Kanye and Snoop are in the sunken place. Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy and to anyone who isn’t white, male, straight, wealthy and Christian. Please don’t ever think that Black sellouts care about you or me just because we happen to share the same skin color.

As always, the words of MLKjr are as relevant as ever:

“Negroes are human, not superhuman. Like all people, they have differing personalities, diverse financial interests and varied aspirations. There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negroes who will go over to the other side. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, traitors, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No one can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage.”

Everyone keeps talking about how they can't wait for The Queen of the Damned and Louis and Lestat's reunion in the series.

I, for one, can't wait to see hotep vampires. I want to see Akasha defenders. I want to see Enkil apologists.

Louis ragging on "youngsters" dressed up like he did to go pick up a snack, interviewer, Daniel Molloy. And then he goes to Lestat's concert wearing the same getup.

I, for one, can't wait to see hotep vampires, wearing ankhs and eyeliner and spouting pseudo-Egyptian history. I want to see Akasha defenders. I want to see Enkil apologists. Anne doesn't go far enough, maybe because she wasn't at the point where she found out fandom is feral. Or that people will justify anything.

"Akasha was just trying to defend the world from cannibals and latent zombies! Have you heard of mad cow disease? Imagine getting prion disease from your grandma! Or your mom! I don't want to eat my mom! Akasha did Enkil dirty! This is why all of those vampires are insane later on! They go Donner Party on each other and then get vampire sponge brains!"

"Akasha was just trying to save humanity from itself! She invented agriculture! She wanted to end violence and hunger! Eating all those people and vampires is deterrence! Have you heard of the atom bomb? *rambling*"

Lowkey spouting nonsense. Convinced that Remember the Time is 100% accurate and it's bullshit some white French aristocrat made Akasha react by playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star* on a Stradivarius, badly. "Akasha broke the violin to make Lestat shut up!"

Enkil, ready to kill Lestat and end his disrespectful musical performance.
