I don't know, this seems like a pretty open and shut case of someone getting rejected and getting butthurt about it. Sorry, this isn't a trait unique to white women. Happens every day. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly white women who assume any and every black dude is after them, but dude ran solid text game,…

It wasn't a "defense" of Rachel Dolezal though. And MHP's nuanced take was something I actually appreciated. There was something odd about the incessant memeing and jokes over one white woman who claimed to be black. The fact that certain white folks were giddily participating in these memes, all the while silent…

Man I only had cable because of MHP (and the NBA I guess). Wanted to be on her show too. Brilliant woman who turned out the best social commentary in all of television week after week. I respect any creator who fights for their creative vision and doesn't let that vision be trammelled or compromised. Dave Chappelle is…

Haven't seen a show so immediately tackle what's going on in the zeitgeist like Survivor's Remorse in a while. Forget about gaining perspective, Remorse goes all in the day after. And that false equivalency line was sharp. On the other hand, we're a season and two episodes deep and we still haven't seen Cam dribble on…

Like where this article goes, hate the starting point. There's a long history of "self-hating black people" being exposed to the public, far longer than the short history of television and film. A certain segment of America has always eaten that up. I'm not saying being black in America doesn't engender ambivalence,…

Doesn't sound too outrageous to me. Both A-list action stars with dramatic acting-chop ranges that end with Magnolia and Six Degrees of Separation/Ali respectively…

Heh.

Actually, it's not too egregious of a request that the so-called star of the movie get to kill the main villain, and moreover be someone of agency, wit and star-power from minute 1 to minute 120. That way, a black actor/actress could have the opportunity to give a performance worthy of something come awards…

The past 2 episodes of this show have been completely different and I think I like it. Lite on story, heavy on character. But more than that, the interactions are very long and protracted, which is completely unlike television at all, especially these days. I think someone referenced Tarantino at some point but I…

Ya know, I don't really get offended by Family Guy. It's an equal opportunity offender and most of the racial humor (well a lot of it at least) is subversive so I'm cool. But not tonight.

Best episode of television I've seen in at least 2 years. Best direction in the series by far. And I would argue not self-indulgent in the least. Well, arguably, it starts out that way as our young heroine gets to shack up for a few days with a good-looking, established, older doctor who is also brooding and…
