Again, if this spurs a real discussion on Jim Crow laws and how they inform discussions of race a gender to this day I’m all for it. I’m also a sucker for a good love story. Maybe I need to press the chill button and just watch the movie.

“Richard and her brother,” rather

Sorry for the hot take, but I have mixed feelings on the case and the idea of a movie about it in general. Yes this is hearsay, but I have family from Caroline County and just like with everything else, it’s complicated. Did Mildred and Richard grow to love each other in some capacity? Perhaps.

I hate to go here, but the smell!? I can’t imagine the smell indoors! Let that poor animal roam free, damn it!

We are not five days from the Charla Nash story, now this?

+1 and a proud middle school English teacher...

Excuse me, you know he’s probably on the Allen payroll and those timesheets have to reflect at least 10 hours of Woody defense each day when this story comes up (which is everytime Hollywood “celebrates” this man or he has a movie released.)

Until Abbott Laboratories send cease and desist letters to the whole lot. It may work for a while, but when the weight of a corporation protecting their intellectual property comes down on them, they’ll feel it. (Why do you think Tide and Similac theft are now felonies in some states rather than misdemeanors? I really…

It’s actually a mixture of adventure, crony, and mercenary capitalism. Markets need a diversity of ideas and actors to thrive. While desire drives demand, pricing out buyers eventually leads to a decline then collapse. Hamilton probably knew that once they got past the opening hype, eventually it might go the way of…

It could be a lace front with too much lace cut. My mother gets really mad when I go here, but here’s another good example of “too much lace cut”

Is that a wig? I thought it was a weave unit that’s seen better days. I hate to go here, but I do notice that hair extensions on everyone (white women and women of color) tend to be longer than the Northeast. In NYC and Westchester County (which I guess is like Potomac, kinda) the goal is fullness and lush color. In…

I was afraid I’d have limited options in the DMV, but was pleasantly surprised!

Thank you for this...

Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!?

I think the area has decent shopping, but since I moved here from New York I’ve noticed the choices are either super conservative (makes sense) or totally over the top. I think the idea of fashion forward or body conscious design gets lost on some people in the DMV. I think they “rebel” and end up looking like…

From the book: “Because he thinks he’s a badass and he wanted to look cool, and he felt like the song for ‘We Are the World’ was horrible and he didn’t want to be around ‘all those muthafuckas.’”

I read it was because he thought the song was garbage, and knew that most of the funds would go to the producers...Perhaps the truth is in there somewhere?
