Actress and activist @JurneeSmollett opens up about Hollywood harassment, the trauma of brother Jussie's public scandal and how she's "no longer asking for a seat at the table. We're building our own motherf***ing table"
— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) August 5, 2020
Lovecraft Country is an upcoming HBO horror series (starring Jurnee Smollett, sister of Jussie Smollett) that reveals the true secret behind H.P. Lovecraft’s concept of unimaginable “cosmic evil.” You’ll never guess, but it turns out the most horrible evil in the universe is … White Supremacy!
From the Hollywood Reporter:
In the fraught, sweaty days following the police killing of George Floyd, Jurnee Smollett has been working through a battery of emotions: There was profound grief, then fear, anxiety and, now, rage.
“Oh, the rage,” she howls, “the rage I feel in my body.”
Smollett’s gotten awfully good at channeling that rage, she says, convening with Black Lives Matter allies in church basements and Los Angeles streets whenever she can steal time away from her 3-year-old son, Hunter, for whom she doesn’t currently have regular childcare. Still, she can feel it now, coursing through her veins, as memories the actress has tried so hard to bury come flooding back. The soda cans hurled at her. The cop cars she was thrust into. The dead fish placed on her family’s lawn.
If it were not for the pandemic ravaging her city, Smollett would be taking Hunter with her, just as her mother once did her. During the Rodney King riots of ’92, Janet Smollett had her children out in the street, holding up signs. Jurnee was just 5 at the time.
… When Smollett’s latest project, HBO’s Lovecraft Country, a highly anticipated horror, sci-fi, period mashup that revisits the atrocities of Jim Crow America, makes its debut Aug. 16, it will inevitably be trumpeted for its timeliness. The notion infuriates its star. “We’re telling the story of heroes that go on a quest to disrupt white supremacy, and it’s maddening that in the year 2020 it’s still relevant,” she says, adding that the series, from Jordan Peele, J.J. Abrams and Underground’s Misha Green, would be so had it come out on any day of any year since 1619 — which is not to suggest Smollett isn’t immensely proud of the project, or ecstatic about the splash it’s expected to make.
… her star has been eclipsed by that of her brother, Jussie, the embattled Empire alum who was accused of staging his own hate crime in early 2019 and then lying about it to the cops. The case is still winding its way through the legal system, but Smollett, agreeing to address the incident for the first time publicly, maintains her brother’s innocence.
… Before their mid-1990s divorce, Smollett’s father, a Russian-Polish Jew who passed away a few years ago, often worked two jobs, while her mom, a Black homemaker from New Orleans, was looking after the six kids.
… With the legal case ongoing — prosecutors dropped all charges against the actor in March 2019, only to have a grand jury revive the criminal case 11 months later — Smollett is limited in what she can say. What she does offer is how “maddening” it is for someone so outspoken to be told she “can’t talk,” and how horrific the whole ordeal has been for her fiercely close family. Still, Smollett insists her defense of her brother has not impacted her professionally, arguing instead that she has felt supported. “We are blessed to have a community of people who know him,” she says, “and know that he wouldn’t do this.”
iSteve commenter Wren points out that in some comic book movie recently:
Jurnee’s superpower in the movie is the ability to scream in rage.
She can knock people off their feet with her ability to scream in rage at all the soda and fish and having to play a white character.
Still, she can feel it now, coursing through her veins, as memories the actress has tried so hard to bury come flooding back. The soda cans hurled at her. The cop cars she was thrust into. The dead fish placed on her family’s lawn.
Rest assured, none of this ever happened.
Um, your father’s a Polish Jew. You’ve motherf***ing controlled Hollywood for close to a century, Jewlatto.
Lady, nobody believes your brother.
They feel sorry for you so they tune you out when you defend him. I would suggest you stop doing that. Patience and tolerance only last so long. He did his crimes over a year ago. I would say you are already on borrowed time.
Something tells me that you are not so spectacularly talented that people will keep hiring you if you don’t stop insisting he was innocent. One HBO series isn’t going to save your career. And if you can’t help support your jobless brother, who will?
Eh. A lot of the major outlets, including the blogs, are trying to retcon this. Their commenters, including the most painfully orthodox leftists, are all “wtf”? But it just keeps going on. That shows that TPTB want the narrative to continue. So they’ll keep hiring the family, and may try to rehabilitate Jussie, in the face of rabid opposition.
You didn’t build that table.
“ that reveals the true secret behind H.P. Lovecraft’s concept of unimaginable “cosmic evil.” You’ll never guess, but it turns out the most horrible evil in the universe is … White Supremacy!”
I thought the most horrible evil would be Jurnee playing the part of Cthulhu. Heh, shows what I know. 😏
No Polish jokes in that list?
How many Poles does it take to remove a dead fish from the yard? Etc.
I guess “Jurnee Smollett, brother of Jessie Smollett,” is a typo. Or iwas she born a man?
I love how they specifically call her an activist and then mere words later vaguely refer to her borther’s ‘scandal’ as if it were an affair and not connected with her’s or her parents ‘activism’.
Papa Smollet is Jewish and according to Jussie would: “kill you if you called him white”. That’s an interesting arena for a discussion on race and identity. No? Okay.
Really? Cool. What’s being done? Oh, okay, you just said it because it looks cool in a quote. The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards 30 somethings talking like they’re a 15 year old Tumblr poster.
brother of Jussie Smullet
Isn’t Jurnee Jussie’s sister? Or, y’know, sistah? Or did the Smullett parents mess that up too?
People (not remembering clearly but I believe Daniel Ellsberg) have talked about being profoundly affected by the assassination of RFK, as in being unable to leave the room and weeping openly. I have trouble believing that any black person grieved over the drug addict who attacked a pregnant woman, and resisted arrest, oh, and tried to pass fake bills. I don’t think that any words mean anything in a black mouth. Everyone has observed the at times charming, at times comical way blacks will pick up phrases en bloc and cram them into inappropriate applications. Occassionally it works and they preserve an older way of saying something. Usually it’s recognizably the behavior of a child learning the language clumsily.
Caption, from picture of Smollett kids and their mom, at linked Hollywood Reporter article:
“From left: Jake, Jojo, Jurnee, mom Janet, Jazz, Jocqui and Jussie celebrating Janet’s 65th birthday in 2017. The family put out a cookbook in 2018 and, before that, hosted a Food Network show, Smollett Eats.“
The next one would have been Jacuzzi.
But it would have been even more fun if Janet had named them all George.
triple group entitlee:
Jew, Black, female….and if a sexperv like Jussie, that makes

