I just love Wunmi Mosaku So much. It’s insane, I never felt such love passion for any celebrity before !
Look at her, worship her, praise her !
I had a professional illustrator do a drawing for one of my fantasy romance stories and part of the brief was, “She would be played by Wunmi Mosaku.”
(The artist is Umaimah D, aka @coloured-braids )
A lesson...
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out." And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too." And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down. And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all."
#StephemColbert #TheParadoxoftheWhiteModerate For context, this show visit occurred after Trump's birtherism, build the wall, and calling Mexican rapists....And going even further back, the full page ad calling for the lynching of the Exonerated 5... I'll add that this is a pattern I see a lot of otherwise intelligent decent white people do, this tendency to patronize, underestimate, and baby bigots... He treated Trump like a misbehaving child who simply didn't understand that he needed to play empathy better, not the very real existential threat that he was and still is. And you see what happened. He played the "bothsides"/"let's sit and talk this out" game and FAFO only one side, the one he thought/played like a peer who just didn't get how ~racist~ he was being... Sniped his show. Now, he's Boo-Boo The Fool.

Stephen is obviously a decent emotionally intelligent man and he still did this all-too-common stupidity. -Made even worse for not playing the long game and helping Trump with all his Biden's cognitive decline jokes.... *SMGDH* I don't think people realize that Black women, weren't celebrating when Kamala had to step up.
It was a collective exhausted sigh of frustration that you dumbass muthafuccas couldn't maintain and play the game long enough to keep a fucking fascist out of office. There are too many smug white men, who think they are so smart, but aren't socially intelligent enough to realize you can't play pieces that aren't on the fucking board, UNTIL you get the pieces you have arranged properly. I just KNOW Kamala found some empty bathroom to cuss and cry in, and then rallied and did her best from then on out. We're not stupid, we knew how y'all feel about us. But we still tried to fix, dumbass Clooney, Colbert, and all the stupid disgruntled Bernies' fuck-up. THAT'S WHY Black women got on that campaign IMMEDIATELY.
I’m still pissed at the (mostly white) Berniebros who said Don’t blackmail me with the Supreme Court! to me in 2016 when I fucking begged them to vote for Hillary because the Supreme Court would be gone for a generation if they didn’t vote for her.
And here we are, exactly where I warned them we would be, and they’re running around like we weren’t screaming in their faces telling them exactly what would happen. But it was more important in their minds to not have a woman president of any race. 😑
And this goes back to when Obama was first elected and white liberal pundits got pissed that he was his own man and not their puppet. They’re still pissed about that to this day, and that’s where the Obama-to-Trump pipeline came from.
BARBERSHOP (2002)
“We hooted him silent. The little man got all shaky. I told him—” M’Baku pulled awesomeness into his voice, “One more word and I will feed you to my children! Waited till he shat himself, and then I said just kidding, we’re vegetarians.”

You know, you almost forget how bad of fucking creep-ass weirdos people are becoming, and then you get knocked upside the head with another reminder that fuckers are really falling back on "any sexual interest or activity that doesn't exclusively involve a singular fucker to whom one is married is a sign of a depraved mind".
Like, no, the mass murderer did not mass murder because he went to a brothel a few times and was involved in a community that didn't shun casual sex, he mass murdered because he was because he wanted to stamp his name on history and refused to admit that people avoided him because he was very blatantly a future murderer.
