This article really seems to be sending me the message that Deadline is the place to turn for entertainment news, not The AV Club. Hey, maybe I could even comment on there without all my goddamn posts being sent to some grey Kinja purgatory where nobody will see ‘em!

Kinja Deals, A LOT of Handmaid’s Tale posts, and on Monday you’ll get 10 Westworld “think” pieces.

We need to maximize space for Kinja deals. These second-hand write-ups about cultural ephemera from days and weeks ago aren’t gonna pay for themselves.

I don’t get why you guys are pushing so much of the pop culture news of the day into one article? Isn’t this a pop-culture website?

They abolished slavery in name only. Go ask the people of India about that one.

And yet what does it say that we fought a bloody war and sacrificed many lives to END slavery.

Has it ever dawned on you that we don’t actually agree with you. That “white people” are not homogeneous as you claim “black people” are with one another. In our culture, one sibling doesn’t agree with another, let alone another white guy. Fact: we’re built on individualism; African cultures are built on community. We…

“Despite the similarities between 1933 Germany and 2018 America”

>Until all white people do and say something, people in power will always be able to point to the silent majority and say that no one cares about racism or inequality. Ultimately, whiteness affords them the right to remain silent.

If white people are evil, black people are evil too.

A dissenting view, with all due respect.

I like how sweeping generalizations and blatantly racist remarks are okay, as long as they’re about white people. This will definitely enlighten white people and make them sympathetic to your cause.

probably the biggest example of this fetishization could be Fight Club...

I’d go with “The Big Sleep” as the noir inspiration, but I’m with you.

When I first saw it, I remember thinking that it’s basically The Maltese Falcon, except everyone is a buffoon. It’s more than that, of course, but that’s the underpinning of it.
