Almost comes across as the ‘tragic mulatto’ shit. After years of benefiting from mixed race/biracial privilege, comes this silliness. I’m so tired of these buffer class games. Go away Thandiwe, with your brand new African spelling. Smdfh Read more

I feel a bit too raw to read this right now, but I’m glad this article is already up. I feel immense gratitude to Dr. bell hooks for her work and it’s impact for sisters across the decades. She comes out of a Southern Black woman’s experience and her work helped Black women from Africa (like me) heal and grow. I’ve… Read more
that Seth Meyers interview that was so clearly “let’s get ahead of this of this tabloid pregnancy story” and he looked so nervous. it was uncomfortable to watch. Read more
Can I also plead that we don’t need to know the layout of your entire house to hear about something scary that happened inside? The long, overly detailed and confusing architectural descriptions are nearly a convention at this point. Read more
Wow, TrumpsTinyHands, you should get in touch with the authorities and let them know all you know. They’re clearly being outsmarted by some kids from a small island who seem so pure, raised in rural parishes, running to school miles away as youngsters, identified by scouts from childhood, eating local organic farm… Read more

I’m a dark brown Afro Latina that moved to the US from a Latin American country when I was 19. I have to laugh at the people in these comments who are (of course) bending over backwards to excuse the myriad of racism and colorism based casting decisions made for this movie.

Hell, Doom Patrol has a sentient genderqueer street named Danny and, giant,a talking cockroach making out with a giant rat, and a sex demon named “Shadowy Mr. Evans” and that show’s getting a third season somehow. Read more
There’s been a lot of dislike and hate for Courtney online, which I understand to some extent; he was probably the most open about his strategy and he got a lot of residual blowback from the Savannah/Terilisha drama. But I for one really liked him, and thought that his use of the Joker persona to effectively frame… Read more

The summer before I left my conservative Christian household for college, I got my very own laptop for the first time. Realizing this meant I could watch whatever I wanted, I secretly rented the entire SATC series on DVD and mainlined it in a couple months. It was the only thing that even halfway prepared me for the… Read more
I find this counternarrative that the tremendous self-own that was all the reputation snakes was somehow successful to be baffling. The upshot was that Ms. Swift eventually emerged as somebody the world has come to grips with as having the flaws of most normal humans...but the totally incoherent way she went about it… Read more
