cryoftheancients:
I’m sure none of you have missed the uproar among “fans” of The Hunger Games regarding the casting of Cinna, Thresh, and particularly Rue.

this whole idea that there is a ‘tumblr sj crew’ reeks of antiblackness. it’s another instance of what Jared Sexton calls ‘oppressive Black power,’ the idea that Blacks are no longer just the victims of oppression, but the agents of oppression of all other groups.
that’s why it’s no surprise that the people charged with being evil, shady, manipulative,...
