I'm with you, man. I don't generally go out of my way to read anything from The Root, and especially not about Julia Roberts movies, but the headline caught my eye.
I just don't understand why this website exists. For example, what is a "black perspective"? If I wrote things from a "white perspective" that would be racist. Who thinks that way? I just don't get it. It shouldn't be a "black" or "white" perspective. It should be an individual's perspective. I don't understand what difference race makes.
When I do things, I don't preface everything I do with the word white. And if I did I can only imagine what peoples' reaction would be.
Why do you and batman11 care so deeply that you could care less?
Or did you mean that you could NOT care less?
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine: If you care more than you want to or should, then you could care less.
If you don’t give a rat’s patootie about something, then you could NOT care less.
Words mean things, and poor grammar diminishes us all.
BTW, count me in with the “What is so attractive about Julia Roberts?” crowd.
From what I’ve read of the book and the movie, the whole schtick of this movie is just young unfufilled female angst at being young unfulfilled and female.
It’s total mental masturbation, with little plot and no message.
All these web sites exist so people can vent their inner bigot under the guise of humor. You can make fun of jewish princesses, rednecks, black baby names, mexican illegals, etc. and not get into jeopardy.
