I've had to hold my tongue so hard lately at all this "I hope this never gets to her!" talk. Um, hello? Children of color are told these kinds of things ALL OF THE FUCKING TIME, not just the adorable ones in worldwide blockbuster smashes. Not hearing about it is the kind of privilege that, if possible, would be saved…

You're right. It DOES make you a bad feminist.

Elton is THAT DUDE. I know he's gotten all sappy and Disneyesque and all, but I can't help it.

If THIS isn't a good time to try a menstrual cup, I don't know when is.

Remember the outrage and disgust when Storm from the X-Men married a black man? Lord, Lord, Lord.

I was disappointed in the Capital, PERIOD. So

I believe they also tend to be smaller if they're female. I thought Clove was a darling, but wasn't she supposed to be taller and/or heavier than Katniss? Watching JL "struggle" underneath this itty-bitty thing was almost as bad as that ridiculous rain scene.

I picture Finnick as this blonde, light-skinned, green-eyed black guy on our diving team. He truly was golden - I believe his mother was white and his father was biracial. Annie Cresta's race could easily be anything, IIRC. I picture Coin as Angela Bassett or Charlize Theron, depending on the day.

Slightly O/T, but I can't imagine how embarrassed their parents must feel right now - if not for the racism, then for the the obvious comprehension fail.

As soon as I saw that, I KNEW the movie was going to suck. Seriously...how hard could it have been to find a yellow cat!? I'm pretty sure animal shelters put hundred of them to death every day!

I think that you get the "slavery is over" refrain from lots o' "liberals" as well.

I can only speak for myself, but I think "kinky" can be iffy and will probably get you some side-eye. If you can't wear your hair in an Afro, then I wouldn't consider it kinky at all. "Coarse" would probably be the best description if you're referring to texture.

That's why I never understood the whole "slavery is over" cry of the Republicans, as if Jim Crow didn't end in my MOTHER'S era. No reparations for slavery? Fine. Start doling out reparations for all those years of separate but "equal." Reimburse my grandmother for all those years she worked until her hands cracked and…

Is the use of the term kinky racist?

I'm assuming you mean de jure segregation. De facto segregation is alive and well in the States.

Remember when they cast Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin? *smdh* Dude is friggin' gigantic, and I was AFRAID for him.

Why do we always have to ply "devil's advocate" when it comes to white racism?

When you learn that a character that is supposed to be black...is black...and that UPSETS you? You are a racist. And when you try to explain that away and give those kinds of people the benefit of the doubt, you are an apologist - and you are no better than they are.

They seem shocked that the black people didn't all just kill themselves off or something. Sheesh.
