talent will be with us forever.

Betty White broke barriers, defied expectations, served her country, and pushed us all to laugh. Barack and I join so many around the world who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven. pic.twitter.com/tVL7NUw2TT

Man Black folks don't fool w/ too many folks but we really loved Betty White. We been rockin' with her heavy since Golden Girls. Grew up with her. Found the receipts about her refusing to play certain venues unless they allowed Black folks to play there too. Tough to lose the 👑

In 1954, Betty White was criticized for having Arthur Duncan, a Black performer, on her show.
When the show went national, affiliates from southern states complained and Betty said "I'm sorry. Live with it" and gave Duncan MORE airtime.
The show was soon cancelled. pic.twitter.com/JFB9fY1I2n

I completely agree:

We still need to celebrate Betty White. They should honor her on what would have been her 100th Birthday.

RIP Betty White, the only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party. A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.

Our national treasure, Betty White, has passed just before her 100th birthday. Our Sue Ann Nivens, our beloved Rose Nylund, has joined the heavens to delight the stars with her inimitable style, humor, and charm. A great loss to us all. We shall miss her dearly.

In 1954!, #BettyWhite hosted and produced her own daily variety show, The Betty White Show. White refused to fire song and dance man Arthur Duncan after viewer complaints because he was Black. In response to demands that she replace him, she instead gave him more screen time. pic.twitter.com/VpfxpsdUnW

When Betty was 88, I asked her if there is anything she’d still like to do and she said, “yes, Robert Redford.” A funny and sweet lady. She will be missed. pic.twitter.com/kMmyUO6LwW
