If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. The solution is to stop treating education like a merger & acquisition problem and actually try to educate the kids. That includes paying a living wage to attract dedicated professionals.

That’s just ignorant. A huge chunk of my college classmates have devoted their professional careers to educating young people, young people of color in particular. They make the same low wages and work the same long hours and our sainted white brethren. Black people are no less committed to developing the next…

You don’t need to read at your age level to get shot by the police. Sorry, “inadvertently” shot by the police.

Given how big budget features are now made almost exclusively for the Chinese market and financed with foreign, usually Chinese money, it would make perfect sense for Hollywood to shoot itself in the dick and go out of its way to not put a Chinese actor in a huge movie based on a Chinese folk tale.

What’s better - to receive a coveted accolade or to be overlooked for such an accolade then go on to display talent so prodigious, so ineffably transcendent that it renders the notion of peer competition moot?

Wait, “footballing bird of paradise?” “Out of his Vulcan mind.” Holy shit that’s amazing.

I KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING! WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?!!!!

Racism doesn’t really bother you. We get it. Get on with your life.

Me not really rocking with most white folks don’t make Rachel McAdams any less fine.

Let’s just wait for an important white person to explain why this isn’t racist. That way we’ll know what the right answer is.

Your failure to comprehend something doesn’t make it idiotic, and people like you being pointlessly insulting to strangers is what’s wrong with the internet.

No-lip having bastard.

She already did; nine years ago when she was Beyonce.

Future Real Housewives of Detroit “star”.

Missed the point AND needlessly insulting. Well done.

Why does he need to paint his face if he’s copying the pose from a specific poster from a specific movie? No one is going to mistake him for Margot Robbie in that poster. They can get that he’s Will Smith without the face paint, especially as he is specifically known in Japan for somehow looking like Will Smith.

An impersonation would be him doing the running man in a black suit and shades or punching an alien in the face while chomping a cigar. He’s just in blackface which means there’s nothing about him in particular, not even the context of the photo, that says he’s Will Smith, explicitly.

Precisely my point. Just because the word has a different connotation in the UK doesn’t mean I can call a cashier at a Wal-Mart in Kansas City a “cunt” and go, “Oh, that’s not how I meant it. I wasn’t trying to offend you.” She’s still going to be good and pissed and rightfully so.

Get a haircut, hippie!
