Ice Cube: “Maybe we should have put a slave in Staight Outta Compton.” 5:00 mark.

It’s pretty fucking rich that people are cool with consuming and confronting slavery in the form of entertainment while gasping at the horror of it all, but refuse to budge when it comes to things like criminal justice reform, income inequality, etc., and acknowledging the lingering effects of a country built on the…

YOU MEAN BLACK PEOPLE DO OTHER STUFF AND JUST LIKE LIVE THEIR LIVES AS BEST THEY CAN LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?

I’m tired of slave movies, too. We only get kudos when presenting a racial struggle. It’s frustrating. I loved the movie Creed— Ryan Coogler presented a thoughtful, nuanced, beautifully made picture, and the weakest thing about it was Sylvester Stallone as Rocky. I can’t stand blood sport . . . and yet I was…

I think maybe we’re a groundhog’s day situation. I’m going to grab a toaster and get in the tub to test out the theory.

He’ll get criticism for this, but I really love it as a conversation starter for white people who are afraid or don’t know how to talk about white privilege. There’s always 10 different opinions on how and when it should be done, but kudos to him and these awesome ladies for opening a dialogue.

Exactly! He seems to see his privilege and tries to see something with it

This guy, Macklemore? This is the kind of try-hard that I like.

Stories like this are really important for people who wave away concerns about concussions with “they knew what they were getting into when they chose football.” They really, really didn’t. When most of today’s pro players started out in the game, they knew about the possibility of physical damage but the neurological…

Methinks it’s the very smug smirk (also radiates from her eyes).

that jeans blazer outfit is no joke and i love it
