Thank you. He needs to work on his obvious issues with black women at least before we start the hype machine.
Yea and before that Will Smith.
I just can’t let you forget about Prince Rogers Nelson, who, during one spectacular week in 1984, had the Number 1 Album, Number 1 Song, and Number 1 Movie in America—all while Ben Vereen was doing blackface for Ronald Reagan.
... I believe that the place in pop culture in which Donald Glover exists has never been occupied...
I can’t speak about other people’s opinions, but I can say for myself that I absolutely give the stink eye to Black men who want to further Black men only, and talk Black while sleeping white, no matter who they are. I know for a fact about Douglass and Belafonte’s shittiness towards Black women, but I don’t have much…
Please, no man who disdains (fully) Black women, has an Asian fetish, and loves himself some white women can be described as unimpeachably Black, ever. He is just some weird little guy who has a good tv show and also makes ok music...but should realize he is not a singer and makes people uncomfortable trying so hard…
It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…
Regardless of what you think about Glover can we all please agree he should keep his shirt on? Prince was sexy, he’s somehow skinny and fat at the same time.
There’s a difference between working for a customer you don’t particularly like (or even loath) vs publicly acting to prop up and celebrate them. More than that, because this isn’t just “a job” they have to deal with becoming a propaganda tool for a politician who supports legislature that may directly seek to negate…
Forced labor is not a good look for a supposedly “free country.”
I hope they do “Springtime for Hitler.”
“Forcing dozens of women to go and perform for this man is without a question going to be problematic.”
What exactly (other than to sow doubt and as more of that soft racism they are so fond of) is the purpose of releasing college transcripts and why do the Republicans keep demanding it when they won’t release this?
Yes, I’m not sure what the shaming surrounding people utilizing social programs designed to level the playing field/provide needed support is. Can’t bootstrap if you have no shoes.
That’s the logical conclusion yes. But to think like a Trump supporter you need to add some bigotry, fear mongering and entitlement and then you’ll realize that affirmative action is just taking things from hard working white people and giving it to black people who don’t deserve it because black people get to have…
Look at the stars. See how they shine for you.
Even if he was an affirmative action admission all it would prove is that affirmative action kicks ass and is worth the investment, because we got Barack Freaking Obama out of it.
