"Militant light skinned" trope.

1.) Gina Torres is gorgeous. 2.) I need to see this reunion. 3.) Repeat #1 and #2 over.

Oh, Jayne.

This image is magnificent.

Oh my god, stop! I can't want children. Stop making me want children.

That is the best one.

If Vamp!Bella took apart Human!Ed's engine people would think that she was a crazy stalker. If Edward were to put his life in danger in order to get visions of Bella he would be seen as pathetic. Edward would not be seen as romantic. Cut the gender swapping bullshit. The characters' relationship is ridiculous no…

That's exactly what I did. Then I was worried that I might miss some of his accent, so I sat through it in wild hopes. Oh, Idris.

Best news I've gotten today. Well, second best.

My grandmother, who is 76, still has her receipt for when she had to pay the poll tax to vote. She wasn't allowed to vote without discriminating racial practices. I wasn't able to vote in the 2004 election because I was 3 months shy of 18. The first time I voted for President was for Pres. Obama. I will always vote…

I'm so pissed about the Tigers. I'm just going to listen to "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" until I fall asleep from the rage.

Also, a Nina Simone biopic caters to a particular audience that I don't believe would be too swayed either way when it comes to the lead role casting. I don't know many people who would say, "I don't have any interest in Nina Simone, but I would love to see Zoe Saldana covered with prosthetics!" Most people will be…

I think it's incredibly disingenuous for people to act like they don't understand the criticism for this decision. It's not faulty to notice this and not be pleased. This isn't a step forward when the vast majority of black women are either portrayed by (black) biracial or lighter skinned women. That's not saying that…

I think I got an award (or something) for this in 9th grade. I was in JROTC and we had to do it. I probably couldn't do one pull up to save anyone at 26, but at 14-16 I could do at least 10. I was a warrior goddess with a C-cup bra and a six pack.

1.) The Power of One had a major impact on me as a child. Took me years to watch Keifer Sutherland in anything because of A Time to Kill and Eye for an Eye. This same phenomenon is partially why I haven't watched Daniel Craig's Bond.

I feel bad for the Native people standing in the back, being subjected to such pale bottomed gaiety.

Oooh, baby, I love you.

This reminds me of when I was in undergrad and carpooled to work with a group of my white peers. If the radio was on there was so much "Are you ok with this music?" going on almost every day. Let's not get started on the white guys who wanted to know how to talk to black girls.

Of course we don't walk away thinking that. We're clearly thinking, "She be gettin' us, yo."

This was my first and only thought.
