Asking for a plate when ain't no plates.

yup… "What Happened Miss Simone" was at Sundance in 2015 and was released late fall in-time for Oscars (was nominated). it's on Netflix and Amazon.

Honorable Mention: We allow you to nod in agreement when we say "F*** Jesse Jackson!"

Honorable Mention: We eat watermelon and ribs around you.
Truly Honorable Mention: Hennessey. We drink Henn around you.

Fam, stop snitchin' on us. dontchoo know we at war? revolutions 'posed to start in like *mumbles day and time* and you givin' away secrets?!

MSNBC = Mainstream Snarky News-y Brunette Caucasians.

But seriously tho… this is will get used against her at everywhere else she even thinks about gettin a job at. But people forget: MSNBC was never all that diverse or inclusive at all. It wasn't until 2010—midterm elections that they got around to bringing some flavor to the network. Now they running 'em all off.

MHP can't work in TV no more… I love her, but you best believe every network is watching this like "Oh so THIS is how you get down when it goes left?" Trust they'll find a blackface that will smile and dip quietly.

gotcha… i figured that was what you were illustrating. It's sad that Noah has to stand up for this… It was never all that important to Stewart. I remember when he won an emmy and took his all-white writing staff up there and practically bragged about their lack of diversity, so i know it's entrenched.

Jon Stewart had mostly white writers… for years he had nothing but white writers. Over the years they've only had about 7 non-white writers including Noah, Cenac, Larry Wilmore, Jessica Williams… all those folk but Jessica left. And when Noah took over, he basically kept the same writers, so…

the movie was shot mostly in 2013/2014… it got shelved and didn't have a distributor for a minute… but here we are.

Me too… but that's the loophole. You can do a biopic about anybody without the estate's permission as long as your movie isn't based on source material (books, etc) that the estate owns. I can do a biopic on you without your permission as long as i base my movie on stuff that's public domain or stuff that comes from…

Nina's ex, Lisa's dad, was a piece of work… she's still scarred by it. Just talk to her about it…

Uncle Conk Slick (as I occasionally call Louis Farrahkan), is like my crazy Black uncle that did time back in the day and turned his back on White Jesus and got wisdom from Clarence the 13th back in the 60s…

This is sad… I swapped DMs with Nina's daughter (Lisa Stroud) about this a couple years ago when the project was starting to get traction. She was L-I-V-I-D. Her 3 problems with the project were as follows:

Community.

Blocks.

Another reason:

agreed. that dolezal chick just had me wanting to cuss out every brother that ever souped her head up into thinking this was cool. cuz you know it was some bruhs who caught on early but kept they lil amber rose dreams going thru her.

Rachel Dolezal made a fool out of MHP… MHP got too "black elite intellectualized" for her own good and needed to just use some regular blackass common sense and tell that lying two-faced spray-tanning raggedy jamband braided heffa where to go.
