“I am tired of pop-cultural artifacts that render Black people as merely Black bodies onto which the sins of this ragged country are violently mapped.” my latest for @vulture, a review of the banal yet atrocious ANTEBELLUM. https://t.co/lSE1ewLAkN

That “twist” the writers are probably so proud of is not a twist at all but a tricking of the audience. Disgusting all round

I love you, Janelle, but you deserve better.

As far as I’m concerned she willingly signed on to make this film; she’s part of the problem.

Yep. Chadwick turned down a slave movie. Makes me respect him more.

Opposite for her doing this.

I know! He turned down a lot of problematic roles. Why? Because he had self-respect. So sad that he’s gone.

Totally feeling this. Took a walk this evening, too many people with no mask/mask over the mouth only, mask under chin, not giving a shit. The virus isn't taking a vacation.

I've shared before but my medication is an immune suppressant and I wish these people would at least make sure to keep away from other people but lol expecting some people to give a shit.

You really don’t need them outside unless you’re in like a group of people. Masks are for direct contact with people, not passing them on the street.

I like several of these people and we all would like a little joy back in our lives but this is such unnecessary stuff that it almost makes things worse.

I'd much rather everyone just did a Zoom chat in their PJs or whatever.
