Name the people on the list nominated who are undeserving of their nominations. Not the ones you just prefer, but the ones who are obviously undeserving and were placed over people of color who were, just because of race.

Who would you pull off as undeserving to add the color? Not just I would pick A over B, but who doesn't deserve it?

Amy Irving did it for Yentl way back when.

I am curious about why "they" aren't mad at the thugs. For every Freddie Day or Michael Brown, there are dozens and dozens of black men killed by other black men. Does that mean unjustified police shootings should be dismissed as inconsequential? No, but, by choosing to accept the inaccurate narrative that the police…

By using the phrase "racist attacks", the reviewer is indicating that he thinks the real danger for those characters came from white people.

Yeah, because it really is true that the only black lives that matter are the ones taken by white men, preferably uniformed.

Your initial post seems to dismiss the idea of moving from the House to the Presidency in the manner that Underwood did, stating it required some elaborate scheme. Gerald Ford disproves that, assuming he did not set up Agnew and Nixon in an elaborate scheme that no journalist has ever sussed out.

My main problem with it this year was that so much of it was about actual policy (rather than process), and the policies made no sense as laid out. If you are not entitled to anything, why is Frank pushing a policy that says you are entitled to a job?

Ever heard of Gerald Ford? His path to the Presidency was essentially the same as Frank's, except he was representing a Michigan district and was House Majority Leader. I don't think Ford set Agnew up or dropped a dime on Nixon about the tapes, but a less noble man standing in the right room at the right time might…

Re Ms. Bunting: Admittedly, I am trying to remember this from the British airing of the season starting last September, but Ms. Bunting was equally rude to Lord Grantham or at least to the hospitality his family was showing toward her. Having accepted his family's invitation, she picked a few arguments that were…

I am a black man. It doesn't change the analysis. Some instances of interracial porn are definitely racially tinged, but not all. The reference to porn in the show was totally about the act of spit roasting, not specifically being spit roasted by black men in a way meant to dehumanize the black men or suggest that…

I am judging this show on its own, not against something else. There is no sense that Ali considers Mike and Derek to be "Black bucks unable to control themselves in the presence of a white woman," which is the stereotype I think you are invoking. Without that, it appears that you are suggesting that any black-white…

I'm on board with the idea that Ali is messed up, all of the Pfefferrman kids are messed up. But the description of the spit roasting and the depiction of the attempt to play it out on her part had no racial overtones at all, other than a statement to Syd that the men were in fact black. So, I'm still lost as to why…

What exactly is racist about imagining a three-way with two black men?

Why is it that so many AV Club reviews lately have devoted significant amounts of coverage to identity politics without regard to whether it matters to the story being told?

Was Keith really a popular name 515 years ago?

I'm guessing you aren't factoring the V in your equation. Vampire blood fucks with the baselines.

Not a whole lot of thought needed. The Eric the series has crafted is not in any way submissive. Jason, on the other hand, frequently gives in to stronger, smarter, craftier people. Jason, in a guy-guy thing, is a bottom, just no way around it.

The dream didn't work for me. Jason, in a Jason-Eric thing, is so the bottom giving Eric head and giving up the hole.

What, you didn't appreciate the reference to the completely tangential Antoinette Frank sprinkled in with the inaccuracies?
