GRIMM’s racial tropes make me cringe, especially Dany’s white savior bit and the racist “all Brown folks are exotic licentious” crap trope in Dorne...but the TV series is 100x worse (and as the poster below notes at least GRIMM somewhat dials back the white savior bit). It sucks that the TV creators screwed up Dorne…

McQueen has a film called Widows in post-production with Viola, Liam Neeson, Daniel Kaluuya, Colin Farrell, and a host of other big actors. Apparently it took a few years to get the project together for a few reasons, and I highly suspect one of them is various racist executives hesitating to green light a film for a…

Ha, people acted like I said kicking a puppy was fun when I once made a comment on i09 that Rowling’s romanticizing of Severus Snape, who apparently was the equivalent of an upper ranked member of the magical KKK, was incredibly fucked up (and yes, I know he’s supposed to be the anti-hero but in the epilogue and…

You hit it on the head. Hell, in Harry Potter all but one of the POC characters are viewed in some cliche, stereotypical way and none happen to be major characters either. It’s a pattern that occurs again and again in fantasy and science fiction, with the rare exceptions when it comes to famous authors like Neil…

Meh, CDAN is notorious for making up 97% of their shit. NYDN busted them a few years ago. My guess is they constructed a blind around him based on some of his co-workers saying shady things or implying that he was an ass.

Is most of the public calling for hard left progressives? Many of the Bernie guys lost (MT, Mello, etc). The center-left former Army vet. Northam who supports some big progressive policies (and who Bernie didn’t endorse and Our Revolution sent out an email slamming the DNC the day before the election) and an ex-GS…

Except Lee Fang, the Berniest of Bernie Bros, even disputed this account of the Dems not doing anything for Carter. The Dems donated 13k immediately after the Richmond Dispatch article was published. Moreover, from Day 1 a group run by former Obama alums was Carter’s biggest donor and knocking on doors, etc. for him.

Sure, it’s not much support but it is fucked up that the Jacobin journalist said they did absolutely nothing, those was her own words, and refused to change/delete the tweet even when other progressive writers called her out and a few other journalists that picked up on her tweet with false information.

Alright, and I might have let my annoyance of a couple of Jacobin writers (one who more or less equated Northam with Gillespie, the other who cited an article that the Dems did nothing to help Carter even though they ponied up some cash after their lack of support was pointed out in the previously mentioned local news…

Northam has some big fucking flaws (sanctuary city fuck up when they don’t even exist in VA, W., and not calling out the group that airbrushed Fairfax immediately) but I really don’t understand this lukewarm take from Rose twitter who stans for a guy who voted five times against the Brady BIll that the man who has an…

How is being for a $15 minimum wage (doubling the current min. wage in VA), decriminalizing weed, banning assault rifles, free community college, a F grade from the NRA, and being very strong on abortion rights make him a moderate?

Northam wants a $15 minimum wage, free community college, a ban on assault rifles, and to decriminalize pot. He also is very supportive of abortion rights and has a F rating from the NRA.

Problem is few of the opinion writers, etc. are going to admit that the far left, the reg. left, and the center-left are mostly acting like temper tantrum throwing children who can not seem to grasp the concept of compromising in their own damn party. Not only that, hurt feelings result in some lashing out more at…

Juan Diego Botto is fine as hell. Someone needs to fix his wikipedia page (I looked him up after binging the first season) because his pic there is awful.

Love Thor Ragnarok but Pine is also my favorite Chris even if Hemsworth is a meal.

The thing is I don’t see that many people trying to prop up W. as a good guy or rehabilitate him. It seems more like media spin of a few columnists having their pieces been spread far and wide than anything else.

It looks like she is making a fist and he’s holding the front of her fist....I’d like to imagine though that his hand is so tiny that her hand can hold and hide it.

I mean, I agree that you are correct that in that pic he looks biracial and Black folks underplaying their Blackness and/or trying to look like they aren’t Black are full of self-hatred.

I was also disappointed by this piece. He seems fascinated on a superficial level by his own ability to pass rather than exploring the societal implications of passing in a multiracial and white environment and the different types of racism he experienced (so he wasn’t thought of as a gangbanger like the Samoans, but…

The fact that she pulled this shit just a week before the major election in VA where Ed fucking Gillespie, who is one step from donning a damn hood, has a legitimate shot at winning is infuriating. She wants to sell her damn book, misrepresent facts, and be thirsty AF....she wouldn’t be the first. But to do it now is…
