Also, Chiwetel Ejiofor was great as Mordo in Dr. Strange. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

I would just like to say, gently caress the Harambe meme. People think they are so hilarious whenever its brought up but it was never really all that funny.

On a positive note, I love the movie Dope. A movie about a black nerd character getting himself into a predicament and trying to figure his way out of it. The world needs more black nerd characters. We do exist.

Dope is a really good movie.

Trailer if you haven't seen it:

It's been a while, but what do you think of Larry Wilmore getting canceled because he "doesn't resonate with comedy central's audience?" It sounded like coded language to me.

I thought his show was great, personally.

I got to go backstage and get the full VIP treatment due to my best friend Felonious Munk being a regular guest on there.

You can see pictures of it around 26 weeks ago. I don't take many pictures.

Awesome! Thanks for the link.

The Nightly Show was just about the only Comedy Central show I watched (on YouTube and the CC website) and I am bummed that that it isn't on anymore. I really like Wilmore's delivery and I enjoyed him on the Daily Show as well. I hope he, and hopefully other folks from the Nightly show, get a show on another network, or online.

The entire show so far is up on iTunes.

About The case for Reparations article. Cotes mentions that black people effectively could not use the GI Bill after WW2 to buy homes for themselves. It's been awhile since I read the article but what were the mechanics of Red-lining because I don't remember if he covered that.

And maybe this is the best place to ask: Are there any books or anything else that covers the rise of the Southern Strategy, Identity Politics int he US, or the political fallout of the passage of the Civil rights bill?

And has anyone seen Moonlight? A theater in CT is finally going to show it this weekend.


No offense to you, but I REALLY have grown to hate this line of thinking. "No war but class war" Is basically All Lives Matter for Marxist. We had a very recent re-reg int he LGBT thread argue that the LGBT Rights movement and the left in general wasted a bunch of time and resources on the Gay Marriage fight to the point where we are probably not getting Universal Health Care, When that would have benefited the LGBT community more during the AIDS Epidemic. Any kind of socialist reforms are meaningless if we cannot combat inherent bigotry people have that could limit access and care these programs provide.

I shouldn't be but I'm surprised more leftists don't see that leftist socialist programs and reforms are held back by bigotry, racism, fear of the other, etc. You can't get socialist reforms without addressing systemic racism; it's just not possible. If you can't get cops to stop shooting people for no reason; you're very far from any kind of socialist utopia.

I really hate this new narrative of "Maybe you uppity minorities shouldn't have hurt white people's feelings so this is what you get." My (also) black Republican cousin told me this on Facebook and I had to go sit in quiet rage for a few minutes instead of responding.

The results don't even bare this out. Democrats didn't show up to vote, due to a combination of voter suppression as well as the DNC's continual abandonment of labor, and D voters not being "excited" about Hillary. The electorate is way dumber and more petty than anyone, excepting maybe some posters in this thread, believe. It's a combination of things but minorities and women hurting the pepe posters fee-fees are not part of that combination, at least to any great extent.

Be loud, be aggressive, stay awake, don't give up.

I was insanely hopeful at the end of the election that maybe we could reorganize and come back with high energy and unity and with turnout we could reverse the course before it was too late but I decided to read these forums and it feels like the worst mistake of my life.

I'm more down now then i was not even like an hour after the election was called.

Don't let forum trolls make you feel hopeless. Hillary won the popular vote, and she won despite being one of the least popular candidates ever, and Trump pulled less votes than Romney. It ain't over till it's over.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D), an African American Muslim, somewhat predicted Trump in July, 2015. He was laughed at.

Bernie wants to see him as the chair of the DNC.

Why did you attack me personally though? I don't know you and did nothing to aggrieve you as far as I know.

Why is it okay to just jump into a space and start slinging poo poo at black posters? I don't know you or your politics, I want answers cause I'm honestly incredibly down right now.

I'm demanding them from you.

They're angry Trump won and looking for a scapegoat and they want the black posters here to bow their heads and admit ~* identity politics *~ is bad and is the reason Trump won when it's really because white people didn't show up to vote for Hillary AND a lot of white people and people of color just stayed home.

It's a multifaceted problem. Racism is a huge part of it, maybe the biggest part, even if only because racism and ~* identity politics *~ are the massive underpinning of all politics and political discourse in this country. You can ignore it at your peril but history bares it out.

You'd think liberals would be all for it since nothing would have your average conservative 2nd amendment nutjob backpedaling and shrieking for gun control faster than minorities arming themselves. :v:

Liberals only want to get rid of guns when they're in charge; somehow they don't realize that they won't always be in charge. The same people were wanting to get rid of the filibuster and were OK with Obama's expansion of executive powers, prosecution of whistle blowers, the growth of the surveillance state, etc.

Yeah. I thought Finn was going to be a Jedi and was disappointed that he became more of a comedic sidekick as the movie went on.

It was very disappointing. It looks like his role will be improved in the sequel, hopefully by a lot - they even gave him a pretend lightsaber! :/
