2·6 days agoOn one hand, you are generally correct. Even in states where racism is historically worst, like Alabama or Mississippi, usually most of the overt racism is pretty heavily concentrated in low-income white enclaves. And the World Cup games are not hosted in such places.
On the other hand, a German and a black American will have very different experiences in the aforementioned states.

1·7 days agoWhile this show does feature some cringey of-the-moment dialogue that will likely end up coming across as dated in the future (one of the first lines in the trailer is, after all, “this will be our new forever”), I am starting to suspect that this show might actually end up matching my current personal tastes a bit more than the original series. IIRC, the original series begins after their home was built. However, this trailer shows sequences that start quite a bit earlier in the series than that, though not as early as I remember the books beginning (I remember as a kid reading scenes in the books where the Ingalls were living out of “dugouts” for a bit, which were essentially ditches in the dirt, until their built their first home). Including the Native Americans might be a nice touch as well depending on how that’s handled; I don’t really remember the original show including those either.

Movies@hilariouschaos.com•Idris Elba Says Bond Rumors Were ‘Never Legit’ and ‘Not Realistic’: Audiences ‘Won’t Go for a Black Male Playing Bond’English
11·9 days agoThe problem is that most people just aren’t looking for a woke Jane Bond movie. Colonialism isn’t really the first thing on the minds of the average James Bond fan. There are probably other movies you could get a similar energy from (I know I haven’t seen many movies in this subgenre but I saw Ballerina and found it to be quite good, for example., but there’s always Atomic Blonde, The 355, Lucy, and Red Sparrow, if you’re looking for female action films.), so it’s a bit odd to want the James Bond films to be so different.
You also have to consider that we’re now firmly planted in a post-woke era. Idris Elba clearly doesn’t want the role, but maybe 5 if not 10 years ago, it’d actually be more surprising than not for MGM to not go with a black actor like Damson Idris than today. But Disney has proven that viewers are kind of tired of race swaps, and virtue signaling is starting to turn viewers away from films now, rather than serving as provocative marketing.













Yep. But a lot of people do things they aren’t supposed to do. Iran wasn’t supposed to develop nuclear weapons. Israel wasn’t supposed to commit war crimes. Hamas wasn’t supposed to rape people.
Unfortunately, “you’re not supposed to do that” doesn’t have very much bearing on autonomous or semi-autonomous states and entities.
