The funny thing is how it’s stereotypically women who are picky but in reality I’ve seen it’s actually the other way around.

Ugh, why does it have to be a competition?

So, he “appropriated” ONLY rap and that’s it? He made a musical about a historical figure where instead of having an all white cast playing the all white historical figures, opened the roles to non-whites in a medium that is often dominated by white actors. Relit an interest in the American public on a lesser known…

I hate seeing this argument, and please excuse any of the snark I use; I’m not angry at you.

They are POCs but the wrong type of POCs.

See, I read this comment, and it’s really Exhibit A why if you’re privileged you just shouldn’t ever say anything on these topics.

I’m not surprised that many white liberals have been silent about this:

I don’t think Michael Caine’s statements were outrageous. Lee Daniels has also publicly stated that the work has to be there. It’s a similar debate to voting for/requiring mandates on business boards or in parliaments of women simply because they are women. In actuality, there is a huge problem with minority…

Seriously. I want to know how many of the people jumping on him are actual people of color versus how many are grandstanding whites who want to out-ally an obvious ally.

This is a rare feeling for me, but does he really deserve this level of vitriol? Like I get it, his tweets were incredibly naive and definitely speak to the cloud of privilege he must have lived in his entire life, but also the fact that he was disturbed by what he saw suggests to me that he has at least a shred of…

I’m not sure the Academy should be the primary focus here. In all the discussions, only 3 movies are named that starred minority actors that should have been considered. Straight out of Compton, Concussion and Beast of No Nation. That’s out of, what, a couple hundred movies released in 2015?

There’s poking fun and then there’s being an asshole. Gervais doesn’t know where that line is.

Real talk: Maybe I’m a monster, but I don’t feel awful about rolling my eyes, this is just special snowflake syndrome rearing its head again. It’s impossible and unsustainable to cater to all diseases and disabilities and super specific differences in the appearance of humans. Children’s parents should explain that to…

I’m sorry (not really) but people’s gun-boners in this country are ridiculous. “We don’t have to be a country of fear”? Fear is what’s selling those guns & that’s how the NRA likes it. Sales spike after every mass shooting. No ones trying to take EVERYONE’S guns away. They’re just trying to make it a little harder for…

Monotheism is like Android OS, a fragmented world full of confused/passionate users.

I actually like hearing about people’s style because to me that is the point of a red carpet. Trying to have deep and in-depth conversations with an actor who is entering an awards show/event with 1,000s of other people in one small area makes little sense to me.

As a Muslim woman who has never worn hijab and never will I don’t really understand this. Isn’t covering up supposed to prove your modesty and keep you from attracting attention? How does a crystal embellished tent do that? Just one of the many ways in which religious people pretend to follow tradition while doing…

Ignored? Apparently nobody here has ever been to a mall in Dubai. There is a *huge* high-end designer market for Muslim women outside the West.

from my perspective, it’s always the same comment: two things can be true at the same time in our reality.

Yeah. Get rid of those immigrants! After all, name just one time where large groups of Germans got together violently in the streets before this sort of immigration.
