Thanks for being the brave soul that spoke up first. You are the light.

It was a garbage movie that was weirdly effective due to the chemistry of its excellent cast. Which is why it was entirely predictable that the remake would suck harder than a Dyson.

...white people are fully aware of the microaggresions they dole out...I don’t believe in the concept of “microaggresions” - in this case, and just about every other example that I’ve ever seen, it’s actual outright aggression. Prepending “micro” sells the problem short for the sake of buzz-wordy marketing.

brilliant comment. if i taught a US history class, i’d show this video and make the students weigh your comment against all the other noise. it’s nice to see some sense emerge from the steady flow of lies and bullshit. kudos to you!

I personally use the very system created against them. For things like that I would file a police report. Press charges. String them up via the legal system. The very noose they created ensnare minorities, I use it to hang them.

At what point does it stop, at what point does the constant denigration of other races stop? Does it always have to go the way of extreme violence in the name of “preserving our way of life”? It’s a very tired old trope but can we not just get along? Or are we forced because of ideas crammed into our feeble minds…

As a white person: White people are stupid and entitled and I find videos like this really embarrassing.

As a white guy, I only see one person at fault—the person who couldn’t figure out when to keep her mouth shut. By repeatedly and deliberately getting under his skin, and basically rubbing salt in a very deep wound, she got exactly what she was asking for. Can’t be bothered to extend the slightest bit of decency to a…

Let it be known (although I still don’t support men hitting women for whatever reason, obvs so this is more general, less about this situation specifically).

This is what white people do, everyday in large and small ways to PoC. They antagonize and antagonize and antagonize you, it gives them a sense of false worth to feel better than. It’s their whole persona, being “better than”. “I may be poor, but at least I ain’t a nigger!” White people are fully aware of the…

Wonder if this is the real reason or just a more palatable excuse than “fighting a woman now would remind everyone I’m a wife-beater.”

I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 34, after two decades of varying healthy issues. Just brutal. My kids are luckier and already have diagnosed anxiety disorders. Which I guess isn’t totally lucky, but the point is that they have had access to all sorts of early intervention.

Lexapro is a godsend.

I keep losing my password! Leave me alone!!!

This is my concern too. How accurate can a White person’s imaginings of Black experience be? And isn’t the risk of misrepresentation of that experience important in deciding who should write about what?

I also think it’s highly problematic that the judges of whether or not a White author captured an authentic Black (or…

So if white writers were to avoid writing about people of other cultures, genders and communities, would that be a good thing? To essentially tell them to take care to whitewash their work even more so than ever before? Movies, television and other arts are inspired by writing. If you think Hollywood so white now,…

are you trying to seduce me??

i’d set my watch and warrant on it.

i have seen reporters literally throw up their hands in the ‘come the fuck ON’ pose at spicer, and i suspect a fair number of shots where you only see the backs of journalists’ heads would reveal eye rolls if you reversed the camera

Instead of making the bizarre comparison to other (male) members of the Trump Administration, consider the fact that no administration in recent history has lied with the frequency and audaciousness of the Trump administration.

Because sometimes an eye roll at bullshit is just an eye roll at bullshit
