Look lady, as a Black woman I have very intimate knowledge of racism. I am not just throwing the word around, I am calling is it as I see it. This blog doesn't exist to fanpoodle and be a cheering section. It exists to examine isms within urban fantasy. There can be no perfect portrayal simply based in the fact that all isms are institutionalized and heavily embedded in our discourse. Pointing out an exist exists isn't a statement of hate for the show, but recognizing a problematic aspect to avoid internalizing a negative trope.

Few things, Lost Girll got it's renewal for season three very early in the second season and are in fact shooting season three right now. There is no excuse for not giving Hale a storyline period. They have given Trick one and so they can do one for Hale.

So you assert that Nadia is pivotal to the plot. Well she was in a coma for a season and a half. Now that she is awake and moving, she is only important because she can play into a love triangle. Elevating a character of color because they are sleeping with a White person is problematic. If they wanted to make a statement, they would make a character of colour important in their own right.

You are always more than welcome to disagree with our take on a book, but your assertion that we did not read them is extremely offensive. You are actively challenging our integrity, and I will not tolerate that on this space.

I am sick to death of the woman as temptress role that they have given Hannah. Her entire existence is about whether or not Zak will fall. We know virtually nothing about her. Then there is the bit with Mrs. Sherringham and the need to live her own life. I think that this is absolutely necessary and yet it is reduced as a plot of evil, thus asserting that women have no business seeking out independence and happiness in their lives. She should have gotten on that train, just not with her former brother in law. This show has a real problem in the way in which women are portrayed and I find myself getting more and more frustrated each week.

Are they ever going to stop patronizing Tom? Mrs. Sherringham actually snarked at him and suggested that it was ridiculous of him to believe that he could make a real change after only being on earth of two months. He then goes on to get upset when Marcus admits to being an atheist. Ummm, didn't he just finish having his doubts about the whole all knowing God thing? Can we have a little bit of consistency and growth?

As for the supposedly epic fight scene, I agree, it really could have done with some special effects. I really like the setting. That church is absolutely gorgeous but it felt like it all went to waste with that crappy fight which looked like two six year olds having a pushing match in a school yard. Also, the organ playing was over done really.

I am interested in this show but I always feels like it stops short of just meeting the mark. It brings up important issues week after week and then does not have the courage follow it through. I don't understand why the writers just don't grab some courage and go there. It would most certainly elevate the show.

I just heard about it this morning and I have to admit that I cried a bit. This is so incredibly sad. In recent years people had mocked her publicly and speculated that she had lost her beautiful voice. In many ways when I heard about her death I thought about Judy Garland and how it was not until after she died that many realized what they had lost.

I tried to point out the cisexism and people used it as an excuse to be as cissexist as they could possibly be. I was shocked because I have never come across anything like that on Clutch. I still liked the post but I felt that it needed a trigger warning.

In a totally unrelated comment, I totally get all fan girl every time you comment.

As for the celebration of Whiteness on this show, I sometimes wonder how the actress who plays Bonnie can stand it. She must be aware that this is going on. I realize that there are not a lot of roles for Black women on television but I would be tempted to tell these racist writers a bit about this selves.

If the appropriation stops then people like Steele won't be able to hide behind being Black to spread his homophobia. That's another hidden bonus to stopping.

To me it just read like another attempt on the part of Dr. West to promote the idea that he is relevant. Ever since he got into bed with that snake Travis Smiley, I have developed a distinct lack of trust in anything he has to say

When I saw that slave commercial, I was like what the hell. And then they claim that we're post racial now. Is there any kind of race based attacks that Republicans find too low? It super pissed me off that they had a kid of colour front row and center. in the commercial as well. What a bigot and you can bet the bigots are loving the commercial because it fits into their belief that White people are oppressed.
