Black people have survived slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, and continued discrimination. What are you even talking about? Black people are here, trying to live their lives. What they’re not doing is staying silent about the discrimination they face - which you seem to think would help. I don’t. It won’t go away if no one…

If you get paid less than your white co-worker, or not hired at all, that affects you. You’re an interesting black person if racism hasn’t been a hurdle to overcome in your life if you’ve reached adulthood. For most black people, it manifests itself in childhood - in how people are treated in every aspect of life. A…

How is a black person responsible for how they’re treated by racists? There is literally no “correct” way to act to avoid it. So please tell me how you are personally responsible enough to avoid the repercussions of racism in our society today.

With that voice? A bad voice is an absolute deal killer.

I thought it was Outlander people attacking him because he keeps bursting their bubble by repeatedly stating that the two leads are not dating. (I don’t know how he became entwined into the Outlander, or Supernatural for that matter, fandoms.) Or, it’s about him not liking a particular Outlander ship, so that makes…

He’s nowhere near tough enough to be Bond. He comes across as a pleaser. I could see him in the Bond universe as like a smarmy villain or somone in MI5, but not as Bond. I’m with Barbara Broccoli on this.

Didn’t he reveal his racism when he acted a fool in the Walgreens on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and got arrested? Like years ago?

I personally don’t like the qualifiers around abortion. Whether you’d have one or not is your own business, but it doesn’t matter to anyone else. IMO, it’s a morally neutral thing that people don’t have to raise their hand about, because it’s a purely personal choice. Even qualifying the idea gives credence to the…

This situation is unfortunate. I’m sorry he didn’t make it. However, the reaction to this whole thing further emphasizes that some people are important, and some people aren’t. People who either said nothing, or joined in on calling Trayvon Martin a thug, or said that Tamir Rice should have known better - are…

Prisoners are deprived of water, scalded with water so their flesh comes off, strapped to chairs and Tased to death. In the US. With prisons facing no consequences for this, either legally, or in the court of public opinion.

The women in films have to be 10x as hot as the men, at every age. 

The kid in one of his movies that always features a kid in peril - was a black girl. Whom he sought out for the role. In part as an homage to his own daughter.

I hate to seem like I’m fangirling Spielberg, but I do see him using his power as an artist to diversify the pop culture. Here’s an example -

How is she an ally to black women if she erases them?

It’s more of a reaping what one sows thing. I’m not the one creating the climate that created the shooter. Scalise ACTIVELY is doing so.

It’s kind of like Marina Abramović calling out Jay-Z for “using her” and not making a promised donation - only to find out that he did make the donation. However, she ran her mouth and pointedly criticized him, and NEVER APOLOGIZED. Her foundation gave a mealy mouthed apology TO HER and to him, but she didn’t…

How did Spielberg contribute to sexism in Hollywood when 30 years ago he directed a primarily black cast headed by black women? These days black actors in films aren’t even put on posters in overseas markets - but 35 years ago, Mr. Jaws and Indiana Jones was the problem when he lent his cachet to that film? I’m just…

The reason I asked is because violence or injustice towards minorities is often viewed as natural and par for the course (thus enabling it), while when it happens to white people, all of a sudden it’s terrible or “two wrongs don’t make a right.” That kind of thinking perpetuates the current state of affairs.

Let me stop you here and ask — Why do you”I know, I know...” about the threats towards Obama?
