My favourite is the Christian demons were all taken and repurposed from other cultures gods and demigods, as a way to discredit those pagan and polytheistic religions that Christianity claimed to trump with their “one-god” system.

Exactly! Hinduism has strong followings in Kenya and Uganda, a tribe in Africa following the religion isn’t out of the ordinary. And if nothing else, Shuri is huge into outside culture.

And yet a country that is smack dab in the middle of Africa worshiping an Egyptian Cat God is all fine and dandy? Honestly, this seems like such a stretch. This is 100% a writer taking interesting concepts and adapting them to fit a story, its not appropriation in anyway.

> It is, in the most literal sense of the phrase, cultural appropriation

That and I AM AT WORK - I think the vast majority of us are at work on here.

Does anyone like them? Why waste money on something that annoys the people who bring in the clicks? I go to blogs to READ. Give me more written content to feed my internet corrupted attention span and insatiable need for new information. Something I can skim while I’m half listening to whatever I’m supposed to pay…

I really hate Jezebel video. All the video clips are from articles but the articles aren’t there. There are no links to the articles. They just randomly come up. How many times do I have to be told that Fergie got bit by Tarantino? 50 times apparently. Hey did you know that Fergie got bit by Tarantino? Oh, you did?…

Seriously though, it seems even more telling that Dunham characterized his lines as a “massive insult of white women” rather than a fairly tame insult towards her character/show (and clueless hipsters like her) specifically.

..that’s not irony.

They are absolutely the same kind of dogs that we take as pets here.

T’Challa’s cool and all, but everyone I know who’s seen the movie walked out of the theater wanting to be a Dora Milaje and that’s telling as hell. Okoye’s the GOAT.

In a 2010s kind of world, I’m glad we still got our girls.

Ok, I think he’s pretty handsome, and I don’t want anyone to hate me for this but from a profile, he always looks like Nick Cannon to me. I can’t unsee it. Only in profile, but it’s there.

I miss Blade. I’d give anything to see him show up in the new MCU.

I really liked the Blade trilogy. Even the third one, which admittedly, was clearly the weakest.

Actually:

Every idiot who says that they hate drama is always the catalyst for drama.

If she was 18, you wouldn’t be ashamed to say that she’s a little hot piece of ass.

A large portion of Israel’s Jewish population is of Arab and North African descent. Natalie Portman is definitely not part of that portion of Israel. Her mother’s family came to Israel from the US. Her father’s side from Europe. There is nothing Asian about Natalie Portman.
