Since the misogynoir thread talked about PoC artists a bunch, I'm gonna throw my own hat in the ring here with an (admittedly male) one. Alex Boye does really good music. A lot off it is taking popular music and in his words "Africanizing" it, although he does have a bunch of original work of his own. He also does a lot of work with kid's choirs and churches and just seems like a cool dude in general.

This is probably my favorite song of his if only because of how absolutely giddy he looks during it.

Not even close to a violation.

Shonda Rhimes has a good book, pretty much anything by bell hooks, and there were tons of suggestions in the last thread.

That's a great new name.

Edit: Nah, I been talking too much about myself in these threads. Suffice to say, Beyoncé is hella cool.

The Simpsons live in Springfield, North Tacoma (NT)

And in other cartoon news more relevant to this thread, Skeeter from Doug was black.

Wait did some people really not get that? He was a noticeably different color and he just generally acted like a children's show cliché of a black person.

"Show-bahn". God drat, it's like Sinead O'connor never existed. But Sean Bean's name should absolutely rhyme and gently caress his parents for doing that to us.

It's actually kind of more like Shuh-Vahn because Irish is weird.

And to actually contribute, I've definitely hosed people's names up before, especially last names. They'll usually correct me and I'll try to use the correct pronunciation. I really don't get how that's hard for us white people to do.

Well I'm a dead gal walking (possibly in more ways than one if Pence has his say), so while I'm still here, I'm gonna say this. Thank you so much for this thread and the negrotown thread. They've both taught me so much about the racism that I as a white person can't really notice by myself. You've also all been incredibly accepting and I want to thank you for that.

Now, I'm off to try to put my own poo poo in order. I hope things aren't too much worse for you in a post Trump world.

how in the sweet gently caress did any trans person vote to make MIKE PENCE the vice president? he who wants to electrocute the queer out of them? gently caress this entire earth.

I don't loving know. Every trans person I've talked to is terrified for our safety. How the gently caress do you even loving vote Trump, even if you're incredibly selfish? The trans thread's a somber affair now beyond privileged poster saying it won't be too bad.