Uh, isn’t the “regular childcare” for a 3-year old supposed to be … you!
The rest of us can suffer along for a while without your acting, while you take care of your kid.
OT, but movies are your thing, Steve:

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Lovecraft Country will be like HBO’s Watchmen, where it will be critically acclaimed, but not find an audience and will be canceled.
And if any of it did, it was likely either (1) done by other blacks or hispanics; or (2) this account is wildly exaggerated.
Much like the stories about people asking to touch black women’s hair. I’m semi-convinced that the stories are really about black women with “good hair” insulting black women who have kinkier hair by patronizingly asking to touch it.
There’s an app for that. And an opioid. Maybe even an appioid.
Such as authors naming their cats Ni🎷🎷er Man?
It’s enough to make any poor soul 🍉choly.
Thanks. We’ve been asking you to do so for a century and a half. In Jim Crow’s America.
Nothing would please me more than seeing these folks build their own motherf***ing table.
Of course in reality they’re not asking for a seat at the table OR building their own, they’re demanding we give them our table and threatening to smash it to splinters if we don’t.
That picture of Jurnee looks like a woman who really, really is about to demand to Speak To The Manager and she Won’t Take No For An Answer!
Hmm. KarUn? LaKarEeshNuh? I’ll hafta think about it for a while.
PS: If she needs child care for her 3 year old, where’s Daddy? Hmm? Where he at? Is it Ok to ask that question?
Thanks. Fixed.
I just LOVE the name Jurnee!
How many Poles does it take to stage a fake noose attack?
Trick question. Answer is 2. Nigerians (not Poles).
I was at a corporate Gabfest last fall where Eddie Johnson was a guest speaker (don’t ask me, I didn’t plan this event!). He said the big tell giving Jussie away was that any normal black guy would never nonchalantly allow a noose to remain on their neck, “dey be ripping it off their neck!!!” Smollett casually and coolly unwound the noose, and wrapped it up neatly whilst talking to CPD investigators. I wish Eddie Johnson stuck around for the Lori Lightfoot administration. Incompetent as he was, real funny dude.
Memories of soda pop she splashed on herself and dead fish she put on her own lawn, not to mention the cop cars she got shoved into in cloud cuckoo land, where nobody fills out arrest reports or fingerprints her at the precinct station. What we have here is an actress with hereditary histrionic personality disorder. Surprise, surprise, as a good-natured gay TV marine used to say.
Meanwhile, Zombie Robin Williams is back from the dead, and wowing the crowds with his hilarious take on Joe Biden:
” With the legal case ongoing … [Jurnee] Smollett is limited in what she can say.”
Was Jurnee involved in any way in Jussie’s crimes? If not, why — and by whom — is she “limited in what she can say”?
Her kid’s name is hunter, is there a whiter name than hunter?
Look what the … ‘British’ have done to a poor dog’s grave: couldn’t even allow an animal the dignity of his designated name.

