Amy Sherald is one of my favorites, and an artist I’m hoping to add to my collection. I’m so excited for this.

If a black person was mistreating the story of another marginalized group, they’d absolutely get criticized for it. We just don’t happen to do that anywhere near as often as white people do it in film. We rarely get the opportunity, and we’re rarely interested

Yeah...because we focus on telling our own stories.

This is the best Kinja

He would never kneel because he probably does believe it is divisive (and damages his brand). He’s more likely to make a…

I love LeBron but he’s all about “unifying” mealy mouthed platitudes. He would never kneel. His political maneuvering is Obama-esque at its best
