The onus should really be on the casting and directors. An actor isn’t realistically going to turn down work (although it’d be cool if more of them would call attention to the discrepancy in appearance, in interviews after the film has been released). Change needs to come from the inside, and actors are probably the…

They’re protesting her not wanting to vote for what she considers a fiscal backbreaker of a bill. So maybe she thinks this IS the morally correct thing to do. The woman yelling at her in that bathroom about family members being deported due to Arizona SB 1070 didn’t even make sense. It didn’t go into effect until…

Which is absolutely abysmal fucking behavior as well, and only reinforces my point. If people on both sides think their issue is worthy of harassing whomever they want and the rest of us cheer them on then we’re headed for even more of a shitshow then we have right now.

2018 AG primary: James 40.3%, Teachout 31%

It’s not a deflection to state that Beetz deserves to be considered a black woman despite the spectrum of skin color. This article makes no suggestion as to what her responsibility is here despite people “rightfully” criticizing her for accepting a professional opportunity. In fact, it’s likely her publicist is right…

And you’re using the same tired approach of pitting women against each other which only serves to maintain the status quo.

I agree. I also think it’s really unfair to put the onus on these actresses to turn down roles (when it’s not like there are that many good roles for WOC, even light skinned ones) and insist that a darker-skinned woman be cast because that would just lead to that actress being categorised as ‘difficult’ and…

Agreed with the main point here, but also want to rep my fellow biracial people, and say that being accused of not being “Asian, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, etc.” enough is really triggering and something we have to navigate endlessly. I find it exhausting to both receive racist treatment and also be told I’m not fully…

“So a team member saw the noose, and was understandably alarmed by it, but it wasn’t a direct act of intimidation. Still can’t really answer why a garage door pull would be tied like that though...”

Gonna be a bit hard to see her point on representation and “Jewface” knowing she donned the most textbook definition of Blackface for her Comedy Central show back in the day. And before people start in with that “she was young” excuse, she was 37. Old enough to know better.

It’s fairly common for White women married to Black men to feel overly comfortable disrespecting other Black folk, especially when they’re convinced that this marriage is “proof” that they’re not racist. (And if said Black husbands/boyfriends are themselves antiBlack, they’re not going to call out bad behavior because…

I think like you said, he has his own piece along with a lot of others since he had the Sunday night spotlight against Mahomes. As a Ravens fan and Lamar stan, my BP was all over the place last night but it felt great seeing our squad finally clearing the KC hurdle. Hopefully it’s a sign of great things to come…

The good news about this race is that it shows that Democrats are still pretty fired up and ready to kick Trumper ass.

“In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”

Sir Lewis! He looks absolutely stunning! 

For sure right here. This is where you get into that little specific part though - best PLAYER, or best WNBA player? Because if you account for the other stuff, she wins hands down and all this talk needs to stop.

It’s Cynthia Cooper. Multiple times I saw her drive lanes 1-on-4 or 1-on-5 even and school opposing defenses, then pull up for a dagger 3 on the next possession while the whole defense fell back to defend the lane.

As someone who is a complete homer and grew up in the 90s/00s it has to be Cynthia Cooper. That four year run was was special and played a part in making Houston sports in the 90s/early 00s something great.

I honestly haven’t the slightest idea what you think you’re talking about here anymore.  Shriek all you like about Democrats having the numbers; they don’t have the votes in the Senate, and that is the only number that matters for every single thing you’ve said.

We should “normalize” not womb trolling famous women for simply going outside in normal clothes. But. The blog that has reported every last detail of every K-Klan relationship drama is suddenly above relationship gossip? John Mulaney cultivated the image of a sensitive man just trying to do his best by his wife. It is…
