Enigma commented on Precious: Brutal New Classic or African-American Bruno?.

Black social critics need to stop universalizing every high profile black project if they expect the larger society to stop thinking about "black America" as separate from America.
As with all social movements, as the people who remember the social upheaval of the 60's and 70's die off, and their children who have been raised in a more equal society, these analysis become less and less relevant.
This movie needs to be judged on its artistic merits. Does it tell a moving story about a person at a moment in her life? If it does it well, it deserves praise, if it does it poorly, it deserves to be panned. No matter the color of the people portrayed.
White critics are only comfortable bringing up the color issue because people like Armond White did it first.

Enigma commented on I Hate You, Garrison Keillor.

That essay actually sounds like something I'd expect from Mr. Mudede. Talk up the wonderfulness of the female form then try to inexplicable link it to a social point.
Funny thing is, I usually like it when Charles does it, Garrison just sounds like a typical arrogant white guy with nothing original to bring to the conversation.

Enigma commented on "Rita has made a decision that she wants to explore her own relationship with epilepsy.".

She has epilepsy and is trying to present it as an artform instead of as a debilitating condition. I don't think these Advocacy groups get to tell people with the condition how to live their lives. This is a dancer who wants to keep on dancing despite the condition. They should be praising her strength and all that.
Someone needs to get the stick out of their asses.

Enigma commented on ~~Viva~~ Vulva Viagra!.

Another 'Right On' @1. Those doctors are developing drugs to combat the 'normal' degeneration of just being alive. They thwart 'normal' everyday, and they're gonna get squicky when they discover something that increases female sexuality.
Morons.

Enigma commented on Only 46 Days Left in the Decade.

@4 Technically it should, but it won't be.
Just as the 80's were from 1980-1989, and the 90's were from 1990-1999, the last decade will be 2000-2009. It's how our brains work.

Enigma commented on McGinn: The Mac Mayor.

Ug. Really? Macs are so overrated. I don't know how anyone can still talk seriously about those being the superior product.

Enigma commented on "30 Nude Photos, 8 Sex Tapes of Carrie Prejean Surface".

Ah hahahahahahahahaha!

I generally try not to take pleasure in others embarrassment or pain, but this gal was just asking for divine retribution. Karma took no time at all for giving this one her comeuppance.

Enigma commented on No Mas Animates MLB's Most Infamous Tale.

That was hilarious! I've been tripping a few times and have to say I would probably have run screaming off the field in a paranoid streak. That was definitely a feat.

Enigma commented on Verizon Sucks Too.

I never understood the problems people have with ATT. I've been with them since 2002 and have always had really good customer service. A few years back I had to go with a GoPhone instead of staying on my family plan and had to get a new number, but that was the only difficulty I've come across. I actually really like the GoPhone over having a plan because I can buy any phone I want and just put in a new SIM chip with no "phone switching fee".
They just instituted a new unlimited plan too- $60 talk/text. And I've never had spotty coverage or been dropped in Seattle.
