Black Panther lives up to the hype. It is simply the best comic book retelling yet. (Even better than The Dark Knight). Too often past movies relied on stunted dialogue with quips, a damsel in distress, imagery, and long winded action sequences to drive the movie. Black Panther let acting and the story drive the…

Ummmm she should be out of a job. As should Shulkin (doesn’t matter he is an Obama holdover). He and she are in positions for trust. It is pure greed and contempt that would cause them to doctor correspondence to have his dermatologist wife get a free vacation. If she was coerced into doing it, she needs to say that.…

Also, you can see in my pic I am what you would call a black man

I remember minutes after the tragedy in Sandy Hook, the president addressed the nation by camera and eloquently spoke of the need to stop these massacres, gave policy goals of how we could change, and feeling the pain of the nation, cried with us.

I agree. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. The concept was interesting but didn’t hold up to a horror movie. And Oscar nomination for best direction is a skeptical choice

Anyone who would care about a Prince tribute knows he’s from Minneapolis. Anyone who would care about a Prince tribute, knows he would not want one done by Justin Timberlake.

Good. She should have rejected a lowball offer which would have restricted her intellectual property. That’s between her, her manager and Netflix. Negotiate a better contract and failing that, walk away.

I have a couple rules. I will pay for children I’m related to, my parents and grandparents, guest of honor and that’s it.

The Root needs to draft you for the clapback team.

I agree her intention was to bait and troll black women. But unfortunately because almost no one else will rise to the occasion and defend black women, black women have to.

If Paris refers to herself as black, it’s fine by me. Her father was black..... although her DNA isn’t.

I meant culturally. Of course they will be black. But will they take pride in blackness? Will they love blackness? I have my doubts with listening to Kanye’s definition of “new slaves” and what his struggles (as told in his music) are now. I have my doubts with a mother who seeks to erase black women to elevate…

You may have missed: “and other black men” (how did you forget Reggie Bush?).

I blame Kanye ....and the other black men who have validated “all type girls” black men mindset.

Sure. Dreamers and their advocates should be mad. Rightly. But they won’t be mad at the Republicans who pushed the immigration debate so far to the right. They won’t be mad at the 30% of Latinos and Asians who continue to vote Republican. They won’t be mad at their “advocates” who sat out midterms until the…

Sure you can criticize and yes demand better. Who said you couldn’t?! But we can’t make childlike decisions (the ole taking my ball home approach) about adult situations. You’re not gonna get everything you want as an adult but you damn sure shouldn’t put yourself in the position to be harmed either.

Say whatever you want about Pantsuit but she would not have repealed DACA (which suddenly everyone cares about). My Bernie stans who cared about DAPL and the environment how the fuck is it working out with an EPA chief who never met a regulation he couldn’t deregulate? How about the MFers who said income inequality…

Badu is a navel gazing dingbat. Some artists are intelligent, brilliant and speak on complicated or simple issues. Badu is not one of them. I suspect she likes being a contrarian and likes the ego boost of presenting herself on another plane without having to do the work—study, thought, speaking with purpose. She is…

Wow. Thank you.

Honestly this grandiose thinking of “both sides, blacks are in the Democratic plantation, lesser evil is still evil” has served to drive the immigration debate further and further to the right.