A Polish Jew in the Smollet woodpile! Who’da thunk it!
This Mulatess misusing poor H. P. Lovecraft’s works in this fashion is about as pure an example of toxic cultural expropriation as I can imagine. I hope some SJW calls HBO on this travesty.
I saw Jurnee in “Birds Of Prey,” when she played a white woman. Luckily, she was filled with rage, which was apparently perfect for the role.
That movie was directed by a Chinese woman and written by a hapa Taiwanese British woman.
But when can the US collect reparations from the smolletts for all the injustice they have harmed the country with?
I’m wondering if the intellectual giants responsible for this TV series which appears to be “influenced” by Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos realize that H.P. had a very low opinion of many non-White peoples. In today’s parlance he would be called a “racist.”
By today’s “standards” wouldn’t this be considered cultural appropriation? They’re stealing wholesale from a dead White guy’s work. Oh, the horror of it all. Or as H. P. put it, “the world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”
Black cartoonist’s work on race relations and coronavirus prompted newspapers to drop it: ‘I am being silenced over white feelings’
Bianca Xunise = A unisex cabin. Ax bi nuisance.
Raechal [sic] Shewfelt = A flesh cartwheel.
Shouldn’t that be “the rage I feel in my BLACK body?” I mean, we want to be as Woke as possible, right?
Get Woke, Steve. The Klan is far more terrifying than Great Cthulhu….
Throwing frozen soda cans is an Antifa tactic so perhaps that is likely where she got the idea. If any of this happened it would be national news.
Everyone thinks that Lovecraft Country is just another crass attempt to rewrite everything so it’s about race. But actually it’s a brave esoteric defense of humanity from the Elder Gods. The widespread popularity of the Cthulhu Mythos has increased the number of places where the inhuman forces outside the circles of time can try to enter our world. But if the first thing that everyone thinks of, when they hear the name Lovecraft, is “racist”, they will be less likely to be attracted by his work.
They are only making this show to try and spit on Lovecraft, though he might enjoy the theatre of it all (probably not).
In fairness, White Supremacy is what constitutes a cosmic horor in our current society. A sort of unknowable, Ancient Evil arising from the Old Ones that is always waiting in the depth of the oceans inflicting misfortune and unspeakable horror upon mortals by his mere dreaming.
The series is based on a book by Matt Ruff. Part of it is available online. It’s extremely Woke:
“I don’t think that any words mean anything in a black mouth.”
Yes, start here.
And the typical spelling issues…
The rocks and the streams and the trees amongst all the other manifestations of nature are worthy of our devotions . The “one god” is a tyrant that only seeks to enslave the spirit of mankind . I don’t know for sure what to make of the Jews killing Jesus . But what are you going to do if you’re hungry ?
OT, but WTF. Teachers are resigning because they have to teach from school while the students learn virtually at home. Channel surfing and Chris Cuomo had a teary eyed teacher saying she couldn’t go to school where she might get sick. Probably goes food shopping though. Schools opening or staying virtual could be a big factor in the elections. All politics are local.
Hate to break it to them, but “Lovecraft Country” consists of Rhode Island, Antarctica, the planet Venus, and the Dream Dimension. Somebody’s gotta tell ’em. Nah, we’ll just sit back and let them make fools of themselves.
“Nyarlathotep? He said ‘hotep’!” That racist cracka be all appropriating the names of our Egyptian Kangz, an sheeit. It fills my black body with the burning rage of a thousand gentle giants.”
Media on the right is so weak they can’t budge the needle with leak of outrageous George Floyd bodycam video?
It appears so for now.
But wait Trump finally called out BLM as “marxist” today….. that is real progress.
Did Trump see the bodycam video and decide now was the time to begin undermining BLM legitimacy?
GEORGE FLOYD NEEDS TO BE MOCKED RELENTLESSLY
Debunk this destructive hoax.
Yog Sothoth for president.
If Ramblin’ Amblin’ Mumblin’ Stumblin’ Joe is elected, it’s even money he will be in the booby hatch (St. Elizabeth’s of Georgetown?) by spring.
Nauseating family, these Smolletts.
You getting real creative lately Reg.
“Oh, the rage I feel in my body.” It’s always the body and the hair. What no soul?
Jurnee’s superpower in the movie is the ability to scream in rage.
She can knock people off their feet with her ability to scream in rage at all the soda and fish and having to play a white character.
Alright, as long as we are being silly, who would perform best as Great Cthulhu in a movie (no Hillary jokes, please)?
My own pick would be David Warner, although he may be too old for the part.
That name “Misha”…..some kinda Polack maybe?
Altai, This is good news. For years Whites have been saying “Why do we have to save you a seat, build your own table.” I mean if they really mean it.
Asians, remember that white men are your enemy!
Running through the park was a cancer scientist and mother of two. The instinctual thought of the [criminal] was rape and murder.

