Hey, I have a question, and an invitation. And I'm very interested in what black gaf has to say on this.
I'm a crappy author on gaf, and I write about characters of every colour and culture on Earth. There simply aren't enough ethnic minorities [western literature context] stories out there; and we have great stories to tell. What do you think of my telling these stories? Specifically of strong black characters. If it makes a difference, I'm an ethnic minority, but not black. And further I'm mostly about commenting on the human condition. Telling the character's truth rather than my own.
From my own perspective, I find race and culture as interesting as gender for example. I'm not a woman, but I find female characters very interesting, and also there really could be more female stories [so to speak], so I write that too.
The invitation is this. If you're an author, and haven't already come by the creative writing thread, and the writing thread OT, please do so. I know its easily missed. Right now, if you live in the UK, there is even a contest in the writing thread for ethnic minorities (by the Guardian, so a pretty major contest), which is pretty rare.

Uh, I find that it's okay. We definitely need more stories from people of different backgrounds. I don't find that Writing OT easily missed since it's posted in almost every day. GirlGaf's been around longer, but the posts are less frequent. Some of the music specific ones are lucky to get a page within a year.

Those of you who own SFV, how's the online for you? I'm... not having the greatest time with it. Like I can have a 5-bar battle lounge and still experience rollback, and this is even with people in my own city, let alone region. Makes it nearly unbearable to play sometimes. Net code is horrendous.
Oh, also, my FighterID is in this email tag, if anyone wants to fight whenever.

Well, that's pretty much why I ordered a powerline adapter in the first place. Relying on Wi-Fi in Miami, Florida isn't gonna get me far.

So long as you don't rely on stereotypes, write what you want. I mean, Stephen King isn't a teenage girl and he wrote Carrie; write what you know is a shitty rationale for exclusion. That being said, King also had his wife check him so he didn't fuck up and I suggest you bounce ideas off someone as well.

Unfortunately.
And ignored. Imagine some other airline flying into New York and trying that shit. Is there an equivalent situation? That article about the Asian cop and different minorities slowly finding their choice might be scary. Selectively voicing opposition may cause harm. Not being outraged is suspect.
Following those links, got me to this:

Melissa Harris Perry not taking any shit:
She walked it back later on but damn. She must be hot.
One of the last pieces of nonfiction I read was about a black woman and the author was white. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. But the book I read, three parts dead, is more sci-fi fantasy. Just don't fallback on stereotypes, make them genuine and if race is absolutely an aspect to the story then be well versed in the nuances. It's easy to let your own privileges cloud your perception of what you think it might be like for this black character.

1. Keke has ALWAYS been a bad shortie. Though if you follow her on IG, you can see a little ratchet in her lol.
2. So, anyone else here feel that this thread feels like its lost its direction? Way too many topics being talked about.
3. Ya'll wanna set up a BlackGAFTwitter follow list? (@agentzeronine)
Does this explain her entertaining Rachel Dolezal's delusions and going full hotep on Star Wars?

The Dolezal shit made me stop watching. Did she really go off on Star Wars?

I really didn't expect her, of all people, to entertain such bullshit..haven't watch her show since.

You know I find it funny that the public demonizes (mostly minority) people for having marijuana in their system but you have businesses in some states making millions off of it.

I find it funnier that the state's who have legalized it are now making sooo much revenue from taxes..you'd think everyone else would have enough common sense to do the same.
Time.com said:
Meanwhile, these same states that oppose it are cutting funds to schools, welfare programs, and many others which folks in need can't afford to lose.
These are good, haha
I was a fan of hers but that Dolezal shit completely turned me off and I stopped paying attention to her.
And she was the only one that really entertained that shit.

A) Did anyone here perchance get the Mighty No 9 demo last fall and know how to get it to actually run? Like I see a folder with MN9Game but no exe to run Is there something I'm missing?
B) There is too much fuckery going around the past few days so I'm going to pull a play from Malyse's play book and post some good cosplay I came across:
She's cosplaying Emerald Sustrai from RWBY
You can check out more of her cosplay (and her tumblr in general) here.
C) Malyse, have you seen this Kickstarter? Seems like it would be right up your alley.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
That took real talent. Seriously I'm blown away.
I wonder what the numbers would have been if this was the actual trailer. Heck this probably was the trailer shown in china.
I know this is gaf and all but that was obviously a troll post. A pretty great one at that.
I kinda agree. It's an enjoyable movie but it's not doing anything groundbreaking. That said I'm sure there were other movies nominated that happen to mediocre as well.

Holy shit..that music really sells it. I know I'm in the minority here, but I will say, of all the movies ignored for an Oscar, I thought this one was ok for a pass. The acting was blah, and the thing felt like an advertisement..until the end, when it literally became an advertisement. It just wasn't that great..
In light of this, I went back to listen to an episode of the podcast another round she was a guest on and she basically admitted to making a mistake. She said that she projected her life experiences onto Dolezal. She grew up in the 70s and has a white mom and white half siblings and her mom is from the region of Spokane, Washington. She thinks that then it was safer for a white woman to try to pass as black when she has a black family as opposed to being a walking example of miscegenation. Unfortunately she admits that Dolezal never said anything like this and she forced that narrative on her when she interviewed her. She also brought up having white siblings and that they can experience anti-blackness being her sister but that's neither here nor there.

Those two moments were severe bald spots in her pretty good public career. Turned a lot of people away from her.
I mean, I get it, when you become a public figure, your mistakes are seen by millions and with current technology, will then be seen by millions more. But she really messed up.
I hope in later projects she doesn't entertain shit like that. Even some of the best social activists have screwed up and gotten read for filth at times. I know James Baldwin did. DuBois earned it with his Talented Tenth bullshit. It'll continue to happen.
But if becomes a consistent problem, then yeah...

That was amazing. The satire was so real it hurt.
And MHP's departure is sad. Like many people, I felt betrayed by the Dolezal interview, thought I could see that she probably felt a way due to her own looks and background. But this preempting and depowering by MSNBC is bullshit.
Yeah but at least she owned up to making a mistake with the Dolezal thing and I also see why she fell into that trap considering her background and family.
