It’s a new day. The one-drop rule is an outdated tool of white supremacy to deny people access to whiteness. Calling half-white people only Black, only Asian, only Native American basically means you’re saying the non-white blood taints them and they aren’t white...even though they are.

Rachel Dolzeal feels like a black woman, too. If you are vastly white, you are not black. You can identify with blackness, but you’re simply not black.

Yeah, I don’t think she’s funny. Her impressions are mostly accurate, but she’s kinda hacky. 

When she announced as a new cast member, she got caught deleting a bunch of racist tweets. Some of which were not even jokes, if I recall correctly.

She really is awful.  There are, at least, three cast members who could sing her under the table and that’s tragic. 

His Trump is tired, not sharp enough, and not fun.

He looked like Rami Malek (again) in Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Did he blow the macaw hand-off it is it just weird af to try putting a brief time limit on handing off a random big old live bird? I mean, I feel like the exchange has to be gentle and the bird has to be willing to go. She couldn’t just shove it at him, his arm needed to be up.

Honestly, it’s not even worth mentioning. She’s probably less than 25% Black.

That sketch was so lazy. 

Fair, though I definitely felt the film was better than BatB from most standpoints.  

I noticed that while Dreamgirls got a mention, unless I missed it, it didn’t receive any further analysis. Didn’t fit the article’s narrative? I recall it being pretty well done with amazing singing (and a lackluster acting performance from Jamie Foxx).

I demand Broadway level singing. Fortunately, many musicals don’t have songs/styles that require PIPES, but I still expect performers to sound good and hit the notes without the aid of auto tune.

I like her and I think she’s very talented, but they’re all definitely starting to blur together for me. I don’t even like Melissa, but throw a bald cap on her and let her try for once.

To me he seemed like he knew SNL was not in his wheelhouse, but he was giving it a “what the hell” try anyway.

I knew most of the audience would have no clue why it was happening and I love that they did it anyway.

Same. And it still took me a few seconds. Something about the voice and his behavior was very Goodman. Freaked me out.

SNL has actually been a launching pad for many musical artists who were on the rise/virtually unknown. Meek Mill is an established artist, though who’s been in the spotlight (mostly due to drama) for a few years now. There was the feud with Drake from which Drake netted a hit song, there was dating Nicki Minaj, and…

I was under the impression that she did it on orders.

This thread is so dramatic. Did Pete go after Clint Eastwood and his entire body of work, or did he make tag team jokes about one movie? Does Pete really expect people to truly give a shit about his opinion of The Mule or does he just want them to laugh?
