Yeah but the poster you are responding to is of the “never let the truth get in the way of a good/controversial story”

How is a POC playing a POC whitewashing?

Zoe Saldana is a POC and an actress who is portraying a POC with the use of prosthetics. Well how fucking unprecedented is that? An actor using prosthetics to look more like the person they are portraying? Off with her head.

After Texas, did anyone really need to read any further.

Being an independent in the United States Senate is not obscurity. Do you speak anything other than nonsense or have you done such great things in life that in comparison this looks like nothing to you? I’m not a Sanders supporter but it does not diminish what he has given his profession and this country. He is a good…

I’m old enough to remember the crack epidemic and it’s effect on inner city neighborhoods and communities. How bout you? Did you frequent inner city neighborhoods decimated by crime around that time? Cause I remember preachers using words far worse than Super Predator to describe it.

That’s not what it was. The world is full of people who do not one thing but want to spend the night talking about what you haven’t done, or your efforts that wwre not successful. Do something, anything. Talking until he’s blue in the face is what my loser uncle does every thanksgiving until we put in earplugs.

Actually it’s not. Maybe you’re not going to get a campaign going as a city comptroller or city mayor right off the bat, but you can become a community organizer relatively easier. You can do a get out the vote, for the DNC and then move up to a candidate. It’s easier to get a start in local politics than it is to get…

I think it’s awesome that you have absolutely nothing to add to the discourse.

The comment doesn’t paint a pretty picture—if anything, feeding a tiny human that has no developed immune system in a bathroom should be an indication that the Oscars should probably review their cans and can’ts.

And smart and educated. Is Jewish and white interchangeable now.?

Ok, so let’s see. You believe MSNBC is trying to keep people of color off the air because why...they are a racist network? Does that make any sense to you, since everyone mentioned has had a show on the network and clearly those shows did not work out ratings wise. This is a tired, lazy and stupid argument.

Well a lot of you were ignoramuses. He made a fucking tiny mistake in reading Mc Kellans article. Off with his fuking head right, because damn itf there’s an oppertunity to tar and feather, let’s tke it. He certainly looks like a guy who wanted to wake up being thought the biggest fool on his big night, right? You and…

Haters got to hate. Get it now? The kid won an Oscar and he mixed up man with actor in Ian’s comment and made a faux pas in front of the world. To suggest it was malicious or attention grabbing is just stupid. I get it but I wish people were just nicer.

Thinking you read her wrong. Thinking she was saying if you’re a repub have a look at Kasich and not the crazy fuckers in your party. Lesser of 4 evils is what she was positing methinks.

Yeah but people have a vested interest in believing that people richer, more accomplished and who elevate our lives through their art, are more stupid than them. Hurray for misanthropes.

That’s surprising because this community is very tuned in to the political chattering class. But it was obtuse for everyone. She is not anywhere near a national figure.

Casting decisions are made by the director but not exclusively. No one is telling Spielberg he cannot cast who he wants, but they will go through an analysis of who will be the better box office draw. Spielberg will still get his casting Not everyone breathes such elevated air and in fat they shouldn’t. If the studio…

Well someone reading a script has no knowledge of either. So why this should be acknowledged is beyond me. If there is product that looks like it will bring in money, that’s the currency that everyone is interested in.

No it starts with the writer and writers write what they know with authority. More black writers is the answer and Hollywood is trying. There are a ton of diversity programs that turn out black writers ever year and pay their salary in a writers room for 2 years to get them employment experience. Every studio has one.…
