The writers haven’t made any sense starting with the second season. Their attitude of, “Let’s take everything that was amazing in season one, trash it and start over from scratch,” confuses me completely.
i feel as tho’ they forced her off the show with a shit tonne of disrespect. not including her on the DVD commentary, relegating her to side-kick status when she started out as one of 2 strong leads. i only watched this pretty silly show because the lead was a woman of colour and because the supporting cast was so…
That makes no sense to kill her. To be honest, the show has gone downhill for a while. It felt like the show was flailing so they doing this fits with other bad creative decisions they made. I stopped watching it this season.
Calling her “Latte Liberal” isn’t hypocritical at all, since Voldie himself was clearly at Starbucks to purchase A GUN or A DRUG TEST FOR SOMEONE RECEIVING WELFARE BENEFITS or Some Other Thing That It Is Acceptable To Pay Money For According To Republicans!
Interesting how they cut out the part of her saying that he cut Medicaid and that he stripped women’s access to public healthcare and that many people depend on those services...
Once Hillary gets the nomination she will go back to saying stuff like this:
They should give scholarships to all the heirs of Titus, Venus, Juba and Bilhah. And if they can’t identify any heirs, they should name scholarships for them and give them to other needy students.
It still blows me away that a black person, Beyonce or not, who dares to make the request, “Stop shooting us!” is considered anti-police by anyone.
I’ve read the director’s bit about why he cast this way, and whilst I do understand it I’m not comfortable with it, partly because it smacks a little of “If you see any racism here then YOU’RE the one being racist” and specifically because the author has said it goes against the intentions of what she wrote.
The worst part is that there is no reason a superhero or sci fi character in a fake futuristic galaxy nothing like our own needs to be White. There is no racial or ethnic component that is central to the character’s reason for acting a particular way, unless imposed by the creator in the first place.
I wrote and produced a play with a black and Latina lead role. The casting call specifically said we were looking for a black and/or latina woman. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LILY WHITE WOMEN APPLIED?!?! NOT EVEN WHITE LATINAS, BUT STRAIGHT-UP WASPS.
It’s not that white people don’t WANT to cast more Hispanic and black actors in non racially specific parts, it’s just that there aren’t enough of us out there! And the white person just had the best audition. Do you want them to get the part JUST because they aren’t white?
White people flip shit when an entirely fictional character isn’t white. Seriously, test a black Spider-Man or a Latino Batman and see what happens.
I hope more than anything ever in my life that she was paid to be there. Not only because that means Trump has to pay people to make him look like he has diverse support but also because she was paid to give zero fucks and read her book. Can she start a book club? Can we pay her to sit and read during all the GOP…
I was in line at a Fresh Market behind a lady who wished the cashier “happy holidays”. The cashier replied, not aggressively but very very distinctly and pointedly: “Mer.ry. Christ.mas.” I was feeling a little wicked, so when my turn came, the cashier very pointedly said “Merry Christmas” to me, and I replied,…
I have no problem with people who say “Merry Christmas.” But if you get annoyed with my cheerful reply of “happy holidays!” - then we have an issue.
Lorena Bobbitt helped get the marital exemption removed from NC rape laws. True Story: The morning this story hit the newspapers across the country (and it was front page, above the fold of EVERY newspaper in the country), the NC legislature was due to vote on removing the marital exemption from our rape laws.
