I want to give every one of those kids a huge hug - which they probably don’t want or need - and a monstrous slice of her checking account - which they deserve far more than she does.

Lemme stop y’all before a good portion of you start running your mouths in the comments about “Please don’t speculate because we have no evidence” and all that other extra special bullshit y’all seem to find to excuse whatever behavior or attitudes you seem wont to do. Miss me with all of that.

Donald Trump is a dumb fuck, he’s the worst of inadequate white men.

Blah, blah, blah Aretha Franklin is messy (and talented) as fuck. Lather, rinse, watch Got2BReal.

This kind of assumption also speaks to a media representation issue. Normally, the discussion is about who’s working behind the scenes, but this is also about whose stories are told. At a glance, it seems that if a black person is featured on tv, the story is one of two things: if it’s negative, it’s about depraved…

All *American* airlines. I just flew back from Asia this week on ANA. It was noticeable and almost disconcerting how much more pleasant the interactions with the flight staff were. The default attitude of staff on US carriers seems to be that of cranky substitute teachers who are just waiting for a student to try…

As a member of the rabid feminist from Stanford club, I apologize on behalf of my alma mater. Strangely, I never went to the women’s center either, mainly out of laziness, although I did take a few women’s studies classes.

FFS...what exactly would you suggest he do about the “issue” of his white mother?

Fuck you.

Ive just about given up on people. Everyone seems to love to bitch but cant be bothered to even do something as simple as voting. Good luck and hope you can prove me wrong.

I agree. It’s also super lazy. Why not write about why black lives matter or why the BLM movement is important. A hashtag means nothing and it means even less if you just repeat it 100 times with no context.

In 2011 England was 85,4% white; 7,8% asian; 3,5% black; 2,3% mixed and 1,0% other. Most black people will live in major cities, especially in London, so the percentage will be larger there, but if you are going for realism roles will be pretty limited even in contemporary fare (and pretty nonexistent in historical…

every actor I know has had training, and many continued to study long after they got a degree from a university (including myself). I wish the idea that American actors don’t do the work British actors do would go away.

But I’m tired of seeing them play Americans because Hollywood and New York don’t think any black American actors of their age group exist.

Ah, ok, you just proved my point perfectly.

It’s one of the all-time best performances, imo, just fearless and brilliant, but as you say, it’s very difficult to watch. Haneke is the director von Trier wishes he could be, incredible. Was lucky enough to see Code Inconnu with a special audience, very cool, and Cache is another fave, but Pianiste is in a class all…

I’m doing an internal monologue admonishing myself to not judge newly-disillusioned folk too harshly. America has NEVER been America to my black ass. We done TOLD y’all! Now....NOW?!...you starting to believe it?

I’d start by disowning any friends and family you have who have ever voted Republican

Texas may be red, but Dallas—like a lot of large Texas cities—is blue.

Like every other large city in texas, dallas was solidly blue in the last election. Urban areas vote democrat, even in the south.
