I’m quite familiar with the show, I’ve seen a couple of seasons. I feel like white creators do not want to address covert racism because it would hit too close to home so the overt nature of blackface is an easy one to do. Because no one in their right mind would don blackface and not think it was racist. However, not…

You can impersonate someone without having to match their skin color. If your impersonation of them is good, you don’t need to darken your skin for it. Black face can’t be divorced from the historical context of it so saying, “no really, my intentions aren’t racist, it is just satire” does not cut it. Especially if…

(despite the fact that the whole point of the blackface in these episodes was to illustrate how offensive and ridiculous using it is)

If I am out and not had a chance to wash my hands, it is just easier for me to not mess with my face/mask so I leave it on until I get back home and can wash my hands.

I want Niecy’s sneakers! I never thought I could be this happy for someone I have never met and do not personally know.

I am technically pansexual but do not like the term so I use Bi/Queer and define Bi as attracted to people who share my gender or sex and people who do not.

I automatically swipe left on anyone who has sapiosexual in their bio. The term just repulses me.

This news made me so happy yesterday for no reason. Love her and just so happy for her

I would vote green (and do vote green for some local positions) more if some of their positions wasn’t anti-science and sometimes batshit. I even went to a Jill Stein rally in 2016 to give the party a chance, that maybe I was being unfair to them. Every single person that spoke at the rally was a bernie supporter that…

This episode was for sure the most triggering one for me. I was the kid waiting for my dad to get home while somewhat ignoring the people who were always there. I too missed all the clues of my dad’s infidelity with women who were friends and family friend until I was almost in my 30s. I told my sister recently that…

There is also always a level of condescension in those articles pointing out their flaws. That their supporters don’t truly know their records because if you do, then how can you still support this person. Oh, I dunno, I would really like to stop the cruelty of the current administration? Do I think Biden/Harris will…

I’m not enthusiastic about either and I will absolutely vote Biden/Harris but I also don’t feel the need to shit on anyone’s enthusiasm. I have been really bummed out by the twitter discourse from people who think electoral politics is useless and we shouldn’t buy into it yet shit on people’s enthusiasm as if they are…

I’m going to try to give as vague details as possible in case the folks involved lurk here.

Good

I started watching Better Things about a month ago then got to an episode that was co-written by LCK where a young male actor was being driven home by Pamela Adlon’s character. The young actor starts telling her again how he’s always liked her and then talks about how hard he is and would it be ok if he masturbated…

She should apologize for it

There are openly gay actors who would be perfect for those roles but hollywood still thinks that being gay means you are not “manly” and can’t convincingly portray a straight character. So you will continue to have the straight, mostly white actors play those roles. But then when it is time to cast a gay character,…

A lot of people, Black people specifically told her not to play the role and she doubled down. All of these could have been avoided. So she did excuse this for a long time and now she’s finally realized it, I guess...

You can help it by not bringing it out of the greys. The comment was not adding anything useful to the discussion. You did not respond to the comment in order to have a “good faith” discussion with the troll. There really was no need to it. If you wanted to dunk on them, you could screenshot and respond. You basically…

I know you think you are being objective but know that when you approve obvious trolls like this, you kind of ruin the experience for black people who are scrolling through the comments just to see the N word on a monday morning and for trans folks who get to see their existence trivialized and dismissed. It is ok to…
