also, most of those movements did not “win” mainstream support.

“Guys, it’s private property, you can’t do your protests there! Think of how inconvenient you are to shoppers! Why can’t these BLM people go off somewhere quiet and out of view and have respectable protests like civil rights fighters back in the 50s and 60s!”

You know what blew me away about all of those previews? As I sat through 20 minutes of them, basically all the same except for Zootopia and Fantastic Beasts, I thought: “Now no one is ever going to see these movies.” Next to Star Wars, they just look like student films from a student filmmaker with no ideas and way…

She’s not trying to change it, though. She’s saying that this interpretation is a valid one, even if she did imagine Hermione as white originally. It’s almost as if people don’t understand that once something becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist, it becomes open to interpretation. This is why there are so many…

I think it's pretty clear that she wrote Hermione as white and that she probably just didn't think too much about it as her whole worldview tends to be that of a white, British middle class person. I agree also that it makes no difference if the gal who plays her in the play is black. Rowling obviously doesn't care…

Yup teacher sounds totally reasonable here. Like nothing about this assignment sounds like it needed to be done in school. The only legit complaints would be from kids without access to computers or the internet, and I hope she’d accommodate those students.

“Good-Not-Extraordinary Voice”

While this was much longer than it needed to be, I swear it feels like every time a black writer that isn’t a Gawker Media employee writes something, the comment section is filled with people carrying on about how they can’t understand ANYTHING that was discussed.

So far, EVERY Superman movie has gotten Lex wrong (including you Richard Donner). Its a sad day when the best live action Lex was from Smallville...

This guy is right up there with this other guy:

Seriously? Again with the “and I don’t feel bad about” having advantages that other people can only dream of? Jeez. No one ever said you should feel bad about it. No one went on the offensive against your grandmother. This article is not a personal attack on you and your family’s liquid assets. Did you really feel…

never realizing that if Carol holding the same beliefs as the homicidal maniac is a bad thing.

I usually don’t root for the death of children onscreen, but I will shed no tears and grin a bit when Sam (PTSD and all) and probably Ron are almost surely killed when the show resumes. Their mom will likely die too and that’s sad as she did have a bit more sense, but that is the price she will pay for having two duds…

I hope James Baldwin’s ghost rises up to ether Don Lemon as he did William Buckley.

Yes, I’m well aware of the fact that over the years white Southerners have taken many, many, many things from black people. Labor. Life. Freedom. Even recipes.

Or will he just be goofy bad guy?

I loved “Raising Hope” he and Martha Plimpton had such a good dynamic

I just can’t believe it took this long. This post has been up for multiple minutes.

I am not seeing this Barry/Patty chemistry at all. Probably because I am just totally annoyed by Patty because she is such a forced character that may as well have the words “Felicity 2.0” stamped on her forehead. The show is trying too hard to get across the “Quirky Smart Hot Chick” thing with her and as a result I…
