In the comics, T’challa marries Ororo Munroe or Storm from the X-Men, so I have to say that as much as I appreciate how Nakia changes T’challa’s mindset on Wakanda’s role on the world stage... I was not rooting for their silver screen kiss in this.

Ryan Coogler signed on for only one Black Panther movie. His next film, Wrong Answer, is about the 2009 cheating scandal in the Atlanta Public Schools district, and Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing it. Michael B. Jordan is starring. After that, Coogler and Jordan are teaming up again for a film about Mansa Musa, a…

That scene between W’kabi and Okoye got me too. I watched it this morning with a group of friends, and we’re all Indigenous. After the film, we discussed that scene and for all 7 of us, that scene brought tears to our eyes. I interpreted it as Okoye’s love of her land, which is at the foundation of Indigenous…

At my high school, we could go off campus for lunch. One day at KFC, I was choking on my chicken and you know the rest.

Historic crowds <—- therefore a good guy, if you’re Trump

Oooh that sounds perfect for my rainy Friday night. Thanks!

You’re right and I was lazy with my wording. Cultural imperialism plays out along Indigenous people in the way that many European societies (but really I’m talking about Germans) are drawn to primitive aspects of our cultures, while being much less interested in contemporary Indigenous peoples. They have the freedom…

I’m a home visitor and last week one of my families asked me what I gave up for Lent. Now to be on my home visiting caseload, it means your family has been through some shit. I’ve known this family for years, so instead of artfully dodging the question, I was real with them and I said “Nothing. I’m not a churchgoer”…

We do. We need a docuseries on hip-hop’s first few decades, when there was so much joy in it. Make it a docuseries about the four elements of hip-hop, with Jeff Chang, Nelson George and David Cook consulting. I like what Q-tip and probably others before him have said about Black culture being one of America’s most…

Thanks so much for posting this. I count myself as one of the non-White women who feels alienated by much of the content on Jezebel. Today’s a day I’m glad I dipped my toe back in here. Roxanne Shanté is an important part of American music history and I will watch the hell out of this. Hip-hop has strayed so far from…

I almost can’t listen to Cobra Style when I’m driving because I turn into a beast. My son knows this about me.

I’m amazed. That was amazing.

As a kid, my brother and I gave our cats typical names that ended in -y like Smokey (she was gray) and Misty (Smokey’s daughter). My son picked a cool name for our cat. He used to love watching Family Feud, and because we are a multiracial family, I would teach him to root for the minority family a la Issa Rae…

Poor guy or gal’s getting deluged! I wanted to reply to Francois that yes, there are drills and add that in my school district, we also have relief buckets in case we need to shelter in place for a long time. They have snacks, flashlights, and toilet paper. The security guards did a training telling us about a system…

Same. My husband and I don’t celebrate it either. Lemmings!

I think Chrissy Teigen is gonna love this. I learned in one of my favorite IG posts of hers that she has to swim with pool noodles.

It’s not a toomah!

I’ve traveled in South Korea a few times. With the exception of Buddhist temples and old-fashioned restaurants that are tourist traps, similar to fake Western towns in Arizona, regular shoes are worn in public places.

My brother and I went to high school with sisters named Stormy, Dusty and Windy. So there really could be a franchise if Kylie and dood have what it takes.
