Not the little boy from Everybody Hates Chris. Not Solange Knowles. Not Orlando Bloom. Not the black Jeff Goldblum. Not Madea. Not Mos Def.

Tomorrow y’all. ;) And don’t forget to come play with Trollando on Twitter live during the East coast feed.  XOXO 

To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.

Rest in power Philando Castile. Not even your murder on video could help your family get justice. You deserved better. We must continue the fight for you.

We must. We will. WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS FUTURE.

Blade led the way for the success of all the following Marvel movies.  No Spiderman or X-Men or Disney buying Marvel without Blade.  No Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, or Avengers without Blade.

^^^^ Marvel was in the toilet before Blade. Blade was a sleeper hit that summer and was the first official hit of not just Marvel films, but the comicbook superhero genre in general. Before this super-slick R-rated feature, it was B-movies with day-glo tights. NO ONE took the the genre seriously. Blade, a black superhero changed all of that.
