most of the chatter about 'The Color Purple' has been about production isssues, Taraji P. Henson doesn't think that's fair

“I hope they can focus back onto this film, because right now, to me, it feels like what I said is now becoming louder than this beautiful film

this week I learned that Alice Walker and Tracy Chapman were in a relationship and that Tracy Chapman wrote a scathing song about her after their breakup

it's unfortunate that Alice Walker has trash beliefs because The Color Purple is such an amazing book. I hope you are still able to enjoy it.

It's so awful when your heroes turn out to be despicable people.

Why is that we have a pigeon reation but not a surprised face reaction?

Wow, I knew about the Walker/Chapman relationship but not Walker's shitty beliefs & behavior. If "Telling Stories" is about Walker then... whew...
