it isn’t fucking news that the rules are different for white men

The producers seemed determined to secure a known quantity to lead the film

Right, Salt did very well and the role was intially supposed to go to a male actor before Angelina was cast.

So the production companies/casting directors are upholding white sumpremacy along with the actors who chose to take these roles either directly or indirectly. We’ve (POC) BEEN talking about it this, I just don’t have time for trying to parse out the words or possible intections of those who pretend like that’s not…

Exactly. Why pretend when your statements boil down to: well I got mine so...*shrug emoji.

it’s not really up to the actors

thanks can’t take the credit, it all goes to Fredrick Douglass who continues to do great things:

try deviant art. There are people whose pages are made solely for modeling/dynamic posing.

And when constituents complain in the hopes that federal law/guidelines will prevail, that idiot will refuse to hold these people accountable just like she stated in her committee hearing and will say its the states problem except the states have already said they have no responsibility to provide a quality education.…

It will change once most of the perm is off but unless you get a color of have damage for one reason or atother you got what you got. This is a pic off the internet closest to my hair pattern/length while wet, when it dries game over though because it does not stay like this unless I slather on the product and…

My protein bonds are strong like bull, so it doesn’t damage my hair or change the pattern permanently, but I only straighten it 1-2x month max because when I do it usually lasts about 2 weeks. Some people have hair that is very very sensitive to heat styling and manipulation, for those people drying the hair stretched…

I am a 4c. When I was transitioning I washed my hair every 2 weeks with mizani ph neutral shampoo and moisterfuse conditioner with occasional deep conditioning (1-2x/month) with hask placenta olive oil (they’ve since changed the formula and I dont like it as much). I used (and still use) Giovanni Direct Leave in (I…

I am definitely a product junkie and Target is the worst of dealers. My sister has dreads and she loves the Alikay products, I will definitely check them out. I have super thick 4c with major shrinkage so it does not submit to weak attempts at moisture, with the Miss Jessie’s my hair was like, oh that’s cute. It…

I tried some Miss Jessie’s from a family member and it is one of the most watery do nothing products, definitely not worth the elevated price point. The only brands I spend more than drug store prices on are Mizani or Carol’s daughter and even then only when there is a sale.

Lol, I love Roxanne Gay. She basically says: It’s all right. White people will probably love it, maybe next time for the rest of us. 

It wouldn’t be the first time. My favorite “every person of color” actor is Said Taghmaoui.

Exactly. I read a little more on IMDB and it appears that the revenge is not necessarily brought upon the staff per se, but I still winced at some of the plot points. I need a black person or any person of color to fall on their sword and let me know if it’s as, to borrow a term from Ice-T, “slave” as it looks.

They do an excellent job of adapting the novels which are extremely well written. Perhaps try reading the first book and if it’s up your alley get a extra heaping of goodness with the show

hoping there’s not some sort of mandingo-vibe to his role in this movie.
