Will Smith is a fun movie star, but Keanu Reeves’ reaction to the world of the Matrix and the way he played off of Laurence Fishburne really make the movie great.  It’s cool to see Smith have this sort of reaction to turning down the role as opposed to being bitter.

If you think Kamala isn’t going to make similar politispeak statements, you’re lying to yourself. And that’s not to mention her actual policy record that was bascally the same thing.

...so does Cory Booker not know that the fastest way to lose a Presidential election is by courting white votes at the expense of black ones? Did he just miss Bernie Sanders’ entire 2016 run?

While they are free to give us zero grace and negative empathy, if that’s even a thing. No grace and empathy for Ms. Omar, right? No grace and empathy for the Black people beaten, murdered, and raped by police. Grace and empathy for white people who claim not to know that blackface is wrong in 1988, 1994, 2007, and…

I know the black candidates are going to try to walk the line...I know they are...but why don’t they walk the line that leans toward us. Why don’t they explain to the “good” white why POC don’t have to explain anything to them? Why don’t they explain that it’s not our responsibility to educate them so they will see us…

I know. I still remember the year Do the Right Thing came out, Kim Basinger called the Academy out for not nominating him or the movie during the ceremony (Then, Driving Miss Daisy won). I think it hurt his chances of getting nominated after that.

It’s mind boggling that we was never nominated for directing. Malcolm X, Do The Right Thing, 25th Hour.....how do you ignore those films? I don’t care if someone doesn’t like him. You still can’t deny his talent.

I similarly, but also not so similarly, have a memory block on a Q&A with Spike Lee at my college. At one point during the Q&A, some girl got up and asked “can I be the first white girl to give you a hug?” All I remember was all of us groaning, and Spike Lee actually giving her a hug, everything else is just gone,…

There is very much an in-depth discussion long overdue for Black America about understanding the lives of Caribbean, European, and African Americans. Too much is lost in translation of how Blackness is defined,and often Black America is very dismissive and blind to its own xenophobia.

Sherrod Brown called 45 a racist, verbatim, on Meet the Press - “We have a president who’s a racist” and Chuck Todd tried to pull that “do you believe he is in his heart?” shit. Brown said “Well, I don’t know what ‘in his heart’ means, but ...” and then ran down all of 45's racist actions. I so appreciated that…

Detroit Police Chief James Craig told reporters on Thursday that he also found the post to be racially insensitive. RACIST.

MAGA Country? I thought Chicago was the lawless murder capital that proves gun control doesn’t work? Which is it!?

I also know that Willie Brown is an 84-year-old black man who was voted one of the 10 sexiest men in America in 1984.

Kanye did way worse than Michele ever did and folks still cape for that idiot. Folks treated what she did like she snuck up behind Shirley Chisholm, sliced her hamstrings and then sucker punched Maya Angelou in her privates. Michele caught way more hell for what she did in one evening than R. Kelly caught pre-Lifetime…

Pretty much this. People don’t have to contribute to her financially, nor do they have to justify why they won’t. She pissed off what is very likely her core audience (black folks) so she needs to accept the fact that the same audience is telling her to kick rocks.

I mean, I don’t financially support Whoopi Goldberg, R. Kelly, or Chris Brown. I haven’t bought anything associated with Kanye West since like 2010. I have no idea who Travis Greene is.

Considering Kanye is like the made in Hong Kong bootleg of JayZ (i got a theory he tried to move on Bey and settled for Kim), this is going to be a really funny event.
And when Kanye fails, you know 50.cent is going to be snickering.

Of particularly note, in heavily redacted court documents obtained by The Blast, the “I Love It” rapper takes credit for helping to “revitalize Jay-Z’s career” with his writing and production contributions to “The Blueprint”, an undisputed classic album that did exactly that.

for people saying crews should have hit the guy. do some math. a large, powerful black guy strikes a wealthy, physically unimposing white guy who has massive pull in the industry. in a his word against mine situation. Now, do i need to carry the two for you? i’m white and i see it, nobody would believe crews, they…

The two albums before The Blueprint were both #1s and sold almost exactly as much as The Blueprint. That’s a weird way to revive someone’s career.