It’s not bad enough he did this, he had to do it to a cancer researcher.
Isn’t every black celebrity an activist by default? Is there any point to these redundant titles other than fake racial adulation?
Didn’t Lovecraft himself view blacks with contempt?
Imma start working on my modernized Lovecraft story.

Maybe I can get a Hugo award winning writer to help me with it!
Raised by a single mom, and now raising her child by herself. Rage indeed.
She believes Jussie. She believes.
“…Smollett, agreeing to address the incident for the first time publicly, maintains her brother’s innocence.”
Don’t stop believing…
The lyingpress wants you to know that tomorrow Trump will be subpoena’d by the State of New York over banking transactions which are all but guaranteed to be both a nothingburger and a reminder of nothingburgers past.
The lyingpress doesn’t want you to know that youtuber Kip Simpson has been keeping track of a certain huge national story, which has gone wierdly unreported at the national level. Perhaps a sample (below more tag) will suggest an overall theme to this phenomenon:

Bitch certainly has the Innsmouth look. I wonder what her cat is named?
Lastly: she claims she’s building her own table (sure) but can’t be troubled to build her own mythos.
… whenever she can steal time away from her 3-year-old son, Hunter, for whom she doesn’t currently have regular childcare.
That’s a dog whistle to well-to-do white women, to induce white guilt over the fact that their privilege is still there. Not only does Smollett not have the income for an au pair (systemic racism) nor does she get Headstart pre-school coverage (Republican political racism), she also has to “steal time” from her son, an obvious reference to slavery times (racism racism).
At least she’s not “tired”.
Hey does anybody here remember the movie “Singles” ?
This has nothing to do with that but WTF ?
Too much smooching for me .
Typical OT donut rambling you say . What could be more OT than what the the saga of this half breed clan ? What do you think ? Are these White boys throwing rocks in Portland or just trying to pay off a mortgage ?
Just one, but the dead ones ain’t biting on much.
Im actually a pretty literate person for my region & i didn’t know who lovecraft was til my college yrs….
I don’t think her series will have that big a following…..Lovecraft is already kinda a fringe cult figure.
I literally think they’re fishing for demons w a somewhat questionable past…..i don’t think Lovecraft has enough of a mainstream following to make her goof series even moderately successful….
But shouldn’t Lovecraft be cancelled for his . . . white supremacy?
Lovecraft Country may well be bad, but Lovecraft’s stories are largely about race. Some can be read as allegorical defenses of the white supremacy he explicitly affirmed in his political essays; the half-human, half-fish creatures in “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” like Wilbur Whateley in “The Dunwich Horror,” emerge from the fever dreams of the most fanatical opponents of interracial marriage. But intra-racial breeding is no less a horror for Lovecraft; consider Delapore, the narrator of “The Rats in the Walls,” haunted and ultimately consumed by the memories inherited from ancestors centuries back, inherited memories which set Normans apart from Saxons, Nordics from Mediterraneans, etc. Indeed, Lovecraft never holds out hope that there can be an escape from horror. He may have preferred white supremacy to any other arrangement, but that does not mean that he would deny that it was a horror. On the contrary, it was the horror he chose in preference to the other horrors that were available.
Hollywood has been majorly pushing many young, zero-talent, black/white mixed race women lately. Zoe Kravitz and Zendaya are the biggest ones. It happened countless times with white women (remember Meg Ryan?) so I’m not particularly bothered. But at least the Meg Ryans had the sense not to become annoying activists (that part comes after they stop getting roles offered).
Isn’t that now the plot of every movie and TV show in the current year?
But of course. America is just one big street-mural of racism and injustice to all the Ellis-Island people. White people accomplished nothing of note or that was any good – they are just cardboard villains for the racially diverse heroes to curbstomp in perpetuity.
It’s an act of negation to make Lovecraft woke, given that he was – what is the term of art now? – a racist. And yet it is an admission by talentless hacks like J.J. Abrams, who turns everything he touches into crap, that he can’t really create anything. He can only steal and vandalize.
Learning from her brother’s mistake, she vowed to only fabricate hate hoaxes in the far distant past.
If we are being serious, the answer is no one. Cthulhu is too alien for a human actor. Nyarlathotep is the only one of HPL’s cosmic beings that could be portrayed by a human, as we are explicitly told that he occasionally takes on a human guise :
–The Whisperer in Darkness
Of course, Nyarlathotep’s favorite form is that of The Black Man:
“Dreams in the Witch-House”
And I tend to think that Hollywood would frown on something that un-Woke:
‘In the fraught, sweaty days following the police killing of George Floyd, Jurnee Smollett has been working through a battery of emotions: There was profound grief, then fear, anxiety and, now, rage.
“Oh, the rage,” she howls, “the rage I feel in my body.”…’
Surreal.
I thought that was some kind of oblique reference to “colored people time,” which the Smithsonian recently confirmed was a real thing.

