i’m still pissed that bane in the dark knight isn’t being played by a Latin@. bane has been voiced by a Latin@ in pretty much everything he has ever appeared in besides this movie (and the other shitty movie with clooney). they coulda got pretty much any Dominican or Boricua pro-wrestler to be bane and it would of worked. how does anything about bane even make sense if he’s...

Gordon Parks’s photographs of blacks in the South at the height of the Jim Crow era showed African-Americans living “in a complete universe.” Many, however, were unpublished or unseen until now.

“Another reason that girls go undetected for so long has to do with how differently each gender approaches school. Dr. Quinn offers this example: ‘A male and female student with ADHD are assigned a long-term project. They each put off the work for weeks. Then, the night before the project is due, each remembers the deadline. Rather than attempt to get the work done, the boy decides to...

I’m still waiting for someone to explain how Holmes was able to purchase a full set of body armor & multiple weapons & tear gas grenades in just a few months with no red flags being raised.

how often will the media spread this story about mental illness??? if ‘mental illness” really IS the reason WHITE MEN keep packing themselves and shooting anybody they can find—if that REALLY is the reason? why aren’t these media bastards asking obvious questions?
