Recently, I learned Carol Channing - still very much on TV and in movies when I was a kid - was Black. Channing, who died in 2019, said in her memoir she passed for white to succeed in show business. In early photos, her Blackness is more evident. beaconbroadside.com/2019/01/24/b... #BlackHistory

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

This is a great piece by my colleague spencer on the bad bunny helftimeshow but of course there’s never been a more divisive idea in American history than all of us being American, we fought a civil war over it and Trump is nothing if not manifest opposition to it www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
‘Together, We Are America’
Bad Bunny’s critics said his Super Bowl halftime show would be divisive. They were totally wrong.

Today is Alice Walker's 82nd birthday. A novelist, most known for her book "The Color Purple," which netted her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the first Black woman to ever win the award, she is also notable for rediscovering Zora Neale Hurston.

Without Walker, she may've been lost forever ❤️🖤💚

Sunny beat me to the very next statement I was going to make.

The whole performance wasn’t about the triumph of the individual, but the collective effort and joy that that elevates all of us out of oppression.

They literally danced their way through and out of the history of colonialism TOGETHER.
Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago

Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

A lot of people don’t realize how deep Latin music can be.

This is one of my favorite songs, it’s such a banger and the lyrics are great.

Called “La Rebelíon” by Joe Arroyo, an Afro-Columbian man.

A reminder that Ring had all its cameras breached about 3/4 years ago. People were tracking what time you got home, when you left the kids by themselves, all that.
Here's that Ring #SuperBowl commercial:

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔
