Yeah, I think he was stirring up things Eggly didn’t want to confront so he ‘had to go’.

I think the thing is that nobody should be calm about slavery and racism, if the people who look like them are the ones being enslaved and against whom an entire country is practicing racist discrimination ... which is the part of this they really don’t want to deal with.

No “maybe” about it. Yale is the Ivy where Sarah “calls the cops” called them on two separate students and the school has yet to offer any kind of recompense to or even the most minimal remedial campus-wide education on behalf of either one, remember?

I’m also paying attention not only to the fact that Freemantle Media was apparently the parent production company for the same company that got rid of Gabrielle Union, in part because her “hairstyle was too black” — I’m also intrigued that Mr. “Best Written” thinks that a message that POC haven’t been treated well in…

Connecticut is the cleaner racist version of the scummy racists that is Boston.

The Expanse just dropped its latest season. Two popular characters, Bobbie and Avasarala, aren’t even in the book they’re adapting this season but guess what? They managed to write storylines for them so they’re still in the show.

If Boston(Massachusetts) vs Connecticut is the only thing someone has to point out to claim that Orlando Jones is wrong then Mr. Jones is definitely right about what he said.

Orlando Jones is the only reason I watched past the 2nd episode of that mediocre ass show. Oh well, guess I’ll look out for his next project.

was born in Boston

Yeah, this is definitely some bullshit.

Yeah I’m pretty sure if he just wasn’t going to feature in this season he would understand and probably continue writing for the show. So there’s definitely some bullshit in that statement by the company.

“He’s not in this part of the book” seems like a pretty weak defense. Like, that doesn’t mean he’s fired, that means he’s on hold. Also, if you were planning on making Anansi Boys, and having Jones reprise his role for that, he also wouldn’t really be fired.

Fuck this was the best encapsulation of the whole damn problem, well said

That’s the last line Thanos says before he loses and gets killed.  Who thought that would be a good idea?

I assume he never saw EndGame. You know where a group of diverse heroes get together and stop Thanos and end his plan. I mean asking his fat ass to sit still for three hours would be a chore but he needs to watch it to learn what happens when you think you’re a god.

I really don’t get the Rocky thing. Rocky FOUGHT a Russian. Trump sucks up to one.

It’s a seriously good analogy though: Movie Thanos is a crazy asshole whose plan is dumb and won’t work at all the way he thinks it will.  I mean, that’s basically Trump and his wall in a nutshell.

ok so Im an elementary teacher and I am struggling to see the value of this assignment period. Like how is naming the price of slaves contributing to anything this person was trying to teach? She could have had them research the historical price of things and used that for wherever this assignment was going and that…

This exactly! Some people don’t want the status quo to change. They want those in power to be able to punch down without being held in any way accountable, even verbally. The same people who argue that those being “cancelled” need to have their right to freedom of speech respected are the ones whining about “cancel…

This is beautiful.
