Religions, man.
Women’s March Co-President Tamika Mallory’s public image has been taking a drumming all week since news broke of her…
Not only is there actual research on that, but that’s both how & why Faux Noise was created - and why I am more than a little spooked by this mandatory thing Sinclair Broadcasting is trying to impose as well as why I am more than a little bit freaked out that Ajit Pai doctored the books to permit the merger that’s…
Sorry, no, this is absolute horseshit.
I was wondering about the #MeToo movement as well. It seems that once media has had it’s fill, they move on to the next movement. In this case, I feel like MeToo was overshadowed by the Florida School Shooting.
Anyone else feel like since Obama left office, we (the collective) are trying more directly to get things…
And yet these same people were weirdly *eyeroll* silent on the pale, white skinned/light green eyed girl playing the main character with described as having “black hair, grey eyes and olive skin.”
Excellent article. One thing though, Rue was not described as blue eyed and blond haired in The Hunger Games. She was described as reminding Katniss almost exactly of her younger, blue eyed blonde sister, EXCEPT for her “dark brown skin and eyes”. Katniss also innnocently says her dark hair resembles moss. So she’s…
Good for her from the perspective of fighting colorism, especially given that Wakanda is meant to be an untouched, thoroughly sub-Saharan country. She would have been visibly out of place.
In the weeks since Black Panther premiered, much has been made of the revelatory experience of seeing such a…
HOLY SHIT, Y’ALL.
What I love are people who cannot conceptualize that systemic injustice means while it may seem like these are legal matters, it is next to impossible to seek redress under existing law because the kind of people in trouble are the same kind that wrote the laws and run the law enforcement and court systems.
So we talk…
White Supremacy is just about wearing white sheets, lynching & setting crosses on fire...it’s starts with making & keeping innocent children ignorant to what’s right & wrong.
Here’s one for anybody who’s spent the last year ducking any and all popular movie conversations, so as to hide the…
I would argue that Blade was even more ahead of the times...because it wasn’t part of the plot that Blade was black. He just happened to be black in the Blade movies anyways.) He wasn’t a black Daywalker....He was a Daywalker that happened to be black.
Well to be fair, Blade’s comic origins were downplayed by design. The studio didn’t want a superhero film and wanted to minimize the Marvel connection as much as possible, since at this time superhero movies were considered a dead genre thanks to the failure of Batman and Robin. They wrote him as a genre action hero,…
I remember this Liefeld masterpiece. Never read it, but I can only assume it was from that Avengers/Alien crossover where Cap was too tough for the face hugger to burst out of his chest and instead digested it with his super patriotic stomach juices.
The thing I’m always privately thinking, as someone who constantly struggles to make ends meet, is how the hell do black women shoulder the insane prices of product and hairdressing? Who’s got a spare couple of hundred every month or so? Something needs to be done to make it more affordable for people. Black women…
I have a niece who is going through what I’ll call her coltish stage. She’s all legs and knees and elbows and jaw, and I know for a fact it’s going to shake out, but I can’t lie to her. This is a tough look compared to the little girls who sort of keep their little girl faces (some of them forever! you know those…
The results of a massive new DNA sequencing project on the New York City subway have just been published. And yup,…
