I don’t know what’s going on at HBO but, they either need to order more episodes or extend the running time to one hour. We are at the finale and the show definitely didn’t get to thoroughly explore and then close, the themes for this season. There are still so many loose ends that need tying up.

I agree, but it’s true. I was listening to this interview with polow da don and he was talking about the beginnings of his career. He was saying that, he had been producing for fun, but wasn’t as versed or polished. Then he met Jimmy Iovine, and jimmy was like come to LA. So when don got there. Iovine put him up in…

North is with mommy going over the importance of lip fillers and butt injections. j/k...kind of.

Now that I’m thinking about it.

Wow April and J apologized? I did not see that coming. I didn’t particularly have a dog in this race. I understand the problem and agreed with DJ Chubb, but also understand that curating is one of those jobs for rich people. And the few black curators there are tend to be the, “WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO CARE ABOUT BLACK…

Yeah, I didn’t understand that argument (rebuttal) of “Do you really want a rapper curating?” uh??? YES!

Yeah, this show’s handling of race, and they’re black characters has always had the attitude of that white guy in your race and gender 101 class who says, Racism isn’t real because race is just a social construct, makes a presentation on why he should be allowed to say ni**er, and then says ni**er all through his…

So you’ve never met a single Indian or A dark skinned Arabic person? Actually that makes sense for you.

I mean, there is already someone in the grey’s saying that uplifting black women means replicating oppressive colonist systems so....

I thought a lot about the reaction as well, for all the reasons that you stated in this piece. And to your point about about adding to the existing negative narrative about black men, that was puzzling as well, because you were making points primarily from an intraracial perspective. But then then, also it stands to…

We don’t know what inspired this display of forgiveness, but we’re entirely here for it.

I WILL SEE Y’ALL THERE!!!

The year before last I went to Camp Flog Naw (Tyler The Creator’s Music Festival) Kelis easily had the best set of everyone there. Just a true performer and musician, just so wonderful and fun.

Yes. It’s a complicated issue that has to be talked about with care not only with casting but it manifests in all industries. I have absolutely seen how white people perk up when they realize that I’m Jamaican by blood vs being African American.

“They don’t cost as much. Unless you’re an unknown brother that they’re finding somewhere. They think they’re better trained, for some reason, than we are because they’re classically trained. I don’t know what the love affair is with all that,

needs more stars

Eh, I don’t think this is a thing. I don’t think your main citation can be an auteur, yes tyler perry is one whether you like it or not, who clearly has color and woman issues. 

I found wifi in Cairo Egypt just so I could get your and Hoke’s take. Was Not disappointed.

I mean, I liked belle, and it’s a great movie when I don’t think about it, but the ending and the general tone are white savior-y which is bothersome when you know about black lives in that period that weren’t determined by or dependent on white people. And after “Blackkklansman” I’m turning more of a critical eye on…
