That and they are way cheaper to hire than American actors. WAY CHEAPER. For example for Star Wars: The Force Awakens John Boyega was paid a reportedly $100,000-$300,000. Oscar Issac who had less screen time was paid three times as much.

I’m talking about in the industry, with the casting process. It is definitely A Thing.

Anthony Mackie too! He went to Juilliard. And while he isn’t black, Oscar Isaac was also classically trained at Juilliard and had to change his name (dropped the Hernandez at the end) to be more white just so he wouldn’t get type cast.

You are perpetuating a stereotype. Adele may speak Estuary English. David Oleyowo and Thandie Newton do not.

Ah, ok, you just proved my point perfectly.

I have seen more than a few “why Jesus picked Trump” posts from folks I assumed had all their faculties. Not so much. These people will never learn though. They act like the Bush Jr. admin never happened and life started when Obama became president.

Christians are persecuted? I don’t see swastikas being spray painted on churches or crosses being burned in their yards en masse. Meanwhile, a Jewish Center near Virginia Tech where my friend teaches was littered with Nazi-themed leaflets and Jewish cemeteries are being decimated. And that’s to say nothing of the…

I know, I was just poking fun.

Damn it. I knew I was doing this mom thing all wrong. I’ve been a mom for more than six years now, and never a single craving to wear a cocktail dress at any time of day.

Am I the only person who thinks that, essentially, we’re trading in one form of idealized womanhood for a different type of idealized womanhood and calling it Feminism? Like, not everyone is fierce and independent and resourceful; otherwise, these characters wouldn’t be role models.

This is way, way more sinister than that. Rallies provide Trump the opportunity to speak directly to supporters without the press acting as an intermediary (and the fact-checking that comes along with it). It’s part of the autocrat’s playbook.

These are all solid points, and not a single one of them would matter to a flat-earther. In fact, they wouldn’t even be listening and considering your points, they’d just be waiting to hear you stop talking so they could say, “WELL YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT...” followed by something incredibly ridiculous that the average…

Trump was sworn in as president 2 full months ago. He was elected to the office two and a half months prior to that. I think there’s a statute of limitations as to how many victory laps a person can take, no?

I was saying that about the GOP years before Trump was elected. A party that ruins its own country in order to gain power, influence and wealth is the very definition of traitor.

These motherfuckers are all a bunch of traitors.

They credit and use samples with permission from the artists, many times with that artist’s involvement. What gave you the idea that they weren’t crediting the original artists?

You know a video is going to be good, even before starting, when the image behind the play button is Barry Manilow!

I found myself wanting to find those original songs.

If I’m a bully perpetuating “ad hominem attacks” for calling the belief that the earth is flat, “stupid...”
