Steinem’s still surfin’ that second wave. Her amazing contributions to feminism are unquestionable, but she can certainly miss the mark a lot.

As much as I respect her Steinem has become rather embarrassing as she’s gotten older. Like Bell Hooks, she occasionally comes out with one of those ill thought out fuddy-duddy grandma-isms that make you roll your eyes and want to take the remote away from them.

I can’t fully express how awesome it is that supporters of both candidates just can’t stop proclaiming that women are only supporting the opposing candidate because their vaginas make them stupid and illogical.

Analog dick pics! OMG

I really, really liked Something New. Sanaa Latham and Simon Baker were great together.

Maybe one problem is that since these movies are set in a time period that was “a long, long time ago” so people find a way to compartmentalize it and make pretty unhelpful comparisons between “then” and “now.”

Yup and Charlamagne said it even better a year ago:

Black and Latino high school students only exist to challenge brand new white teachers and then grow to love them while, in the end, teaching the teacher the most meaningful lessons of all.

True story: the 90's were much much better for black people on TV and movies than today. Like waaay better.

It’s a great way to pat ourselves on the backs. “We don’t own people anymore! Isn’t that great? All our problems are solved.”

See, look at their clothes, this happened in the olden times. Now we have Obama !

I think a shitload of people look at the brutality depicted in films about slavery and think: “See, that would be something to complain about. Comparatively, they’ve got it so good now and still they complain, complain, complain!”

oh shiiiiiit I didn’t see this!

Ice Cube: “Maybe we should have put a slave in Staight Outta Compton.” 5:00 mark.

Does this count?

It’s pretty fucking rich that people are cool with consuming and confronting slavery in the form of entertainment while gasping at the horror of it all, but refuse to budge when it comes to things like criminal justice reform, income inequality, etc., and acknowledging the lingering effects of a country built on the…

Unpopular Opinion: I don’t want to read any more books based on The Holocaust. Sarah’s Key, The Lampshade, The Book Thief, Number the Stars, All the Light We Cannot See...

They do, but only to terrible schools where they are about to drop out until some middle-age white man having a mid-life crisis really connects with them.

But you also occasionally get sports movies or music industry movies! Isn’t that enough?

But I also want to watch movies about black debutante balls and the Great Migration and a coming-of-age movie about a black teenager in Houston who loves to skateboard and gets into trouble with her Desi best friend. Those films are surely out there waiting to be made. I guarantee that somewhere there sits a great…
