It was such a good documentary, sort of heart breaking too. You could feel Qtip’s frustration and Pfife’s desire for him to just take him at face value and be a friend even though he was sabotaging himself. It seemed like the kind of unresolved hurt you’d find in any close family.
I worked with a guy named Carmelo, and that's what everyone called him.
This is not an “all or nothing at all” situation we are speaking about here. We are legion ya dig, there isn’t some sort of finite well of representation, but you would think so based on the way things currently are. It’s not a seesaw of colour where by if we suddenly start to show more diversity then light skinned…
Being angry with the casting of Zoe Saldana because someone thinks that she’s a black woman who isn’t black enough to portray a black woman is the wrong approach.
I didn’t grow up there (NYC), but I did spend many summers there in the late 80's and 90's, and I go 1-2 times a year to visit with family. Clearly this was enough to have this song burrowed deep into my psyche.
“Beautiful Mt.Airy Lodge”.... I don’t even know why or how I know this.
Well the gentleman seemed overwrought that this man’s friends and teammates were looked down upon for supporting him. If he is just bursting will all this sympathy now, why could we not extrapolate that he would be willing hire him if he were in a position to do so. Does the weeping, moaning, and gnashing of teeth for…
I didn’t “invoke” anything, you arose from the depths all on you own. The point flying high over your head is that your desire to advocate for him (and you are advocating), is part of what constitutes rape culture. Also if he had been expelled perhaps have crossed the threshold of just accusations. So are going to set…
Your prusumption is that these institutions and employers would not have the same attitudes regarding the situation as this man teamates, and THAT is the reality. You put on your freshly ironed cape, I’m sure you’d hire him or nah?
The issue is you keep using the term “the public eye” as though it does not pertain to yourself and others that may have similar views as you, and rape culture being what it is, you likely represents the majority opinion. It’s interesting that you think that a white man in this country who can afford to attend…
But you, “the public”, are on here giving him the benefit of the doubt, and rest assured there are more like you, so dry your eyes.
Muva gives facts.
We (guyanese) call them “plaits”, my Jamaican friend says“cane row”
I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed of the fact that I can name everyone is these photos.
Last thing I remember him in consistently was a few episodes of Psych
Been black my whole life too, and I’ve managed to avoid appointing myslef as a human paper bag test.
With a scenario like that, it wouldn’t even have to be a real person like Adele. Imagine of they made Hairspray with a thin person as Tracy, they would go ballistic.
The Black community should show a united front not a divided one as usual.It was a beautiful opportunity to show how diversified the Black community is.
