Let's just keep this around for the next time we get a "The new pope said something marginally less insulting about gay people! HOORAY!" story.

That wasn't the plot of Philadelphia at all.

The fact that she didn't refer to Sam as a "feller" or "colored" or at any point, leads me to suspect that maybe this IS Deen speaking under the guidance of some PR training.

Aw, mine was Delevinguez but it does lack a certain drunken carousing. Carachelle it is.

I just found out my disdain for May/December movie couples extends to gay movie couples as well!

I am going to keep trying to make 'Michelevingne' happen until it kills me (or, y'know, until they break up)...

You mean Paula Deen is walking around with a maybe boner?

I agree with you 99%, the 1% being the telenovela La Reina Del Sur. Although I'm not really sure it glorifies being a drug lord. Maybe it's because she's a woman but you see the journey she took to get there and it is fucking brutal. Plus that show writes women better than most US shows (she has more than one…

How the FUCK is this "weird and awesome" ????
This is the drug lord of a violent drug cartel. As an American of Mexican heritage, these drug cartels are the scourge of Mexico. They have taken a very rich and diverse country and in at least in a few regions have terrorized and killed hundreds of innocent people. All…

Close, and part of, but not altogether the reason.

Oh, you are so new. If you honestly think that the Black/Latin people who have been living in those neighborhoods for decades never complained to their aldermens and other district/city officials about the shitty conditions, then I have a lovely bridge to sell you. It connects Brooklyn to Manhattan and is quite…

That doesn't mean he loses his right an opinion. He grew up in the neighbourhood he's talking about.

Now cue the outrage from the white professional class Jezzies who just moved to Red Hook and like to brag to their friends at brunch how "vibrant" their neighborhood is but who have never talked to any of their neighbors who isn't also a white couple from Westchester.

To be honest as a young black Brooklyn girl born and raised i'm still on the fence about gentrification . For me its not about the "white" people moving in, its really about what happens when they move in which shows you just how racist New York City can be. Literally, the minute a white person moves into a…
