Amandla Stenberg of The Hunger Games has set her sights on Kylie Jenner after the young star posted a picture of herself on Instagram with dreadlocks claiming she "woke up like disss." Once the picture was posted, Stenberg verbally shot at the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

According to Stenberg, Jenner likes using black culture to her advantage but she refuses to direct attentions toward issues of race and police brutality.

The comment was made under this picture.

"When u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter," Stenberg wrote. Stenberg then took to Twitter to talk about the differences between white women and black women.

The Hunger Games star claimed white women are portrayed as beautiful while black women are "fetishised" and their bodies are "shamed."

"White women are paragons of virtue and desire. Black women are objects of fetishism and brutality," Stenberg wrote. "This, at least, seems to be the mentality surrounding black femininity and beauty in a society built upon eurocentric beauty standards. While white women are praised for altering their bodies, plumping their lips, and tanning their skin, black women are shamed although the same features exist on them naturally."

Stenberg called this issue "racial fetishism."

"Deeply ingrained into culture is the notion that black female bodies, at the intersect of oppression, are less than human and therefore unattractive," she continued. "They are symbols of pain, trauma, and degradation. Often when they are sexualized, it is from a place of racial fetishism."

After the completion of her rant Stenberg asked a question. She mentioned the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag and asked if the lives of female black women matter too.

Do you think the 16-year-old Stenberg has a point?
