    This explains a lot, actually. I live in Georgia, about 20 minutes from white power/Klan rally central (Stone Mountain). I don't dwell as much on whether or not to call white supremacists Nazis because as far as I can tell (and what they love to post on my neighborhood's NextDoor and write on the flyers they stuff in

    Ok, I've got your number. Have a good day.

    I agree. I guess I fall more on the side of weariness than outrage - I've heard too many fantasies about what if the South had won in my lifetime to ever want to watch it on TV.

    Underground Airlines is exactly why I am wary of this project. The black characters were not authentic and as a result, an interesting premise fell flat.

    A friend said I was being too harsh when I called Scott Walker the human equivalent of Wonder Bread. She owes me an apology.

    Exactly. I didn't understand why they were all in the living room but a group of sick kids are awful and whiny. One isn't too bad but their awfulness increases exponentially with each additional child.

    "Also, I’m traumatized by Ruby “suck[ing] junk” out of baby Dre’s snotty nose"

    Bianca was a bitch but spent a lot of time trying to get people together - she'd say something bitchy and then you would see her in the background of four scenes doing someone's makeup or helping them with their outfit.
    Acid Betty is getting a full bitch edit. That said, Reddit is delusional about this show.

    His perspective is understandable as a representative of the state of Vermont. That is his flaw and has been his flaw - he has spent most of his political career in Vermont and his constituency has never demanded a perspective on racial inequality. Hillary, on the other hand, is familiar with the African American

    Because many African Americans, myself included, don't believe that addressing class inequality will address racial inequality. And when challenged on that issue, Bernie consistently comes back to class inequality only.

    As someone who lived through Rubio's stint in the FL Legislature and his run for Senate, the idea that he doesn't have a huge ego speaks to how messed up this GOP slate really is. The idea that Rubio might slide in to a nomination by looking reasonable by comparison terrifies me.

    And even in season 1 he had no exit strategy to get there. Knowing what we know now, Tasha is up to her neck in his business - not just being "addicted" to that life, but an active participant in their complex finances (legit and otherwise) and helping him strategize. When she wanted to spend more time with him at the

    Sometimes it seems like Tasha is the only one who understands what they do for a living. Even in season 1.

    There are many oral/written post slavery narratives - you'd think more would find this sentiment, but I have never heard of the former slave who refused to accept freedom and abandon their master outside of slavery/Confederacy apologists.

    No, they used to let the public do that.

    So Storm is still going to be a cameo role, then?

    The point wasn't the hustle to get a job - it was about earning what you have. That's why it was a big deal that Andre took Zoe's moment from her - she built her vlog on her own and earned the right to pitch it.

    Pharrell was attacked for his album cover and objectification of women on his new single a month ago. If you're going to complain about lack of Internet outrage towards black hip hop artists, you should probably start reading sites other than AV Club.

    I think once you go on a public begging campaign, yes. Yes it is.

    And probably because they don't want anything unsavory included in the movie. They've done their best to pretend her marriage to R. Kelly (and everything that implies) never happened.
