Lakeview Terrace is another one, with Kerri Washington, but her husband is (the very white) Patrick Wilson fending off (the very black) cop Samuel L. Jackson. There was some interesting subtext to unpack there. Anyway, it’s not so much home invasion that I’m into, but trashy domestic thrillers in gneral were my jam…

I feel like Canadian R&B covered this trope already with Deborah Cox’s “Nobody’s Supposed to be Here” and Tamia’s “Stranger in My House,” but those songs weren’t exactly about home invasion in the strictest sense.

Can’t wait? Get the bootleg!

lena talks a big game. reminds me of dunham.

“I’ve been very involved in Time’s Up and that movement, and for season two, we’re making sure that women feel safe...[I]f you want to play that game and be disrespectful or misbehave on set with an actress or anyone, I’ll happily call Showtime and say, ‘This person has to go,’ and you will get shot up and it’ll be a…

because the cops get really stressed out when they’ve got a gun in your face, and you have to keep them calm so they don’t shoot you.

So much fucking code words, shit like this should go to the supreme court and the DOJ because the constitutional rights being violated every day by pieces of shits like these.

Not really. It’s legal there and he should be able to practice his state given rights. What’s stupid is that even black people uphold the double-standard for other black people that the law does. What’s stupid is that black men are seen as “stupid” for doing NOTHING illegal by their own people.

Exactly. But the flip side is the American voters keep electing these people.

But, she benefits from biracial privilege, which is a thing. And the very fact she was chosen yet doesn’t see herself as black means a tickbox was checked off (faux diversity), which leads to a valid question: had she been phenotypically black, would she have been picked?

I get what you’re saying but I think you’re being much to kind to Mati Diop. Her seeming nod to blackness comes after the “first black” tag was pinned on; it’s more of an acknowledgement to a reality she was not prepared for, or was in denial of, and now see a potential to benefit from. That ‘blackness’ is not…

“In France, we have a very different relationship in terms of defining blackness. I’m not called black, I’m called a Frenchwoman.” Nah, not true, unless she’s been living in a bubble in the country side.

why was he there?

You better be glad I wasn’t chaperoning....because I would have been out there on the dance floor with the school secretary, show you kids how to slow it down like a bawse!

Why is this relevant in any way? You see something bad happen to Black people and your first urge is to reassure everyone that Boulder is sufficiently white and Liberal?

Not defending anyone, just trying to give some context. Glad the cop has quit.

I’m sure that is exactly what Atkinson’s therapist will tell him when he has to seek treatment for PTSD for this little “run-in” that consisted of being threatened with death.
