Actress Zoe Saldana has been inserting the proverbial foot in her mouth in recent weeks. The "Colombiana" starlet has been media blitzing for the upcoming "Star Trek Into Darkness" film and leaving a trail of disrespect in her wake. A fellow Clutch editor, Yesha Callahan, thinks Saldana needs a dictionary and a clue. I concur and also think she needs to enroll in an Introduction to Critical Race Theory course ASAP.
During an interview with BET, Saldana candidly discussed how she views race, alleging "there's no such as people of color."
Some in the literary world are pushing for the late Chinua Achebe to be awarded a posthumous Nobel Prize for literature, and fellow Nigerian author Wole Soyinka has had enough, The Guardian reports. He says the calls have "gone beyond 'sickening' " and become "obscene and irreverent."
To be clear, it's not that Soyinka -- himself a 1986 Nobel laureate who can nominate future candidates -- doesn't think Achebe is worth honoring. Rather, as he puts it, "You know damned well that the Nobel Committee doesn't engage in such tradition."
In other words, a posthumous conferment isn't going to happen, and an obsession with wishing that it would does a disservice to the late author. Soyinka didn't mince any words explaining why:
Justin Fairfax, a former federal prosecutor who's seeking the Democratic nomination for Virginia attorney general, has earned the endorsement of the Washington Post in his race against Mark R. Herring.
The 34-year-old Fairfax, a Washington, D.C., native and graduate of Duke University and Columbia Law School, is one to watch. Here's why the Post is backing him:
The two Democrats running for their party's nomination for attorney general, in a June 11 primary, are intent on steering away from the politically charged causes that Mr. Cuccinelli has championed. Both men -- Justin Fairfax , a former federal prosecutor, and Mark R. Herring, a state senator representing Loudoun and Fairfax counties -- are capable lawyers who would make top-notch attorneys general.
Black America Web's Michael H. Cottman asks in an insightful piece about an impending Oxygen Network reality show about black pastors: Should they sanctify the foolishness of reality TV?
Would you really want your pastor – and your congregation – to star in a reality television show?
I'm not knocking the six black pastors who have signed on for a new reality show on Oxygen called "Pastors of L.A." — a detailed look at the lives of men of God in Los Angeles.
But I do question why the pastors chose to participate in the show. Are they truly hoping to use the program to minister to those who need spiritual guidance? Or are they simply using the high-profile media platform to rake in more cash and bask in the spotlight of a national television audience?
In South Africa, apartheid has been over for two decades. So it's really no surprise that being white in the country feels different now from the way it did under the forced system of harsh, institutionalized racial segregation that curtailed the rights of black residents in favor or the ruling Afrikaaner population.
As the BBC's John Simpson acknowledges in a piece today, the legacy of apartheid means that white South Africans still have a disproportionate influence on the economy, politics and media and have far more wealth than their black counterparts. But Simpson, seemingly somewhat nostalgic for "the old days" when "the apartheid system looked after whites and did very little for anyone else," wonders whether they -- especially the working-class among them -- have a future in the country.
