Sally Field received praise from some and criticism from others for her “self-aware” speech from Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild awards<\/a> in which she appeared to acknowledge her “white privilege.”<\/p>\n

“I was a little White girl with a pug-nose born in Pasadena, California,” she said. “And when I look around this room tonight, I know my fight \u2013 as hard as it was \u2015 was lightweight compared to some of yours. I thank you and I applaud you.”<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old “Steel Magnolias” actress who most recently starred in “80 for Brady” released on February 3, received her lifetime achievement award during Sunday’s ceremony, where she also talked at length about her decades-long career and late actor and “Mrs. Doubtfire” co-star Robin Williams<\/a> in addition to the remark.<\/p>\n

SALLY FIELD SAYS \u2018MRS. DOUBTFIRE\u2019 CO-STAR ROBIN WILLIAMS \u2018SHOULD BE GROWING OLD LIKE ME\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Her statement caught wind of commentators on the left and right on Twitter, sparking discussion.<\/p>\n

“It should be everyone\u2019s goal in life to be as self-aware as Sally Field,” one supporter raved.<\/p>\n

“Star Trek” actor George Takei<\/a> wrote, “She’s always been ahead of the curve,” while BuzzFeed deputy editorial director Spencer Althouse tweeted, “Sally Field acknowledging her own privilege while accepting her SAG Lifetime Achievement Award\u2026we love to see it!”<\/p>\n

Others took the statement to mean Field was apologizing for being White and resorted to criticism.<\/p>\n

SALLY FIELD TO RECEIVE SAG LIFETIME ACCHIEVEMENT AWARD: HOW SHE GOT HER BIG BREAK WITH \u2018GIDGET’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I’ll never understand apologizing for being white! Sally Field worked her a– off to become a well known and popular actress not because she was white but because people liked her acting and then she slaps herself and all her fans in the face and apologizes for being white!”<\/p>\n

Another said, “@sally_field Love ya but your speech that you had it easier then [sic] most is ridiculous. I see homeless white and black people out there and black people in great schools and big houses. We must stop categorizing people in little boxes based on race.”<\/p>\n

SALLY FIELD CALLS DOBBS DECISION \u2018UNCIVILIZED\u2019 ON \u2018THE VIEW\u2019: \u2018I THINK IT\u2019S CRIMINAL’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“There’s no exclusivity on hard times for any one race. Have black people been oppressed in our country? Absolutely. Does that mean other races can’t struggle or have it hard? Absolutely, not! Cut out the \u2018woke\u2019 race-baiting agendas,” said a third.<\/p>\n

Others echoed the “woke” label while some accused Field of virtue-signaling<\/a> and slammed her as a “racist” for the remark.<\/p>\n

Some critics pledged to never watch another one of her films again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
