Did I do thaaaat??

Let’s just hope he didn’t kill any more kids!

Nah bru, that’s why they keeping the pressure on us for 100's of years.

This is kind of heavy. This person has clearly been through a lot, was traumatized, and seemed to value his public service. It’s a shame he didn’t choose to live and use his insight and experience to help bring about the change he believed in.

I read the synopsis of the novella way back when this was first announced, and unless they completely changed the entire thing it won’t be.  It’s going to be heavy enough without adding colorism to it all as well.

The BigBad just better not be a dark-skinned Black woman.

Ok, for real, this dude’s story is so similar to that of my maternal grandfather’s people that it’s eerie! They had an Irish slave surname and were renowned Vaudevillians per what little is known about them in my mother’s family. What is known is that my grandfather was a charming-ass slickster storyteller (very much…

These sheep fucking shit eaters are the same people who live by the motto, “The beatings will continue until moral improves.”

“It seems to me like they furnished them a house to live in. They furnished them clothes to put on their back. They furnished them food to put on their table and all they had to do was fucking work. And now we give ‘em all those things and don’t have to fucking work,” Allmond says.

White people, racist, in America? YOU DON'T SAY?!!!

So the Bernie supporter who think his daughter’s hymen is his business also happens to be a sexual predator?

Obama: 1, BLM: 1, Trump: 0

White tears.

The people that fight to go to Applebee’s and Super Cuts during a pandemic are going to lose their shit over this.

That tv movie was not only every bit as significant as Roots, it was a precursor to that miniseries. And for most people at the time, it was the vehicle that introduced them to Cicely Tyson. I can still see in my mind the scene where she walks up to the water fountain and takes a drink.

My grandmother was 98, still walking around, talking to people, hanging out and being perfectly normal and stubborn. She only moved out of her house at 97 and that was the first year she didn’t have a garden - she decided that she didn’t feel like cooking anymore so went to a retirement home. Then bam, heart attack,…

I appreciate not everything she’s done in her 70 year career can be mentioned in one article, but was surprised not even a snippet about her award-winning guest turn in How to Get Away With Murder (and yet there was space to mention, ahem, Willow Smith’s music video?).

I mean that’s the thing about being 96 — you can be in great shape and it’s still really not surprising if one day you simply don’t wake up. May we all live as long and as well.
