It literally is
It’s not that she’s talking to Jay. It’s that she’s pushing into Bey’s personal space. Probably would have reacted differently if the woman had actually had the grace to stand up and talk to him without blocking out Bey.
Hahahaha B’s face! Imagine being that petty when a woman dares to speak to your husband.
“One theory holds that Americans had infiltrated the Chernobyl nuclear power plant...”
I’ll add my perspective into the mix. I’m from Miami and I lived and worked in London for a while. From my experience, there’s two different types of Black people in the UK, the ones who are fully conscious of the fact that they’re second class citizens and the ones who pretend they are not. Racism is just as much of…
Harewood’s comment is idiotic. If you’re going to play those scenes, you do your research so you can emote with nuance. Play my people right or don’t do it all.
Well it WAS trash - not just for the name bungling. There’s a fair amount of Black Brits whose families came from the Caribbean territories - the history of slavery there is rich and valid. Then there’s the fact that Black Brits haven’t *just* arrived in the UK and have had to go through a lot of shit to be seen - it…

The crazy part is she still stands by her claim that the five kids were guilty and the guy whose DNA matched and confessed was just another accomplice.
Dear Linda:
What the fuck is a “fair stone?”
I mean Olu is played by an African American!
Whenever this conservation comes up, frankly a lot of blacks in this country come across as arrogant Americans in the sense that we, and only we get to define what “black” while often ignoring the experiences of blacks in the rest of the world. As for British actors taking roles from American actors, I can name any…
Ugh, gag me. We could tell this was what they were trying to do, and it was trash. Even his explanation is try-hard. The way this writer speaks explains why Nola is so insufferable.
This is why you should never vote for a former prosecutor for any elected position.
