I truly believe he would have continued the corrections reform he started in Chicago had his entire agenda not been hijacked by the financial crisis that came to a head just before he took office.

I have no doubts Obama cares about black people. Not a single one. I saw it when he was coming up in Chicago.

Clinton didn't wear his egghead status as clearly as Obama does. Very different style of educated leadership.

And proud of it! People get gleeful about actively hating on an educated candidate!

This "you could have a beer with X" nonsense is so ridiculous.

I'm teasing :)

In Living Color, or Living Single? :)

Malik Yoruba did not become as famous as he should have after that show.

"The knowledge of cooking does not come pre-installed in a vagina."

I saw a commercial for this last year, but could never figure out where it was showing. A friend of mine who teaches tango said it's good.

My husband tried telling my daughter that the boy at school who was giving her trouble was doing it because "he likes you". I shut that nonsense down. Boys who push you down aren't doing it out of love. It might be on accident or whatever, but that's not what affection looks like.

Math is hard, man.

I find both Pence and Cheney reprehensible, but indeed: Cheney is the devil you know.

It's interesting because the Chinese box office is still nothing to sneeze at. Marvel took that gamble with Doctor Strange, swapping out a Tibetan-ish "Ancient One" for Tilda Swinton so as not to offend.

I thought I read somewhere—I admit to not reading too closely on it because the subject matter is not my jam—that China (in some capacity… investors?) wanted a bankable white guy.

I don't think you have to go all the way to the content tinfoil hat conspiracies. This is the first time a studio ponied up $17M for a Sundance movie, though. It was a huge payday for a black filmmaker during the whole #OscarsSoWhite dustup. Parker had unprecedented visibility due to the confluence of factors.

No, I did not. What I said was *adding* a rape to a story that didn't have one is lazy and distasteful.

You could run for office on that.

Yeah. In a couple of weeks.

They're going to bring their white wives. Right? That's how this works?
