I am still MAD about this

As will I, bitter FOREVER.

“I feel like Williams’ doctors may have subconsciously internalized those beliefs.” I believe this happens all of the time to black people. I like the way you phrased it, for I feel it goes to the root of the problem.

“Beckyfest” love that. I am so over the Beckys at this point in time, so over them and their continued failure to acknowledge that they are our oppressors and always have been. They continually trot out black women to behave as shields both to take the bullets and to save them from the hard work of coming to terms…

:)

The goal is not stripping people of their experiences, perceptions and heritage forcing them into one homogeneous conciseness, in which the white perspective provides the baseline for acceptable norms, that is the opposite of the goal. The goal is to celebrate everyones uniqueness and honor them in the way they tell…

I really disagree with you on this point. I have lived in Europe and their attitude is different and the way they handle racism is different, largely because most of their black population is not decedent of slavery. It creates a very different dynamic, but they are equally racist. In some aspects more racist and in…

“Consider for a moment that instead of looking at this child model as black...” How is that possible? Really how do you not see a black child? The colorblind defense is just so ridiculous and insulting. You could say that you saw the child as black but did not consider his blackness. Unless one is actually blind, that…

Frances McDormand defiantly deserved the award, there are a lot of excellent female performances this award season, but she defiantly had one of them. I too am good with her going all the way this year.

Thought of our conversation after the golden globe awards. I really don’t think that Sam Rockwell deserved the award for this performance, in fact I found his winning very disappointing. There is such as shallowness to these events and their mock political correctness.

While I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration, I don’t happen to agree with you. I think people can change without punishment or even deep motivation sometimes they just realize they are wrong or more selfishly that their old path no longer serves them. Also, in this instance, I think the character has some…

In life, the bigot rarely sees justice (look at our president), being fired would be extreme and rare punishment. Police who torture black people rarely see consequences. It is more authentic for the film to show this than the other way around. I think the frustration you feel about this character in this film is…

That is what I liked, I find that I have to be more tolerant to navigate the world. If I wrote off everyone who said something racist, I would not be able to eat, hold a job, basically do anything that would resemble functioning in society. White people say racist things to me and/or around me all of the time. For…

I did not find it particularly racist and I am black. There are many, many more racist films out there, infact if I boycotted racist films there would not be much left to see. I don’t think portraying racism makes a movie racist, I think ignoring racism does. For example the amount of movies made that center around a…

I am sorry you did not love it, it is so frustrating when that happens. I am one of the lovers although I am not sure I loved it while I was watching it. As the hours and days passed I found myself rather addicted to the visuals and the rhythm of the film, I actually missed it, missed watching the story unfold. Went…

I was pleasantly surprised by that one too.

I am in the loved it camp and was surprised by the negative reactions, but I am glad the ending was so controversial allows the film to linger in thought.

I found the kids acting was technique color and felt it blended well with setting. It was this king of over the top hyper real style. I loved this movie, I enjoyed it while I was watching it, but grew to love it a little more everyday after. I am a single mom and spent a breif stint in one of these places (lucky only…

I agree, simplicity is hard to pull off. Every artist who contributed to this episode showed technique and restraint. It was very grown-up, beautiful to watch.

That has always pissed me off. Post-racial society my ass.
