I’m crying for some reason. Oh! Because Hollywood finally (at least in words) surprised me in a good way. 

I’m not being combative when I say I genuinely don’t think you’re hearing what I’m saying - the police caused a problem, and the National Guard is only here because of the response to the problem that the police created. Are you arguing against that? Maybe I was unclear, that’s what I mean when I say these two groups…

Also, like... Voting doesn’t actively hurt, so why not start there? If we extrapolate from Pascal’s wager, then if you do vote and it doesn’t work out, then you didn’t really lose anything; if you don’t vote and your vote (and those of others likely with that mindset) would have turned the tide, then you risk losing…

“Educate yourself” to me is hilarious, but providing bona fides on the internet is useless.

You do understand that almost all these riots started as peaceful protests until the police DECIDED to incite violence, right?

LVP is full of absolute shit. If any of her employees had said anything remotely derogatory against the LGBTQ+ community, they would have been fired in a second. Someone needs to teach LVP about intersectionality, stat!

What you called out is exactly the reason LMM doesn’t need to apologize. He’s been a champion and leader for this cause every day that he’s been a creator (and likely before). He doesn’t just talk about it, he supports this cause with his actions - not only this week, like most brands and creators, but every week.…

I mean, sure, vote. Surprisingly (?), voting hasn’t worked too much for us in the past, BUT my state is mailing all ballots in November, which should significantly help getting minorities who may not have the right documentation, or who are routinely turned away from voting for .skfdhj,khsj reason, to actually have…

Where are all the comments? Well, it’s a distressing week.

Yessss. Insecure is a FANTASTIC example of a show about black people that’s not necessarily about being black. Yes, blackness is embedded within their spirit, so it comes up in life as it always will for black people. But Issa just gets to live and learn and fuck up, and I love that.

Exactly! There are multiple references to slavery, it’s just not the prime topic of concern. Frankly, I’m glad it’s not. We POC just need a break sometimes, you know? I may get shit for saying it, but I’m tired of slave stories. I’m tired of watching movies like Queen and Slim. I want a movie with a black lead just…

Laughed out loud, thanks!

Right, but... Hamilton does address the slave trade. There’s a whole character dedicated to speaking to that. What it doesn’t do is harp on it, which I can see why that might be annoying, but consider that there were a lot of other things going on at the time that are being addressed, and one may expect that those…

Gotcha, thanks!

For whatever reason my sound isn’t working, but what is he actually apologizing for? There are people who need to take accountability right now, but I’m not remotely upset that LMM hasn’t said anything about it until now. I AM upset that workplaces are only now realizing they need to react to what’s going on, when…

I mean, it’s LITERALLY a black-washed version (all the actors except the king of England are black/hispanic, even in the touring casts), but I hear your point. Idk much about US History, but I didn’t realize the play “washed it down” to any degree, but I’m always interested in learning more if you can point me in the…

I’ve been obsessed with the Wade family since I saw Kaavia’s Instagram. I’m obsessed with that shady baby and how cute and shady she is. I hope my future chocolate drop will be the same.

Thank you for your polite response. I thought I was going to be torn apart for saying that.

It wasn’t fair of her to say Asian people only consider themselves POC when it suits them, but I understand where the feeling comes from - black women experience particular forms of racism that you don’t get to lecture them about just because you experience your own.

So proud of this young brother. I don’t listen to a drop of his music, but I don’t need to to see a young black man using the privilege he’s accrued to better himself. Phew, spread it around, Quavo!
