They usually have to be able to act. There. I fixed it. :)

Internalized sexism. Plus the fetishization of queer relationships.

My best friend in Junior High and I met because we were both into science fiction. We had a wonderful time sharing the books and movies and TV shows we loved.

Aanyone else want to join the Jezebel Barkhad Abdi Fan Club I am starting right now?

He's just floating along this crazy…

Hmm.... first person to turn this back on black women being welfare queens wins. Go!
