Harvey just specifically denied Salma’s account like he did with Lupita. How is his lawyer or publicist that damn stupid to realize that going out of his way to specifically deny assaulting Black and Brown women but not white women is a big, flashing sign that screams racist asshole.

There were always rumors that Tavis treated women like shit (although I never heard that he was a pervert in addition to being a misogynist). Remember when he shut down Michelle Obama from his State of the Black Union in 2008? Over the years he has said and done a lot of little, petty things to women. PBS was running…

My hope is that Perez starts backing more Black women as candidates. Voter suppression is a giant obstacle but Black women, especially religious moderate Dems, could be competitive in much of the deep South (especially MS when you look at the demographics) despite the hardcore racism.

Have you noticed that so many of the white Bernie types bring up Nina or Killer Mike like white folks who proclaim “but I have a Black friend.” In a recent Splinter article the very first part of the interview involves the white journalist telling the other white journalist “congratulations on Killer Mike being a fan.”

I agree with all of this. Also, I can’t with the same old, same old coming from that crowd about how a socialist populist or whatever would have won by more points in Alabama. I sincerely wonder if they are delusional if they believe that Alabama, the reddest state full of bigots who are insanely anti choice, would…

Yep. I wasn’t necessarily surprised that Salma, a woman from an extremely wealthy Mexican Lebanese family, was dismissive of a Black woman’s viewpoint. She said a few things over the years that made me think she wasn’t exactly great on class and race, although to be fair (and depressing) she was still better than most…

I’m worried as a large part of the Bernie crowd keeps pushing hard for caucuses. I don’t understand how the Berniecrats can keep bleating that it’s more fair when voter turnout is consistently lower in states that hold caucuses and many folks can’t take that much time off to hang out at a fucking YMCA. Hell, there…

Going hard for CHIPs is going to help Doug right off the bat. I hope he pushes hard against voter suppression, too. All the stories about how cops were showing up at voting stations in majority Black counties....fucking infuriating.

Preach. I’m also cackling because I never, ever thought I’d love Don Lemon so much but man had an awakening and is now a glorious give no fucks, petty, truth teller who does not hesitate to come for Mango Mussolini.

Poor sweet child. I can’t imagine dealing with that type of grief and trying to plan a funeral.

I’m shocked people are shocked and angry about this since that is how Netflix stays in business (tracking what shows/films are popular to see if they should renew/buy more films in a particular vein). The Crown is an expensive TV show and I doubt they would renew it if they didn’t realize that it had a ton of viewers…

I chickened out and deleted my post since the other time I went off on context and why white progressives are alienating the hell out of a lot of 30+ Black and (POC in general) progressives and liberals I was inundated by trolls. Still find it sadly hilarious that so many white progressives are pulling the equivalent…

Something similar happened in my high school when a racist white girl starting running her mouth off. Now my school was far from perfect (full of rich white kids and many were prone to white liberal racism) but when the bitch got more and more blatant with her racism the entire grade more or less shunned her ass. The…

I’m talking about politicians as a whole, such as mayoral races and congress to the state (where gerrymandering does have an influence; for example, a few months ago it was discovered that a state senator from North Carolina had his house included in a changed map). I wasn’t strictly talking about other US senators,…

Alabama is gonna Alabama, agree with that, but my fear is the far right politicians from the Deep Red states might take a Moore win as encouragement. I know it’s heavily tilted towards Dems for the most part but places like Alabama, Texas, much of Mississippi outside of the major cities, etc. are gerrymandered to…

Moore terrifies me because I fear if he gets elected the right wing politicians will take it a sign they can swing even more right and espouse more racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. Sure, a few of them threatened to expel him but I don’t think that’ll happen.

He was so bad in that Fantastic Beasts film that my friend actually shrieked with laughter. I can’t believe they went from Colin, who killed it, to him in the last few minutes.

I couldn’t really see her Blackness in Hello Dolly, but after seeing other photos and another film with Carol Channing I was like “I bet she was passing” before she even said she was one of us.
