"People are saying" is an old Fox News ploy to make it sound like it isn't their own beliefs.

Most of the cast of Days does "The Bay" at the same time, though there aren't that many episodes.

I just don't like the idea of whitecasting a replacement for an actress of color with a white actress. Though I am basing Garbrielle Haugh's race on her appearance, I admit it. It reminds me of the recast of Asian Blair on OLTL with Kassie DePaiva. Even though I love Kassie DePaiva.

Woman suing her mother over an injured dog. "She told me that he had fellen off the porch." And then she repeated it.

Ugh, I'm being criticized on another forum for objecting to whitecasting the new Jade. When I asked how they were going to explain this white girl having a black father, I was notified that her father isn't black. O Rly?

My point is bigots are influenced to be bigots. Nobody is born thinking I am going to hate someone simply because they are different than me. It doesn't have to be a parent that influences you. As former nun posted above it can be a spouse. Or in your son's case his peers.
"You've Got to be Carefully Taught", a song from "South Pacific", explains it.

Not a bad movie, some interesting information I didn't know before. The last ten minutes is with the real people being portrayed in the movie. Mark Wahlberg's character is fictional, which is good, because he's an asshole.
I don't know how accurate the movie portrayal is, but it shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as being much more involved in the bombings and leadup than the news stories at the time had made him out to be. Alex Wolff was pretty good in the role, playing him as an American lowlife stoner. Just like his buddies back in college who knew he was involved but didn't tell anybody.
Melissa Benoist, Supergirl, plays Tamerlan's wife. She was very convincing in the role.

However, I did feel for her when she got that bigoted comment to her picture with Theo. It's amazing that there are still people like that, even in the twenty-first century.

Iconic San Francisco sports/baseball bar Lefty O'Doul's is closing down. And it isn't pretty.

Last gripe (yeah, sure) and this one is probably just me: No one these days ever phones, writes or contacts anyone. For business or personal reasons, they all reach out. "I reached out to my contractor." It just gives me silly visuals of people with their arms out, waving like a sea anemone or an amorous octopus.
This is the thing that bugs me when reporters say, "So-and-so speaks out." Uh, no, they talked. Speaks out means they were making a bold announcement or complaining about something. You're asking them questions, they aren't speaking out.

Jeez, Claire, way to stake your territory.
I'm sorry, I can't root for Justin over Lucas after he cheated on Adrienne.
Adrienne's all puking from chemo and she's going to have hot sauce?
Jebus, Deimos, shut your trap.
"Is that all you care about? Likes and comments from strangers?" Uh, Theo doesn't know what it's like to be a teenager, hm? LOL
Do Sonny and Chloe know each other?
Eh? Where did Kayla come from?

In Judge Judy's world, if she has never experienced it or heard of it, it has never happened. A rerun today involved a guy who was suing a woman over a laptop that she had sold him that had been given to her as part of her class. The woman tried to explain to JJ that the laptop was paid for as part of the tuition that SHE was paying from a student loan, but in JJ world, it had been "given" to her by the school, and therefore she had no right to sell it

This is my feeling towards the Raiders. I don't care that they came back. And it's even worse because all of the rest of my family is still fans, and will probably still be fans of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Kelce needs to shut his mouth.

Marci Miller on today's Dishin Days
It's interesting that nobody gives her any Abigail backstory, and she has to learn it all herself. That's kind of stupid.

If the great anti hacking device was developed by the Dimeras, and it was stolen from them, why wouldn't they go to the FBI or someone?

Deimos doesn't give a shit what anybody else thinks.

He doesn't know, he just suspects, and he doesn't want Nicole to get false hope up in case it turns out not to really be hers, she has had too many baby disasters in her past.

I also feel lousy for the gal playing Jade. She's great.
Was. I really hope they give us an explanation as to why Jade, with a black father, is suddenly a generic white blonde.
BTW, if you look up the new Jade, Gabrielle Haugh, you'll find lots of pics of her in her underwear.

Paris Jackson pulled a BIG justified hissyfit about it and they realized they weren't going to be able to get away with it. I still can't believe they thought they'd get away with it.
Anyway, there's a really funny line in La La Land that makes fun of "white teachers save minority student" films. "No, Jamal, I don't got to be tripping." Holy shit, I lost it at that line.
One of MadTv's best sketches shredded that trope.
This was a UK TV show. UK was home of the Black and White Minstrels, which aired until 1978.

You have any idea how far it is from San Diego to San Francisco/Oakland and vice versa?
QuoteI'm thinking it was more likely that the land was just too expensive for developers to invest in, until the NFL came knocking with bottomless pockets and a plan to make themselves even richer. With that, the city of LA finally caved and accepted the (let's be honest) minimal costs of infrastructure contributions.
It's in Inglewood.
