I believe that every American is a racist and that it is impossible not to be. We all are born from and participate in a social structure that upholds racism. I think that we should just admit it and stop this finger pointing and move to another approach, perhaps an AA approach type of might work. Hello my name is…

I am with you, Cats is awful. I have never understood it’s appeal, never. The songs the worst, I cringe every time I hear a note from this musical. But clearly we are in the minority. It will probably make a fortune and win every possible award.

I hated Sharp Objects, absolutely hated it. I got thought it but barely, it tried too hard.

My father wanted to be called umpapa, which we all loved. But sadly it does not work for women.

“A surprise” is, like, “I brought you a slice of pie from the diner.” Not a whole-ass teenage outside child!”

I just don’t see it that way, as I have mentioned before on this subject these characters and their conflict is very familiar to me. I grew up in the region and Elizabeth reminds me of almost 20% of the matriarchs that I grew up with. They all did weird shit, “energy work”, “dream analysis”, “crystal healing”, “laying…

I am confused. I really don’t see the vast structural difference betheen the different ways the subconscious quick edit technique is being used. They appear to me to be all over the place.

Ok lets try this again really slow. I object to your original assertion: “...Elizabeth’s mistress of voodoo subplot and I am thinking it a bit lazy” 


Jumping off the cliff? That is not a flashback.

I would rather be boring than tone deaf and ignorant. You continue to live under the delusion that we are in a post racial society and that all non-whites should just shut up and take it, because there are no words allowed to discuss things from a non-white perspective and I will continue to use the language provided…

“Tell me more about Elizabeth’s spirituality. Is she practicing voodoo? This is a casually racist question. Would that have been asked of a white man leaving crystals by their child’s bedside. When you quote from casual racism...you too are responsible.

All the characters have moments of future/past/dreams quickly spliced into the narrative, it is part of the way this story is told. There is no “voodoo” Eliziabeth’s visions are not handled any differently than the subconcious of any of the other characters. New-age phlosophies have been part of the region since the…

I could not agree more. Once you understand the region, this is very very common practice. I might add for both black and white women. The use of the word “voodoo” really gets my back-up.

Slaver owners purposefully tried to get black women pregnant, a child born in captivity was much better than one they had to train from another land. Pregnant women were worth more than non pregnant ones when they arrived on US shores. And it is a tad racist to think white men only want to rape white women as if black…

How likely is it that there would be black handmaids? Very, very likely enslaving and raping black women is a colonial tradition.

Might have been? He risked himself and a baby for might have been? Maybe because I am a woman, I would never but myself at such risk as someone’s only parent. Also as a black person have a deep distrust of white establishment, I would NEVER put one drop of faith in a white institution filled with so much brutality. I…

The have pretty much ignored Luke’s blackness this whole time, as it this future is somehow colorblind. It is wishful thinking but totally unrealistic.

I am not distributing how this meeting moved the plot.

This was not a hostage situation. June’s freedom was not on the table.

How could Luke possibly expect an accurate update from any one from Gilliad? Seriously how?
