But because of this, black films are often shorted advertising budgets, premier in disadvantageous times or ways, have short theater runs, cut out of award considerations and conversations (Angela Basset didn't get an Oscar until 2024 and it was honorary)

They do not think white audiences will extend the empathy to relate to nonwhite stories. Despite this being a courtesy not only expected, but often demanded of nonwhite audiences of white stories from prestige television to teen comedies to historical biopics.
And it is often given. Ask youself why

There is a hunger and audience for these experiences.
But as the cynical truism goes "as soon as you have 3 or more black actors in a movie, it becomes a black movie". And a lot of studios operate under the assumption that white audiences will not see a black movie.

Every few years, Black cinema has to once more prove that it is not only popular and profitable, but culturally relevant. And every few year, studios get to act shocked and surprised when it becomes one of the biggest movies of the year. Sinners, Black Panther, any given 90's black romcom

This movie has two strikes against it in the eyes of who decides what gets to be art. It's Black and it's genre. I use to talk about this a lot, but this all very much all wrapped into this idea of whiteness as a cultural default.
The way Penske Media publications are locking Sinners out of their Best of 2025 lists is white supremacist bullshit

9. New Hampshire has become a case study rebutting the idea that surrendering on transgender rights slows Republican attacks or protects Democrats politically; neither claim has been borne out.
Now, trans people must fight again in the state for their basic rights in 2026.

1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom.
The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.
It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.

While these states have laws against discrimination, those laws are useless if they are not enforced, and it appears state AGs have completely abandoned transgender people even in blue states while institutions capitulate to Trump.

Private entities overcomplying with Trump executive orders and targeting transgender people must not be given free passes to do so by blue states.

I've reported on trans legislation and anti-trans actions in states across the United States for five years, including in blue states.
I distinctly remember some people getting upset at me for reporting blue-state anti-trans actions, saying that it could never happen there.
Sadly, it can.
