Didn't this have something to do with Wall Street being a location for one of the old colonial slave markets, or something?

I would take her aside, play her this song and then nod my head while polishing my glasses.

Couldn't agree more about the point with Carlos. I know it's not particularly heroic, but it made sense when he was driven to become El Vengador purely out of a desire for revenge. Besides that ass-kicking he got from the cop, nothing happened to him in the last episode that would have precipitated this change in…

I thought Luther was really good.

No one should question whether HBCU's "matter".

Sending a mass text to the side ho*s isn't going to do anything but make you look desperate.

I don't believe in the concept of a universal Black struggle.

Celebrities are people just like everybody else, so of course they'll have opinions about that they want to express to the world. If they really, truly, in their hearts feel like they have something to say about whatever, then just say it and be prepared for the consequences. Like that time A$AP Ferg claimed racism…

I always find it kind of interesting when a foreign Black person weighs in on something that- to me, anyway- seems like a particularly American phenomenon. Caribbean people don't seem to have as much of a complex about "Blackness" as we do. I know she's been in the US since she was, like, fifteen but isn't she still…

I can see that's what they were going for, but man was it clumsily handled! It just came off as a fairly lazy call-back to the "there's nothing more contagious than laughter," line from the previous episode.

What the hell was up with that ending? So homicidal madness is just contagious now?

I've always taken it as the word of God as revealed and interpreted by man. I know that's not the same thing, but it's one of the bits of Sunday school I've still got with me.

I'm in a weird space when it comes to religion. My mom is very much
Team Jesus, but she's got an ingrained distrust of the institution of
"church" in the Black community (she's seen some sh!t), so I never
regularly attended church growing up. I'm not an atheist or an agnostic,
because I believe God and Jesus and the…

South Carolina. When I moved to the Chicago area a few years back for school, I was unprepared for just how stringent Illinois gun laws were.

Going to an HBCU is how I found out just how many different types of Black people there are. I was a nerdy introvert and didn't feel out of place at all.

I never really did much Homecoming related stuff when I was in school, but now when somebody mentions it I start feeling all nostalgic. No lie, I still find myself randomly humming my school's fight song from time to time.

I'm serious. Aside from Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? I don't think that I've read an Alan Moore story that left any significant emotional impact on me.

I get that people are drawn to Cole because he doesn't get into a lot of the shallow/drugged out content that's popular in a lot of rap nowadays. And to his credit he's not bad at it. I think much of my disinterest in him is a result of the fact that I listen to a lot of hip-hop music.

I'd forgotten in the time it's been off the air, but Heroes is one of those series where I have a good enough time when I'm watching it, but as soon as it ends I start recognizing all the nonsense. The decision making by characters- and, by extension, the writers- just baffles me
