God, I hope not. I mean, these kids have serious hero complexes so maybe that's why they're drawn to each other. I'm glad Stef chewed out Callie in the first episode and demanded, "What is it going to take for your to value your own life?" so hopefully Callie will outgrow hers. Brandon keeps getting entangled with his…

Really?!I know Dascha had a kid but she's been very careful to keep her kids out of the spotlight. I remember an interview she did where they were careful to not to give any details about her children at her request. Dasani looks just like Dascha but she has a very different voice so I didn't really buy the Young Daya…

I grew up in Texas too but I'm Mexican-American and I've found that Takis are a "thing" amongst most Latino groups. Takis are now available in a lot of retail chains like Walmart, Walgreens, etc so I think they're getting mainstream popularity.

Takis are available in NYC and since the characters who seemed most excited about them are Puerto Rican/Dominican/Mexican, they would also know what Takis are.

It's because it was a depiction of the "mammy" stereotype, an image often associated with racism such as the "Little Sambo" post cards and cartoons. For a really great explanation of why the mammy figure is so hurtful, watch the episode "Mammy Dearest" from A Different World where the characters explore their…

Because another baby born means another baby who could carry on their legacy and keep spreading their (hateful) beliefs.

That's basically the premise of The Handmaid's Tale. I read the book when I was a kid and I thought, "Oh this would have to take place like 100 years in the future" and now I'm watching it on Hulu and it's become very apparent to me that all we need is one declaration of martial law and we're all screwed

It's a sect of Christianity the same way Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism, Baptist, and etc are sects of Christianity. Evangelical Christians believe The Bible instructs them to convert as many people to Christianity (specifically, THEIR type of Christianity) as possible and instead of just doing the annoying…

I've heard people try to use that $60 million dollar book deal as an excuse for why Obama shouldn't have had to take that Wall Street speaking gig but anyone who works in publishing can tell you that no author gets those eight figure advances upfront. The Obamas are going to get that $60 million in chunks: a…

I was really disappointed by the original movie. As a lot of people have already mentioned, Justin Simien got way too didactic in his approach and ending up turning all of his characters into sloppy caricatures. I'm only one episode in, but I think Dear White People is much better developed than the movie. In the…

Danette I share your pain/love! My sister and I grew up watching WILAY together and were way more invested in the Henry/Vince love triangle than we are to admit.

I get along with my sister and her two dogs are rescue dogs that were abused by their previous owners so I'm definitely not going to say something like that to her.

My sister genuinely believes her 2 year old dog is our childhood dog (who died 7 years ago) in reincarnated form. I think they have very similar temperaments and the new dog is part dachshund (which is what our old dog was) but new dog definitely has a unique personality. But whatever makes her happy. She was at…

Ironically they're more dysfunctional, if not just as.

What is it with white people always wanting respect for something they should be doing in the first place? What is it with white people always trying to police how POC vent their anger?

You're not really on our side, man. Look at what you just wrote. You are all about yourself: what YOU do, how YOU are one of the "good" white people, how YOU listen to POC. You claim to understand that we have a lot of be raging at, but you still want to police our rage. If we're venting about white people who do x,…

i am trying to tell myself that we all knew trump would sweep most of the midwest because they are all blue collar workers who think he'll magically make the factories that supplied most of their jobs comes back and that's no surprise.

CBS says so too. Clinton might pulls ahead with California and if she wins a handful of midwestern states but I'm nervous.

I love this soundtrack and I love this movie and I love this article for reminding me how much I love this soundtrack and this movie.

Haha that's why I love it! I hope your maintaining your dominance over el Diablo
