Hopefully we can navigate this wave of conscientious, Hollywood diversity lip-service and find our way to legitimate storytelling by, for and about black people. If not, I100% agree that a re-reemergence of blacksploitation is a real possibility, and is actually already coming soon to a theater near you...

I agree, like all too much science fiction the film has NO black women in speaking roles something I once critiqued Marvel & Star Wars films about. In an overall flawed entertainment system that’s unfortunately common

Roxanne Deschamps was a friend of their mother and the kids went to stay with her after their mother died. As soon as the shooting took place, she went to court and filed for control of their inheritance, which amounts to about $800,000.

Who does this who is over the age of 20?

Envy needs to let the 9.5" strap out his crusty azz, exhale and sit his bitchass down. Not sure how a person who so disrespected his wife can harass others for supposedly disrespecting her too. So, he can dish it all out but can’t take even a little. Desus & Mero’s follow up episode earlier today also had me laughing…

Gia was not there to speak for herself ...

My pleasure, thanks for asking. What made their marriage strong was the fact that they both had each other’s backs, even with supposed family who clearly didn’t. They were a couple who had both race and religion against them, and they definitely did not let either be a hurdle in their love for each other. I am…

There is a distressingly high number of WOC and POC who will not be able to comment here because Jez has banned them, without explanation or warning. The entire JezeRoot series is so controversial with the commenters at least in part because so many people will not be able to participate in anything that is posted to…

You are absolutely correct. I’ve noticed in general (not directed to the OP all at), giving it up to God has turned into “thoughts and prayers”. It’s easy and at times, a lazy way to deal with the problem. So when I see that being offered as the first suggestion, it irks me. I mean no offence to anyone’s beliefs.

His last record featured Kendrick, got buzz as an AOTY contender and he was featured on the Blank Panther soundtrack... featured on the last Gorillaz record. Has done features for Billy Eillish, Common, Ghostface Killah, Kali, GTA, and many others in the past few years. 2017 was the year he truly arrived— but I guess…

Actually, my parents cut them off for years when they were first married, but decided to “mend bridges” because my grandma was dying and wanted to have a relationship with the grand kids (my sister and me, but she died when my mom was pregnant with me). These were extended relatives who were trying to “poison the…

Vince Staples is hella talented. He did the song BagBak which was used for the Black Panther trailer, and also did the song Opps off the OST. I’m excited to see what he does in the future.

From past experiences, putting your faith in God as a cheater means you’re still a cheater and need your spirituality to not cheat. If someone cannot cheat on their own again shows m they are weak and use God as a handicap. .I don’t need someone to transcend being a typical human being, because the rest of us are…

I agree that he shouldn’t get a pass here, it’s a valid question that is worth fully examining. The problem is that most people don’t understand what “cultural appropriation” actually means as a sociology term, it’s largely become a buzzword, which is unfortunately fairly common with sociological terms, because they…

BREAKING: White Guy Continues To Fail Upward On Wave Of Hipster Bullshit

I’m calling it out as structural racism because that’s exactly what it is. It’s very easy for you to call out klansmen but you can’t call out your bigoted government officials, you still refuse to see the institutional nature of racism but you expect Ms. Mallory to call out someone who is a hell of a lot less powerful…

I don’t really fuck with Farrakhan, never did. Quite frankly, his brand of Black liberation doesn’t seem to include Black women and that’s a goddamn problem.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These are two trifling ass negroes and both of them can go fuck themselves.

Dani could’ve said she don’t want hire anyone with hammer toes in her house and that’s her prerogative. Those two ugly ass bros can go fuck themselves, starting shit for ratings. Correct me if I’m wrong but “pretty” ain’t a protected class of people and statistically, they have a better chance of getting hired than…
