Yeah, I forgot to change it out.

People from the light side, medium side, and dark side need space to state their peace. When you go opposition like them light folks are the problem for something they did not create mind you nor did they select their hue based on how it would benefit them in life. I was called a white nigger by a Mexican woman last…

Most people who celebrate dark women usually have a very narrow aesthetic for what’s beautiful.

Colorism is gendered. However, dark skin boys go through the same hell as dark skin girls. The politics change of course when the two groups mature and dark boys are sought after and fetishized.

We want our speech to sound like we have had some college.

From the top down they have no incentive not to be exclusionary. Film being elusive and elitist makes the process of incorporating the discriminated slow without significant systemic shifting.

Surviving R Kelly is a double edged sword. While demonizing him for his unpunished private and public misdeeds it also explores his popularity in music and those unfamiliar with his records are now curious and those of us who remember everything he did artistically are driven by nostalgia to re-listen not in support…

All I want from award season is a Glenn Close coronation come Oscar night and I believe the Globes have set her up for one.

Jay Z and Foxy Brown.

She is no longer estranged from her daughter. And I believe every critical word Rebecca has ever offered up on her mother.

Alice Walker has no hesitation taking the unpopular path on just about any subject. She has for much of her life been in opposition to respectful expectations based on her class, race, and gender. I am not defending her personal beliefs on this particular matter but framing an understanding of why she goes off the…

Thank God it isn’t just me. Didn’t know who to talk to about their system. Btw if you have the luxury of living in NY or LA please see Beale Street in limited release. Now one of my top three of the year.

This is an Eddie Murphy reference.

Shame on you for not knowing this Eddie Murphy reference.

Well according to Jacqueline he really knows how to move his ass.

Notice Emily Blunt was nominated twice by them which means she had a decent consensus in her corner this year. They were also in her corner two years ago for a movie which got horrible reviews instead of Isabelle Huppert in Elle or Ruth Negga in Loving. And the idea that Barry Jenkins’ work doesn’t necessarily…

Easy. American racism isn’t about what you are but how you’re visually perceived. The Spanish language, accents, and names registers to the white ruling class as Latin.

It might be the gay talking but I love men and their dirty laundry because I’m all about that Pick Me life.

She’s Spanish which reads as Latin stateside.

Beale Street wasn’t seen by a enough members to make an impact. Regina Hall despite the hype from her NY critics win was never in the running for Oscar recognition for her tiny movie that went straight to on demand. I’m hurt for Viola Davis since SAG has had her back when other award bodies didn’t. Widows is high…
