While, yes, the film has universal themes, the people in it are distinctly brown, based off of well-established Middle Eastern folklore

Nah, the family doesn’t get a pass. 6 months and you don’t hear from momma at all? They claim they thought she was at a hospital but no one went for a visit or even tried a phone call?

I know these lists are created precisely for people to click and argue, but yeah, hard agree on this one. Michelle could have easily replaced Mumbles the Pop Star or the reality show dermatologist. It kind of hurts me in my soul to see them next to AOC, Dr. Ford, and Stacey Abrams.

Oh no, outside of Portland, you’re in pure white supremacist land. Oregon was founded by white supremacists, and it’s alive and well, particularly in eastern Oregon.

let’s also remember Black Santa as he lived, unable to hail a taxi

This administration has always been really shitty with their cover-ups.

Now can we do one about how Jesus became so widely accepted as real?  

Could you please delete the harassing comment that some troll in the greys left in response to this commenter? I flagged it for harassment, and it needs to go.

Thank you. I appreciate the good vibes. I want more discussion on mental health issues, especially in the black community. I recently realized that I’ve always been depressed, though I didn’t have a word for it as a child. I think I had my first panic attack at 6. My heartbreaks so much for McKenzie and for her…

Starring to keep this at the top. Super important.

I hate to be this person, but would you consider removing the method she used to complete her suicide?

If the author expressed that Coogler should’ve been Time’s POTY instead of “journalists” I could see your point. But all I got out of this article is that, while we should honor and revere those who died or risked death doing their jobs nobly, let’s not gloss over or completely overlook those who, although not having…

I’d kind of like Mr. Coogler, (Not that he isn’t doing fantastic on script already) to get with Ta-Nehisi Coates for some (hopefully) fantastic writing collaboration. Film or comics, I’m happy either way. Both, better do both. 

He picked an excellent muse in Michael B. Jordan. I hope that we also get a limited series tv show at some point with the two of them as well.
