What, exactly, have you done? Have you ever gone through thousands of names looking for folks to talk to about running for office? Have you given hundreds of hours training candidates? Have you ever done the time to track folks down asking them to even submit an application for a muni commission so they can get…

I saw the National Theatre of the Deaf’s traveling production of this. It was amazing. If I get back East, I hope to see it too.

I played “Calpurnia” twice. The first was also my first time on stage so I just concentrated on the basics. The second time I had read “Go Set A Watchman,” which was a more realistic take on Atticus, and I had a very different take from the rest of the White cast and director. As did the actor playing Tom. It got ...…

This reminds me, I’m overdue for a visit to the Sackler in D.C. I don’t recall Ms. Thing making a fuss when it was Black communities being ravished by drugs, so I will enjoy my visit.

Meshell, girl,please. You know you would have your shaved head up on that stage in a heartbeat if he offered you a gig. And you’d be praising his cute lil ass as some sort of visionary. The true badass move would have been to simply acknowledge that the man did the show, and steer the topic back to HER album.

I read about half of this because I’m curious about things I know very little about. About half-way through it hit me, I just don’t care about whatever internal issues or politics involved. Drag, whether for queens or kings, just doesn’t rank high on my list of entertainment choices. It all just seems like a lot of…

Talk about a lazy hot take. Do you guys even try any more?

Killmonger wasn’t there 2 seconds before he made himself a dictator and had a peaceful country embroiled in a civil war. I am never, ever, down with Black folks killing other Black folks for the vanity of a single man. Hard pass.

Rodney? That you?? Man, I thought you were dead!

“... very bad experiences with authority figures and oppression ...”

Then he would have been seen choking out a male elder, if the point wasn’t his misogynoir. The director is very specific about the images he put in front of our eyeballs.

Nah. Killmonger murdered his partner-in-struggle, and lover, because he takes the easy way out. Least we gloss over it, this punk had the heart-shaped flower burned so nobody would have the same levels of power as him and he could be a dictator forever. He’s Mugabe, if Mugabe was cute.

Word.

Oh goody, a hot take barely disguised. Gotta get them clicks!

I have no idea what you are talking about. Nope. Not this auntie. Nuh uh. Move on, chile.

You over 21? Yes? Then you have had the only childhood you get.

In the real world:

No Black Lightning? Bye.

Alright, I’ll do it. Next time I’m in a good dim sum place, I’m gonna try the chicken feet. I also have a dream: to some day walk into one of those great ones in Vancouver, BC, have all the shu mai I can stuff down my gullet, and waddle out of there with a big grin on my face.
