Or, as I like to call her, “Gritney”.

It’s not an argument. It’s an explanation of the difference.

Sorry for triggering you. You should probably stay off the internet for your own emotional health.

It is impossible to be in a white majority Anglo-fied country like America and not have that as part of your intellectual and emotional DNA.

Same here. And I was a fan for so long.

I’m truly looking forward to taking a pass and missing this movie.

Yes, you can. You can complain. Since Hari’s point was never completely or primarily about imitating another race, in this case, Hank Azaria doing Apu.

I mean, who still resorts to offensive caricature-like voice acting and tries to pass it off as edgy comedy, right?

Except Mark Ruffalo...who understands its just a damn JOB.

You’re on an anonymous commenting site declaring a commenter is or isn’t black. Based on your own personal interpretation of how a black person presents themselves.

Oh, you KNOW?

That was WRONG.

I agree.

No she won’t. She and I tend to avoid each other and it works. This time, she went too far and it was hella gross. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had said a word to her. She’s a dummy with a following and that’s a scary thing.

The point is that there was no reason to use Phoenix and not a parapalegic actor because Phoenix is unlikely to be shown as the 21-or-younger fully-abled Callahan.

It is about being more or less black to Sheesh. That was what I was responding to. Her opening salvo that kicked off this thread indicating his lack of “unimpeachable blackness” made him unworthy of name “black man”. HER WORDS.

According to Kinte, whom I was responding to, that’s EXACTLY what it indicates and was his retort to my suggesting there would be something other than a child.

No, they can’t. Because a lot of black people aren’t on the web, where you’re kind of language is found. “Unimpeachable blackness” is a pure product of academically-heightened black internet world. Not the world of the neighborhood. You’d have to explain your buzzword to an auntie. And then tell her why she’s not…

Oh, I know what you THINK you’re saying with “unimpeachably black”.
