Brazen Racism. Why are the folks at BuzzFeed and Vox not all over this?

Weren't you idiots appy enough ruining IMDB?


I wasn't at all HAPPY when IMDB lost it's scrotum, and shut down the boards

I wasn't being satirical. I'm genuinely enraged by the producers's making the phone in this movie black and also titling the film in the fashion that they did. I'm more upset by this than the 36 year old lesbian who's never going to get pregnant, yet spent the entirety of this week ruminating on The Supreme Court's revisiting of Roe Vs Wade, telling herself "I can't bear the thought of them overturning it", then had a fucking meltdown yesterday when the very thing most folks anticipated came to pass

She's right when she asserts that this turn of events is indisputable proof that the modern American woman spends her every waking hour oppressed by an evil patriarchy, just as I'm right when I call The Black Phone out for being still further evidence that White Supremacy is baked into the foundations of The US

Hadn't thought about Drudge in eons. Not sure what your basis for BuzzFeed and Vox not being relevant are, though I rarely find their work cogent or intellectually honest. I'm curious though; which outlets do consider to be more trendy than these two?

Clearly, you're triggered by something I said. Let's have a dialectic about all of this, Ac..... What specifically have you found upsetting by anything I've said thus far?

Not even people on your side. And you are not upsetting its target like real satire should

What people do you think are on "my side", and what "side" do you think I'm on? Who do you think I was i was targeting and what, in your view, are examples of "real satire"?

"I think you're just putting meaning onto something that was not there."

You've just defined contemporary society's lazy substitution for critical thinking.

Many cheap phones prior to the 1970's were black


And do we really think it's coincidental that more expensive phones were so often white? The fact that black colored phones had less care and craftsmanship invested in them is borne out of the same racist psychology that results in black people so often being shuttled into the most shabby K-12 institutions in The US

Shit, I'm always buying a black iPhone.

Therefore I must be racist


No, but you're still problematic. The fact that you've never bought an IPhone that's yellow, brown, or/and one that hasn't been designated gender fluid indicates that you still require a great deal of re-eucation, 'Som

Um, a telephone is not a human being, OP.


That scene from Spike Lee's Malcolm X("Look up the word black in the dictionary")remains just as true today. The producers of this movie deliberately chose a black phone, then put it front and center in both the title and the marketing, for the sake of exploiting our culture's association of all things black with malevolence
