Teller Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/main/6857250.html Vanity Fair has looked into its crystal ball and decided that' date=' as far as up-and-coming, cover-worthy female actors for the next decade go, the future is entirely white. Even the clothes they wear are resolutely pale, in shades of honey, rose and blush – the kind of words fashion magazines use to describe caucasian complexions.Bearing in mind it takes an army of people to put a Vanity Fair cover shoot together, this leaves us with two conclusions. Either no one noticed that their "stars of the next decade" cover effectively says there isn't a single up-and-coming black actor on the planet they considered worthy of ruining the aesthetic of their alabaster line-up, or they did notice but simply didn't care. I'm not sure which is worse. "There are many great young black actors they could have chosen. It's incredible that they would be so out of step that it didn't even occur to them," says Menelik Shabazz, founder of UK Black Film Month.[/quote'] Really? I mean, really? I wonder if people like this realize how much damage they actually do to their cause. (Especially after weaving into the column that excluding men was assumed to be "intentional" and apparently just fine; and only getting a quote from a guy who founded "UK Black Film Month." How can you even THINK about ****ing about exclusion when you're the founder of "UK Black Film Month." Jackasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We have a religious shoot out and a nice partisan horse beater going today and now the race card comes out of the gate. There are no religious shoot outs going today, thankfully. There have been a couple of religiously themed topics, but they're all pretty tame.

twa Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's not too late to start evolution and gay marriage threads. :beatdeadhorse: abortion and gun rights are feeling neglected as well.:beatdeadhorse: Might be interesting to merge all those topics into one thread and see where it goes:evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
