Why do people keep calling DOFP another Wolverine movie? He literally only
told past Xavier about the future and suggested Quicksilver
. Aside from those things everything else that moved the plot along was done by the other people

I loved it from jump but I can see where you are coming from. The game starts off slow and doesn't pick up until the wyrmm hunt quest line. If you don't enjoy it by then the game just not for you.

There's a link to the hour and a half long discussion with bell hooks and Melissa Harris-Perry on the blog post.

Shit is funny. Very good time waster.

@DY Black/Poor communities dont take voting seriously. I wish they would. Only time blacks got up n vote was to get Obama in office. Some expect Dude to fix everything wrong with the Black community.

That's because most folks think voting is Bullshit. Niggas will riot before they vote. I don't agree with voting being bullshit but that's the train of thought I hear a lot of the time.

People don't even know what a riot looks like. The rest of the world tears more shit up after a cricket match than we do after a botched election or civil injustice

I don't understand folks that have a hardon for some french revolution type of shit. It won't happen because the McRip is always a few weeks from coming back.

Some folks will riot to loot, and that is a small percentage.

I've had the "we are going to have a race war" arguments too, and the above is what makes me laugh at the idea. Even if Black people in the US still had the mentality of black people in the 60s when it comes to rights and getting involved, this country is too large and climates are too different from state to state. Not to mention black people are way more involved in this country than they were in the past. A black man with a good career and a family in California isn't going to go to war for a police shooting in Missouri.

That has shades of when peeps were mad that the clippers were still playing after dude got caught saying racist shit. Calling them sellouts and shit. It'll be the same thing there.

As the writer of the BishxEviLore fan fic, this comment even made me go wat;

Just speaking from a personal point of view, not officially representing myself here. But if I had to choose, I'd definitely have intercourse with EvilLore over Bish.
He looks like he would be a tender, yet passionate lover and wouldn't be afraid of opening his horizons to new means of pleasure.

Also, he looks a bit like me and I've always wanted to be fucked by myself.

People hold celebrities to some ungodly expectations. I personally dont see them as a sellout.

Roots is essential watching or reading, that's why you have people acting surprised with all the institutional racism. I have zero respect for those that can watch and memorize 60 years of comic history or 150 hours of anime but can't take the few hours it takes to look at an almost unvarnished account of slavery and its impact.

Hmm? I grew up in the middle-east bruh. Only thing I grew up seeing was bombs over Kabul.

Dunno why you are getting all angry. Not all of us know about everything,

And nice strawman. I didn't say that I didn't know about slavery, just the show Roots.

I get that you want young people to see it, and now that someone like me is finally watching it, you are acting hostile. Thats not the way to do it. You will actually turn people off.

No harm, no foul. Yes, watch Roots. Even if you aren't Black or America it will be not only educational but probably a humbling experience. Its pretty entertaining too, its going to grab you early on and not let go.

We used to watch it in school in history class, led to a lot of tense moments.
