It’s simply counterintuitive to argue that problems related to race can be fixed by ignoring race altogether. In practice, colorblind casting isn’t a form of acceptance or progress: It can just as easily be erasure wrapped up as benevolence. Read more
When asked if the medical board stands behind the content on the website, Varghese replied, “It’s basically what’s in the law. It just summarizes what’s in the law. The information is up-to-date as to what the law says, and the law requires us to put those pictures in there... Everything that you see on the website is… Read more
So you admit that it’s irrelevant and you bring it up anyway? Who cares how much the belt is? The point is Barney’s assumed he couldn’t afford it because he was black. Same with the young lady and the purse. Read more
Well of course he’s not going. Can’t have his wife out here looking like a punk! The Smiths tend to be a little too peace and love for my taste sometimes so I was very impressed with Will’s statement that the industry feeds into itself so every branch needs to be working towards diversity. Read more
Oh, we said that. Read more
Except, the movie exists? And can do that for him? There’s a legacy there that can represent that cause. Does he really think maybe getting a trophy in a nice suit is going to honour the victims of molestation by the Catholic Church (yes the WHOLE FUCKING CHURCH fight me). I’m with YogaMorte. That movie was great and… Read more
How about no? While I 100% believe that one or both of the Smiths are queer to some degree, it’s NOT OUR BUSINESS. You don’t get to decide to out people asshole. Read more
The issue is BOTH. The industry and the academy are a feedback loop. If the few black films that get made don’t get recognized, fewer films will be made. If fewer films are made, there are fewer films to nominate. Step and repeat. Read more
That is exactly what it is. I tweeted out some excerpts from the Mass Communication textbook that I’m studying for my MA in Mass Comm and the research shows that in media, it’s literally a bunch of people creating for themselves and their peers, and disdaining the audience for not appreciating their genius. It even… Read more
included a raised fist emoji and pointing index emoji—both in black skin tone. Read more
No. Do not want. Yuh done start bad with this “Nancy will be diverse” nonsense like an ass. You couldn’t just say “she won’t be white?” Not to mention, WE DON’T NEED ANY MORE FUCKING COP SHOWS. Read more
what is the point of calling out “the system” when you are the system and you’re the one who has to make the change? You’re talking to your DAMN self. Fix your own house before you throw stones. Clooney is useless unless he recognizes his own culpability. Read more
The card was poorly designed and it was an incredibly easy mistake to make in the heat of the moment. I’m sorry, I just don’t see this as Steve’s mistake at all, but rather a combination of poor design and institutional failure. Read more
ME TOO! I thought they were dressing up like the characters and using Instagram for some kind of elaborate cosplay. This is less exciting. Read more
Nope. Never cared for him. His kids are adorable though. Read more
That’s not what this book does though. There’s a difference between acknowledging that slaves did indeed have moments of levity during the horrors of slavery, and showing the slaves as happy to serve their enslavers. That is a distinction that needed to be made. I can’t even believe I remember this, but the American… Read more
Weird. I had kind of always assumed there’d be more of each show, but that it would kind of follow the MCU arc with one season with each character, then Defenders, then season 2 of each show, then season 2 of Defenders etc etc. Otherwise we’re gonna end up with far more story for DD and JJ than for the others. Read more
NAH. Jim Carrey was still the best choice for Olaf, he just played it as comedy instead of gothic horror. I feel like Olaf has to have the physicality down; tall and skinny, inherently a little creepy, older and with notable facial hair. Obviously some of that can be faked, but the most important part to me is the… Read more
The criticism of SOOC is legit, but it doesn’t diminish the performances that were given. I watched it today and the guys who played Cube and Eazy-E should both have gotten acting nods. Read more
OMG this is so juicy I can’t even control myself! The bloggers TLo said that they HATED The Danish Girl and found his performance to be offensive as is dipped too far into outright drag. I’m watching it myself tonight to judge it on my own, but if he wins this would be the third year in a row that a cishet white guy… Read more
