Remember when Ja Rule cried in one of his videos?
You might also see if your library has ebook copies. My library often has copies, though unfortunately because of ridiculous licensing nonsense they often only have, like, one or two sometimes two digital copies to lend.
But it's worth checking to see what's available if you like ebooks better.
It's a library; not a house of ill repute!

Spades? Oh..nevermind..
What gives you that impression?
I think it used cliches that any race could understand, but nothing felt truly black about it. Fences had that affect on me. No way you could replace those characters with white ones.
Was Moonlight meant to feel "black" or was it meant to put black people in situations we always see white people in? You don't see a gay love story that tells the story of a young man, really ever with black people. White people get that shit all the time. It was a movie with black people in roles we see all the time.
That last sentence is exactly how i felt.
It wasnt a bad movie though.
Edit:
You werent wrong... beautiful thing
this movie description isnt far off.
This aint nothing, just wait until february.
Snakes and fuckery.
I just had to have a sad laugh at the situation. Like this White chick was damn near in tears over witnessing this group of Middle Eastern dudes experience racism, but then drops some subtle and casual racism about the Indigenous dude. Absolutely zero self awareness

"Extreme Vetting" is a combo of the Paperbag Test and asking the refugee if they are Christian. Plus a "gut feeling".
The stories of black LGBTQIA are so erased in this country that a movie about a gay black man doesn't feel black, huh? This is why intersectionality is so important.

Chairman cheeto got us amped. That and today i learned Wikipedia was just propaganda and i should believe nothing about the tulsa race riots. And i should go to Sweden to plan the revolution. It won't be televised cuz it starts in a place that's too cold. As a matter of fact, it's been going on for hundreds of years, just no one has televised it because it's too fricken cold.
And Jerry Rice, go kick rocks.
Not even surprised. Seems like civil lawyers are going to be taking it to the Supreme Court, since Trump's been cited to say that minority religious groups (Christians, iirc) within majority Muslim countries won't have an experience as bad as their counterparts.

Folks..
Yeah?
Morning peoples!
Does anyone notice the growing sentiment on Gaf and elsewhere where folks are expressing: "don't call what I did racist because we're self-censoring and losing the real fights like climate change and automation ." Meanwhile you got that pipeline going through native lands, inner city children developing ashtma because of pollution since white flight, food deserts, and minority retail workers in urban areas losing their jobs or their hours to self checkout terminals.

How does he rotate it...
I'd say it's just more noticeable and prevalent now considering circumstance. Recent elections, rise in threads of this nature, the works.
My current favourite thread is this one about engaging Christians, as if we have to baby them so they understand that their religious views swaying their votes is harmful more than not. Because, y'know, they deserve benefit of the doubt despite voting a party line because it's pro life and against homosexuality. OP out here defending them like other policies aren't slipping through as a result of church and state mixing.
At this point, I've accepted political threads are a mess with two extreme sides that will never see eye to eye. Few minds will be changed, the rest will be reinforced because of how arguments break out. 😒
Good, honestly. I'm chilling. Woke up early to get my work done. Gonna start studying for upcoming midterms real soon. You know how it goes. You?
You right but I'm definitely noticing it a lot more. I just find it insulting to lecture black people about climate change because we've been affected by it long before Al Gore made that movie and no one gave a shit. Minorities are the ones losing their jobs and hours due to automarion for a while now. Natives are having a pipeline built through their land because they couldn't put it through anyone else's land. Like don't lecture us about this now because the problem is starting to affect you.

There are more black senior staffers in the Senate GOP than the Dems. And Shaun King rightfully calls Dems out on this.

The Dems do need to step their shit up with hiring diverse senior staffers, but I have a feeling that the GOP hires them as a strategic weapon rather than truly believing that diversity [of thought and background] is a net positive in most situations.

Hey! It's going to be fucking great!
They'll be new pipeline jobs for everyone! These natives need to pick themselves up by their boot straps, get of their horses and start digging for oil!
And fuck avocados!!
