Everything must be a sheltered workshop for black people.
One would hope that hispanics would stand up against this nonsense, but maybe not.

I always enjoy the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.
The revolution eats its own, as it invariably does. Ask Robespierre.

I remember an old film PENITENTIARY I & II. Siskel and Ebert, PBS critics, noticed that the darker skinned the character was the more “evil” he was.

Another racist being promoted.
Steven Spielberg has a remake of ‘West Side Story’ coming out.
I bet it bombs too.
To: Kaslin
Imagine living in a post-MLK America where you have to apologize for not being racist enough?!?

It's HIS creation! Yet he is APOLOGIZING for not catering to the demands of those who create nothing.
This is like the pages of 'The Fountainhead' coming to life in 2021.

Hilarious. Those not jet black should be just as ashamed as white folk.

So-bipoc 1 would be very light and bipoc-5 would be very very dark. So, Obama was an 0.75; VP Harris is a 0.5.

Think of it as the 21st Century version of the “brown paper bag test”.Whatever happened to to the racist old "One Drop" rule?

I remember the 1956 version with Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr, but not this one. Yul Brynner was a great actor

figured it was, that's why I wasn't interested in seeing it.
Oklahoma was one of my favorites

I don’t know why people dislike Miranda.
I never saw “Hamilton” because I do not like distortions of history.
But I watched “The Heights” last evening and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was a real “feel-good” story, like the Rocky movies.
It paid homage to the kind, loyal, generous, hardworking people who came here to this Land of Immigrants, put in the sweat equity, and produced fine results down to the fifth and sixth generation.
Just like my Irish and German ancestors who settled in NYC in a previous century.
I loved the Abuela with her patience and faith. The family, sticking together and helping each other through thick and thin. The values of faith, hope,love,education, stick-to-it-tiveness, and The Dream. All basic American values.
I am not at all surprised that the anti- American, Marxist forces of BLM should find all this offensive.

Gosh, no one thought to complain that there were no white people in “The Wiz.”
