This whole conversation misses the point.

Yesterday I watched Killer Mike stand on stage and lead a crowd at the Panorama festival in a “Fuck Trump” cheer. He was clearly angry that Bernie Sanders had lost, as he was one of his biggest supporters and had really worked on advocacy on Sanders behalf. And since he’s a damn smart guy, he also finished off by…

Dear God.

Not surprised. These people, many of whom are first time voters because of age or previous indifference, were told that Hillary (and not Trump) was the enemy for nearly a year. Many of the younger ones come from Republican homes where Hillary has been Public Enemy #1 since before they were born. They who are trying to…

Exactly the points that I was also making. It’s good to have my understanding validated by someone in law enforcement.

Dude, I don’t have the answers, I’m just voicing my frustration that we keep seeing people die and then we find out later that at some point, the authorities had contact with him. I would just like to think there would have been some sign. I’m sure you guys are doing all you can do, I just would like to think there…

Based on your avatar, I’ll assume that you’re an American, from Texas. Doesn’t the US Bill of Rights provide protection for citizens against arrest and detention, without due process? Are you against basic protections under the law for those who have not been convicted of a crime?

Black people would necessarily have to be token side characters (yay?), or the movie would have to feature a colonial troop formation, which, again, reduces the role of the only super heroine with a movie right now to feature black men (under white…

I know, why doesn’t Themyscira have any men, right? Seriously though, the movie takes place in WWI (evidenced by the Fokker E.III plane). The 1910s were not a period of tremendous diversity in Europe. There were lots of French and British colonial troops (India, Africa) who fought, particularly in the crises years.…

So because it has fictional elements, we need to have POC as soldiers in WWI trenches even though that never happened?

Well on one hand WW1 was a very cosmopolitan affair with colonial troops from all over the world taking place... but it was very segregated. In many instances diversity is desirable, but not when it feels like the production company/director/writers are just trying to shoe horn different demographics into the movie.

You want more diversity in a movie taking place in the trenches of WWI?
