I call bullshit on this. Does the comparative lack of meaty roles for persons of color and the fact that fewer of them are given the writing and directing opportunities than their white peers mean that there will always be fewer persons of color up for consideration? Yes, absolutely. But that doesn’t mean the Academy…

It felt skeevy as fuck when he was announced as the host; a man of colour performing on a stage to an audience of mostly rich white people at an awards show where they overlooked people of colour in order to recognise mediocre white folks? That harkens back way too much to minstrel shows for me. I am so looking…

A lot of people of colour deserving of nominations did not get them. A lot of white people undeserving of nominations got them. And there is already very slim pickings for artists of colour in Hollywood. The system is rigged against people of colour and the Academy made clear oversights.

Quite a few successful Hollywood actors- of colour and white alike- are boycotting the Oscars. They are (unsurprisingly) being very quiet and cautious, but don’t be shocked if there’s an outspoken and massive movement against the Academy Awards within the next year. Shit’s getting real, y’all.

This case is even more horrific than it’s being presented as here. The kind of FC Stubblefield practices has been extensively and consistently disproven (ie, in multiple reproducible studies, if conflicting information is presented to the facilitator and the patient, 100% of the time the FC will express the info given…

Abstaining from sex with clients is a solid idea for most everyone, except where it’s specifically in the job description.

I think it’s just best to accept that the prequels happened and move forward.

“At the end of the day, he was like, ‘Shit, I feel stressed,’” says Irwin. “He’s like, ‘You guys ever look up shit on the Internet?’ We’re like, ‘What type of shit?’ He’s like, ‘Girl stuff, like, hot girls dancing.’ So he goes on YouTube and writes ‘hot chicks dancing’ in the search. And we sat there watching hot…

2015 was a stupid, garbage year. Lets just regroup and do better next year. And when I say do better, I mean if Ted Cruz or Donald Trump gets elected, I am pulling this car over and everyone has to walk home from here.

No, she means the general population being unable to differentiate between a joke that pokes fun at the asshole vs. a joke made at the expense of an entire group of people because the joke deals with race in some manner.

The dad is hysterical. I liked that they weren’t poking fun at Native Americans - quite the opposite. They were in on the joke and the parents were shown to be caring, hardworking, smart people. Jacqueline was the misguided, rude character.

Regardless of the rest of the whole thing, Jackie’s father was awesome.

I feel I should preface this comment by saying I’m a Canadian expat with permanent residency in Australia where I’ve been living for five and a half years.

That’s not strictly true anymore. Thanks to legal challenges, courts have ordered the gov’t to tell US citizens that they are on the list. Citizens also have the opportunity to petition for removal, and to file a request to find out why they were placed on the list. Not to say it’s a perfect process but it isn’t a…

Okay then. How about we start with THIS open list: Everyone. No favoritism; no discrimination. America, whining spoiled toddler that it is, can’t play responsibly with its 300 million plus dangerous toys. So all the toys go Bye-Bye while we all get an extended time out in the Naughty Corner to reflect on our bad…

Someone recently noted the low quality of the weekend trolls. So right.

There very well be mental illness at play here. But mental illness doesn’t equal violence. Plus, as Obama noted a few years ago, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental illness. We sadly aren’t even the only country with widespread white male privilege and national political figures who spew out hateful rhetoric that…

I hope he gets all of it.
