When I was job hunting a bit less than a decade ago, the “common wisdom” among my fellow interviewee ladies was also that you shouldn’t wear an engagement (or wedding) ring—but back then the reasoning was not that potential employers would assume you were high maintenance. Rather, the rumored thinking was that an…

He’s still getting a D-1 scholarship moron, just not at Michigan.

OMG, that shit looked terrible. She needs to play a powerful black woman along the lines of Kerry Washington or Viola Davis. This whole startled by everything in the dark look she does isn't doing anything for her.

Even less popular opinion (here): Jennifer Lawrence is a terrific actor, and is not overrated.

I thought We’re the Millers was pretty funny. And I liked Friends with Money, she was a bit shady there. I also liked The Good Girl.

Spy was amazing. The shit talk between the characters was truly impressive.

Underrated? How so? She’s one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Should she have won Oscars for Tammy, Identity Thief or The Boss? You know, like all those male comedians who win Oscars year after year.

Well, except for Hidden Figures. As that legit looks awesome, if only because we never get “Black Women Being Geniuses” movies. I AM SO HERE FOR IT.Go see that instead of Rapist Parker’s project.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!! Nate was BET Famous , some black people want crossover success well it comes with cross over scrutiny

Absolutely. And no lie, I wasn’t going to watch this film anyway. When it was announced back whenever I told myself that we won’t be doing that. I’m tired of slave movies. I’m so exhausted from seeing Hollywood fall in love with any movie that shows the suffering of black and brown people.

THIS. Black men have a history of being abused by the racial justice system, but this is not the case at all. Parker got the same treatment white men get when they sexually assault or rape a woman: he got away with it. Sorry he doesn’t get to live the rest of his life without criticism and suspicion over his shitty…

PREACH! The “suspicious timing” argument irks me to the core. I remember when the debacle around Bill Cosby began to unfold and the conspiracy theorist were talking nonsense that the “accusations” only came out because he was “about to purchase a network”. NO, these are not instances of social stratification and…

Fuck him, his rapist co-writer and the his supporters online. Especially his online supporters who are trying to guilt Black women like me into supporting his unapologetic, rapist-ass just because he’s Black. Guess what, a-holes? I don’t support rapists of ANY COLOR, full stop. So you can get the fuck out and miss me…

The story they wanted to push was one of an accused rapist redeemed. Due to the existence of that transcript, the story is more like, “how the hell did he get off in the first place?”

The transcripts of his conversation with her make it pretty clear that it wasn’t consensual. I believe that at the time he thought it was okay. I also believe that he’s smart enough to know by now that what he did was categorically wrong.

Yes, the timing is indeed suspicious. It’s almost like the public didn’t know Nate Parker even existed before and so can only now really care about a rape case which was previously swept under the rug. Weeeeeiiiiirrrrd. 🙄

“The timing.”

Yeah, the timing comes from the publicity push. Gang-rape isn’t a good look on anybody. The sentencing of the original trial was bizarre too; How could one member of a gang rape only be committing rape?

It’s like Halle said “You know my movie The Call? Let’s just do that again but this time not have me sitting on the phone for most of the movie. Also, nobody cares if some basic girl like Abigail Breslin is kidnapped, so let’s make it a younger, cute as hell boy. He can be my kid so I have more opportunities to scream…

I still think they could have done a whole series of movies around her 70s San Francisco PI character from Cloud Atlas.
