And if you’re wondering if justice has shifted at all since this particular example of the US orchestrating the murder of one of our more decent citizens just trying to make life better for them and everyone they could possibly help, Breonna Taylor was unnecessarily murdered by police who quite likely knew they…

BTW, to the dismissed purity crack. I didn’t say these excellent actors shouldn’t be allowed to play African Americans parts. I specifically mentioned African American historical figures for a reason. Learn to read or be ready to be clowned the fuck out.

But that’s not the critique either. The issue is that people in charge of making these decisions seem to assume that black British actors are automatically better qualified for these high profile roles, which is absolutely rooted in ideas about black people from other countries being viewed more positively than their…

Maybe we need to convince them to produce movies about Black leaders in Britain. They could start with this:

Yeah, I’m from Chicago and that accent ain’t right. It totally took me out of the performance. 

It was annoying to see the likes of Boyega and Kaluuya get super defensive and derail Samuel L. Jackson’s legit critique of this trend so that it instead became a discussion of being “black enough”.

Apparently, there’s no Black American actors to play these high profile roles. 🙄

Imma be that dude. So are they just going to get Daniel Kaluuya and John Boyega and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Idris Elba to play all of our African Americans historical figures and tell all of our stories?

Obviously, he is just a fan of all time great refs like... *spends 10 minutes on Google searching for known football refs* Ed Hochuli(?) who was the official for the 2nd Patriots championship at super bowl 38.

Does he not remember the replacement refs?

Only the refs, umps, and officials are needed?

It’s an odd argument. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. People are getting sick, and some are dying. The players are expendable to their employers, but their lives are not expendable to their families. Seems like Deion is illuminating the wisdom of the players’ decisions.  Rather than risking sickness and/or death by…

Ok? And so is the rest of America’s PPE as of late. Doesn’t make it less protective.

I’m a Colorado native and have lived in Aurora, I can almost unequivocally say that’s not true. This isn’t a “one off,” scenario. This is APD acting as they have for decades. As we keep pointing out, the only difference is that this time someone recorded it. 

Oh they know. That’s why they insist that racism is in someone’s “heart.” Cos you can’t prove what’s in someone’s heart. They want it to be a thought crime, a crime of the heart. That way you can never prove it.

He says this because he is used to saying what he wants to say with little or no repercussions. It’s what white people are used to.

Came here for the quagmire reference, did not leave disappointed 

Perpetual mumps or a seriously botched forceps delivery, at a guess. Could also have a chipmunk, hamster, or some other member of the gerbil/rodent genus in the family tree somewhere. Hard to rule out anything at this point.

I believe this is the hill he wants other people to die on; he expects God and the medical community to save him.
