I thought this was taken during a period where people really didn’t smile in photos.

That would be nice, if it was actually, you know, IN THE PAST.

I think I love you.

Change that to just plain “kids” and that would be an accurate statement. However, some kids are given the benefit of the doubt while others are seen as predators.

Did you watch the episode because there were different viewpoints presented?

Being ‘of the streets’ doesn’t equate to the black experience.

This reminds me of a piece that Awesomely Luvvie wrote that took black fashion/beauty bloggers to task for not being present/vocal in racial discussions. Not sure how I feel about it. Sometimes a presence speaks volumes and there are others who are really effective at carrying the racial torch.

Oh, I absolutely believe hardwiring is a part of it but once you see something you can’t unsee it so the ball is now in their court.

If you aren’t a fan, then fine. Keep reading all those Kristen Calvaliri posts though.

I didn’t take it as her shaming her for having sex but “when you had your baby you had to open your legs to do so”, meaning that is how the baby was able to exit. LOL.

When people complain about no black people on the Bachelor, I’m always like “I think we need to aim higher.”

It’s on DVD. Maybe get from the library?

Holy Drakkar Noir! What is going on in that video?!

I don’t know anyone who is a Chad Boseman fan the way folks go gaga for Cumberbatch. I feel like Hollywood is trying to shove him down our throats as the next Denzel/leading man type. I’m not even excited about his Marvel turn. I do love Thurgood Marshall but not excited by this casting. Laurence Fishburne was great…

Prime Time did it first.
