Deleted wtf scenes from an early script of The Help
After The Onion and Lisa Lampanelli’s tweets, which simply provided more examples of “When good Liberal go Bad,” now’s the time to switch gears (thus lowering my blood pressure) and get back to the point of this blog.

Especially not the kind of control of say, those in Hollywood and television as they put forth images of mass consumption.

January 13, 2013
“I don’t like to do the nails of blacks. I left a salon in Rio because, there, I only did the nails of blacks.” It may surprise some readers to hear that the woman who reportedly said this (and much more) is black. This is an example of intra-racism. Fortunately, this woman didn’t get away […]
