The history of racism in golf clubs is a long and rich one – just watch The Legend of Bagger Vance to get an idea of how unwelcome people of color were. Many of the sports founding fathers were outwardly racist (and sexist) and the culture surrounding it didn’t transform for quite a while. So it must […]

**This post references extremely graphic materials which may be triggering. Topics: racism, sexism, death, bestiality, misgendering**   To say that the language coming out of the Donald Trump campaign this election season has been obscene, racist, and sexist is an understatement.

As a Black person in Trump’s America, it can be enticing to assume the persistence of white violence is due only to the continued ignorance and miseducation of the people who enact it. The solution is so much easier to embrace if the problem is just that white people don’t know any better. This is […]

In light of the political moment, a little bit of escapism is just what the doctor ordered. You’ll find that and more in the delightful 2013 UK comedy Chewing Gum, released on Netflix this October. Led by the endearing Michaela Coel, the show is a fun opportunity to engage with a young woman inexperienced in […]

To date, Bill Cosby has been accused of drugging and raping more than 50 women over the span of his career. Due to statutes of limitations, many of those accusations will never be used in the court of law. However, he will go to trial for a 2004 assault of a former Temple University student to […]
