I feel like my entire Twitter feed is people yelling at Kamala Harris over made up bullshit.

A friend of mine who has never smoked rented a car with his wife and drove it to the beach.
It’s almost enough to make you take the Seinfeld route of getting the insurance and promising to really beat the hell out of that car before you return it.
Insurance companies often ask for mouth swabs when establishing policies. One of the things these test for is whether you’ve smoked in the past x number of months. I believe they’re cheap as chips, as the saying goes. I’d take one, and then send a copy of the results certified mail, materials and documentation tying…
Where is that “In The Heights 2021" picture really from?
The lesson that should be the takeaway is that everyone has the capability of being a garbage person, but if people are truly remorseful, we should let people be forgiven. Although, the court of public opinion is much different than a one-on-one situation.
Has any single person put more awards (Tony’s, Grammys, Oscars) in the hands of people of color than LMM? Granted all those people are supremely talented and earned those awards but not to long ago they wouldn’t have been given a chance. LMM creates spaces where people of color can thrive and in the case of Hamilton…
Now, back to LMM, his Disney-fied self can get forgotten real quickly, just as quickly as he was called a genius not so long ago
Did Lin-Manuel Miranda make “Crazy, Rich Asians?” Because I think we’re talking about two different people.
It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side.
Aren’t young people in general less Conservative than their parents? Hasn’t moved the overall electorate significantly it doesn’t seem.
“For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will continue to push back until we are seen and heard. Indeed, Lin Manuel Miranda ‘fell short.’”
When one apologizes, one is not entitled to forgiveness or absolution.
Yeah, I don’t get it (and I don’t think I’m supposed to get it, and that’s fine).
As for Léon, who has rightly been credited with sparking this very necessary conversation, in response to Manuel’s apology, she simply stated: “For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will…
I swear Americans don’t have enough real issues in their lives.
LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.
Robert Downey Jr earned my stamp of approval. (That movie is funny as hell)
That’s the joke. It was also mocking the extreme method actors.
Just wanted to say Robert Downey Jr character, while controversial, isn’t blackface. Hell, he barely looked black in the first place. But I guess you hate the movies like watermelon man where a black man played a white man who turns into a white man?
