Whoa, slow your roll. I'm not trolling, I'm trying to start a serious discussion on the grey area of joking and sh*t talking. I'm not saying men are right or that it should be the way that it is, I'm simply saying that my friends and I, and many other men, push the button, and each others buttons constantly in ways…

Hmm, I think there needs to be a real conversation on joking with female co workers. Most men claim they prefer men-only get togethers because women get offended at the jokes so easily. I don't like the fact that women are being excluded from what usually ends up being bonding time, but there at least has to be some…

Is it really a triangle though? He clearly kicked her aside after a disagreement and looked for the biggest "upgrade" he could find. Of course he gives her gifts to keep her happy and quiet but I doubt they are still romantically involved relationship wise.

Makes perfect sense. I figured this was something already worked out between spouses in this situation though, a certain amount of money going to the stay at home parent, aside from essential stuff. That actually does sound like hell, sounds like being back to asking my parents for money.

I think it's more about blacks themselves being able to pull themselves out of the hole they have been put into more efficiently if they have more self respect. Then more non blacks will start respecting that and it builds. I think he couldn't fully articulate what he meant but the sentiment is not a myth nor harmful.…

I didn't mean that overt bias was the only cause. Also during the 90's television was pretty diverse if you knew where to look and that's my point. Yes there should be more diversity in the mainstream but to be honest I place the blame on the parents because they had opportunities to help their children avoid this…

You just make sure you don't pass the poison on to your kids or the next generation. Unfortunately it might already be too late for you but at least you can save others from the same fate.

Actually what I got from most reviews was that Bjork deserved better than this, not an attack on the museum or its curator, just plainly stating that they failed.

I enjoyed Get On Up, Beyond the lights wasn't good and neither was Belle. Dear White People was pretty good. I'll give you two out of four and mention that neither was particularly great(which should be necessary to be nominated for an Oscar) enough to say they were overlooked.

I think they are Mexican as in from Mexico if I recall correctly. They grew up,learned, and made something of themselves in Mexico before taking big jobs here. Now I know that blacks don't have the same situation because they don't have their own country but that doesn't change the fact that they need to find better…

You have to look at the great group of Mexicans leading Hollywood right now and ask why the same isn't happening for blacks. It's a talent and creativity disparity. Mexicans won back to back Best Director and Best cinematography, the two most skilled positions imo, as well as editing last year. There is no black…

What great insights? See that's the problem, you are so busy defensively responding that you aren't paying attention. There is no great insight, no complex fix, no major puzzle. It's all quite simple it's just that like everything else wrong in this country, no one wants to deal with and confront the actual problem.…

I listed the problems and the hurdles. It's not on me to figure it out because I'm not a black or female film maker and I'm not the one complaining every time some meh tier movie doesn't get 50 nominations. It's also been years that this has been a problem yet still all people talk about its snubbing by the academy…

You are giving me hope that intelligent conversation on this matter can be had. I'm all for change but lets not turn awards for artistic achievements into pity awards, or everyone loses.

Nope, their doing, it's just not enough to make a difference. But just keep yelling about racism and how the mighty forces that be are holding black film back, that's sure to make a difference instead of figuring out how to actually solve the problem. Giving out pity awards and nominations sure does sounds like a…

You explained it perfectly. This isn't new and it isn't wrong. The best directors should be chosen based on their contributions to the film not just how great the film itself was. I would add that if Duvernay was responsible for picture quality period I could see complaints about her being snubbed but she has admitted…

I think the lack of funding and a lack of black viewing support for indie films prevents the more artistically talented and ambitious directors(auteurs) and writers from finding success and becoming strong forces in the industry. I think the industry as a whole is in a terrible place and the black section of it is in…

No they don't. Name some quality films made by unique auteurs who happen to be black, that are funded mainly by black entrepreneurs. It's not that I don't realize, it's that it's not happening. No one is dealing with the actual problem.

This is the most disgusting diversion out right now. Blacks and white guilt liberals get to attack and protest the lack(rightful) of diversity at the oscars while avoiding the actual problem because yelling out "systemic racism" is easier than actually dealing with it. Blacks need to stand up and commit to funding…

Seriously? Chunky red and brown blood and lining vs pretty straightforward white colored semen. The grossness of semen for mostly stems from its taste(and the few guys whose cum has a chunky consistency to it). I'm pretty sure period blood is worse there too. All body fluids have a level of grossness to them but blood…
