It goes into more depth...showing that TPTB were well aware that the accessories were problematic, and just didn’t care.

When it starts streaming on Netflix, I’m in! Fantasy Island was always The Love Boat meets the Twilight Zone. But, this is not worth 13$, soda and popcorn, gas and Atlanta traffic!

Foster? Adoption? Step? Frat?

I read somewhere else that they dated 30 years ago...all I could think was Pammy, just have middle aged woman/old man fun with a former flame.

She’s light skinned with blonde hair, but she’s clearly Black.

I think some people are confused depending on the photo. She’s light skinned with blonde hair...but, clearly a Black woman.

Ah, yes. I have a friend that teaches at one of the most prestigious Liberal Arts Colleges...and yeah. It finally makes sense why many working class/middle class students can’t use our state grant to get in...

Curtis “Ice Cube” Jackson. But to be fair, because NWA is life...whether it is a library, learning center or even speakers paid to come to the school. ALL the students can benefit from an endowment/gift. 500,00o dollars in under the table payments just goes into the pockets of a few and taking a spot that might have…

It’s interesting that you mention this. I often wonder how much foreign money influences this? If a Chinese, Saudi or Russian billionaire wants to get their kid into an American school, does that skew it even more?

Ahem...I’ll see your Stanley, and raise you a Ralph! He was totally into Lana. LoL! I watched this as a kid, and much like in “I Love Lucy” where I could never figure out why Lucy couldn’t be in the show, I never understood why Jack wouldn’t want to be with someone as sexy as Lana...

Why is that weird? Black people are not a monolith. Yes, there are shared ideas and a certain pragmatism, but to act as if we all don’t have individual thoughts, ideas, and values...that’s pretty darn narrow minded and slightly bigoted.

Chris Cillizza...there is a level of smugness to him that is just so unbearable.

Yup. My boyfriend’s white and I was like Dafuq, when I found out, while in New Orleans, right before Essence Fest that he’d never heard of Frankie Beverly. I immediately schooled him. Still SMDH.

Agreed. I don’t like to police anyone’s language. I also hate the ‘respectability politics’ that anyone who isn’t a straight, white, English speaking male has to abide by. But, I just don’t think it serves her, or the world. For some it’s about reclaiming, but I just don’t think we can reclaim it. 

I’m Generation X if you must know ...I have family members who use it. However, I’m just not a fan and I know people who are fine with using it, but these are the same folks who will want to fight someone who isn’t ‘down’ for using it. Solange Knowles statement was carefully crafted...but, I’m pretty sure if someone…

For me she has always had a “I just rolled out of bed, and picked up whatever was on the floor (but couture) and put it on. I mean that in the most complimentary way!

Eh. Personally, as a Black woman I wish she wouldn’t have used the N word, even with an ‘a’. That bothers me a lot more than a few flowery words that have no real impact. As a non famous Black person, I have to navigate through a world where non Blacks use it because she and other Black celebrities do.

That’s the father, Mossimo Giannulli. 

I loved me some “Desmonds”, but they were NOT the Cosby Show. They were more working class and the relationship between Porkpie (West Indian) and that Bougie Ghanaian...it was more 227, Good Times, with a touch of Sanford and Son.

Due to physicality or character? Or both? I’d be curious in terms of Anistan’s and Johansson’s characters what you find appealing?
