Wag your finger at that person with gusto if you like, lol. He is trying the British version of “Black people can’t speak standard English.” He thinks he’s slick.

I’m talking about in the industry, with the casting process. It is definitely A Thing.

You are perpetuating a stereotype. Adele may speak Estuary English. David Oleyowo and Thandie Newton do not.

That doesn’t mean they speak ‘estuary English’; from your comment, I doubt you even know what that means anyway, since estuary English is the *only* accent most Americans can understand

Ah, ok, you just proved my point perfectly.

Yeah...no. Black Brits have varying accents, just like everybody else there.

It sucks because roles are limited in both of our countries. So British actors come here, and I don’t blame them, but they are often picked over Black Americans because of the comfort that white Americans have with them when they open their mouths and a British accent comes out. They are perceived as a more acceptable…

Dude. You just heard a woman talk about how she was mentally preparing herself to be raped by three men. And that she was focusing on how her sister would heal after finding her dead body and this is what you come out of it with? The fuck is wrong with you? Have like, a semblance of empathy. Ever.

TMI bruh

Now that President Obama has moved on, it’s actually nice to see the new leader of the free world sitting in the Oval Office, and also Donald Trump.

Shouldn’t Tillerson be rejuvenated from his stay at that German spa last month? http://theslot.jezebel.com/secretary-of-state-rex-tillerson-is-working-remotely-fr-1792473987

You do know he didn’t HAVE to take this job, right?

I have to get off a shitty overnight commercial flight and be functional in a second language for a meeting at 8 am and this fucking clown can’t even do dinner? Give me a fucking break.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for defending Director-level and CEO-level positions in most companies - they’re often damned hard 70 hour+ weeks and essentially 24/7 on-call, at a level that is beyond the vast bulk of people.

An oil executive without energy?

So many CEO-type old men in this administration used to starting at 10am, going for a 2 hour lunch at 12, and being home by 4pm are suddenly discovering that the “public sector” they’ve mocked their whole lives doesn’t roll that way.

So what’s a “stud-loan”? Does this mean I can borrow Alexander Skarsgård for a few hours if I give him back?

“who may as well have voted for Trump, as far as I’m concerned”

Me too. It’s the anonymity of a human being - it’s literally her body - and she was given no dignity or credit and her family no benefit. It’s a crime.
