“I guess a better argument here is that, yes, that exists in other cultures (as apart from colonial constructs of whiteness), but that doesn’t also mean that white people aren’t also complicit in much of global racism.”

“Taken out of context” is the most bullshit excuse ever. Shut up or be held accountable you divisive charity case.

Hate to tell you, but in areas of naturally darker skin tone...the preference for lighter tones goes much farther back in history than when white colonialism hit them.

But she is wrong. Saying “yes all white people” is what’s problematic in her post. In the next sentence she then backpedals to “most of you”.

Seriously? You read about a proposed series that will explore “the relationship between the American and French-Arab co-owners of a jazz club” and that “they’ll shoot the series in France and there will be dialogue in French, English and Arabic.” Yet all you can write about is that you’re bored of Damien Chazelle

It’s hard because we don’t get to be as self righteous about celebrity gossip but at least it puts an end to this awful woke call out culture.

Celebrities are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If they don’t speak out they are not “using their platform”. If they do speak out, they will definitely make a mistake (because they’re human) and people tell them they are out of touch and to stfu. Suddenly they are cancelled because of how “problematic”

I have no idea how many “women of a certain age” are and are not feminists.

Why would I want to watch a relationship advice show by two young people who got married like last month?

“And there is a lot of sexism, of course that exists. There’s no question. But I think things are changing,” she said. “The more that we, as women, can make films that speak to everyone, we can be regarded as filmmakers.”

How does he keep getting pussy in those cargo shorts.
