Yep. And the nature of the internet/social media just make it more prevalent and easier for keyboard racists to hide, exploit, and terrorize people...

It would be a lot worse. Just think about all the hate focused on most darker skinned black women of any notoriety - the insults to Michelle Obama, her daughters and the Williams sisters comes to mind...

Correction: The Atlanta Child Murders occurred between 1979-1981.

But.... why...? What has Tiger done other than play golf (one of the greats), ignore racism, cheat on his wife, distance himself from the Black community as a whole, trash his public image and lose sponsors,.... hmmm, I think I’ve answered my own question...

Sure, it wasn’t “earned” but my 9 year old daughter LOVED it! I think that’s what’s important here... :)

Exactly - new learning opportunities, meeting new friends/expanding social circle beyond school and family, new life experiences and of course reducing opportunities for teen pregnancy, drug use, teen violence, and spending too much time being isolated from peers doing constructive activities... Extracurriculars are…

Fair point

Not to argue your point, but isn’t all gambling a scam? I mean, as the saying goes “the house always wins.” Right?

And it wasn’t an overnight process. This has been happening slowly over the past 20 years, back when the empowerment zones were in effect...

Yep.

Ha! I wouldn’t go quite that far, but I do like some Dukes on a sandwich...!

Well hopefully, she/her production company will have the leverage to produce more than 8 episodes a season going forward. I think part of the reason last season felt to half-baked was because they didn’t have enough time for the narrative to breathe and move forward. It felt like a series of vignettes rather than a…

Good points. Thank you for that. I honestly thought that she’d exhibited some of those characteristics in the first season, but perhaps not. It’s been a while since I’ve watched those episodes...

I always read Frankie as someplace on the autism spectrum? So, I chalked it up to being a combination of that, being a full-on hormonal teen, and following the pattern set forth by her sister...

Thank you! It is great to read a comment from someone who actually read the original work and can appreciate the nuances of positioning Bigger in a contemporary setting. “His lack of self-awareness and inability to think critically in a world where black men must always be hyper-alert make him less sympathetic” --…

Have you seen the film to determine if/how the contemporary setting addresses this issue or are you basing your thoughts on the infor from the review above?

So, Vikram, what’s the next show you’re reviewing? Or are you done with reviews? Thanks for your work!

They aren’t saying anything because none of them are getting much work these days...I mean Robin was on The Mentalist (cancelled) for several years and a few small films, Neve did a season of House of Cards (cancelled), and Fairuza’s last significant work was on a season of Ray Donovan several years ago.

That is completely insane! Building security should have already known you were there and why and someone from the FBI office should have confirmed your ID and ushered you in. No one had any reason to question you trying to do your job - sorry this happened to you.