How do you figure that? Her income is above the 99th percentile for white women.
I’ll bet it comes with 2 pages of directions and an Allen key.
Somehow I get the feeling a white person using such crude language would get very different treatment.
So the black jew is working with another black and two jews on a movie about the horrors of white supremacy – very brave, very 2020.
‘Eh. A lot of the major outlets, including the blogs, are trying to retcon this. Their commenters, including the most painfully orthodox leftists, are all “wtf”? But it just keeps going on. That shows that TPTB want the narrative to continue. So they’ll keep hiring the family, and may try to rehabilitate Jussie, in the face of rabid opposition.’
That’d definitely be a case of ‘the worse the better.’
Try to rehabilitate Jussie Smollett, please. There are still some that need their noses firmly rubbed in this big shit sandwich we’re all being fed.
…that metaphor’s a mess, but the point is clear.
Jäger?
The most remarkable thing about her story is that she has a son whose name doesn’t begin with the letter “J.”
Yeah, that kind of statement makes no sense given what we know about the case.
Unless she is afraid of incriminating Jussie. Or herself.
If I were a prosecutor on this case and wanted a conviction (the two are not naturally linked in Chicago or with lefties), and I read that, I would immediately try to get a warrant and start surveillance on her, and investigate her connection here.
Maybe they share an agent and the agent hinted to both of them that staging a hate crime would be a good way to up their Q rating, and only Jussie made the effort.
That’s my point, I don’t believe it. Smollet just came off her biggest payday after being deliberately cast as a comic book character that was previously always depicted as white and now in bloody Lovecraft?
And what’s the point of all the insane thingsthathappened.txt stories about her family being racially abused in LA during the 90s/00s (American History X was a highly representative documentary) if not to extort from the same table.
Public school teachers (babysitters) will vote, whether they clock-in from school or home.
But as government workers, they should be disenfranchised.
Also, public (especially union) workers should receive their share of tax dollars via EBT. That way attempts to use such cards for political action, or other proscribed uses, can be e-denied.
They’re angry and they’re shrewish,
They’re lying and me-too-ish,
They’re also partly Jewish,

Although she’s a focal point for all this she didn’t hire herself. It’s HBO running this, putting anti-white hate propaganda out on the airwaves. Who’s running HBO?
Her terms are acceptable.
What’s happened to Jogger, the quieter sibling?
Indeed. Seeing Cthulhu sends people mad. Whereas the mere thought of White Supremacy has the same effect. Clearly one is far more dreadful than the other.
Lovecraft Country is at least the sixth sci-fi/horror franchise to get the woke treatment in the last couple of years.
The other five were all critical favorites and audience failures (judged by Rotten Tomato scores):
Star Trek: Discovery, C=81%, A=42%
Twilight Zone, C=69%, A=50%
Watchmen, C=95%, A=55%
Star Trek: Picard, C=87%, A=57%
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, C=75%, A=48%
Will Hollywood get the message that: you get woke, you go broke?
Or are sci-fi/horror properties like local police, tending to the conservative and so necessarily to be stomped out?
White nationalists like Steve and Steve Bannon don’t want more Asian immigration. Specifically Bannon does not like Indian managers coming to the US and taking the lead at tech companies. Liberals are fine with it. So even though white nationalists favor law and order on balance from a South Asian perspective who is group to favor more? Objectively are white nationalists the enemy?
I am guessing she didn’t honor dear old dad by having a baby with a Two-job jew. I think she went with a no-job blacketty-black.
Jurnee is a hideous thing.
Two of the most superstitious groups I’ve seen are Jews and negroes. So it’s little surprise that they each obsess over what is essentially white mojo.
👌🏻
White supremacy and racism will exist as long as malicious blacks can take out their resentment and conscious inadequacies on white people, and employ the shabby old myths as cover. They afford blacks means of blaming all their problems on someone else and enhancing illusory moral superiority at the same time.

How about an X-rated version where they all get chain saws? Tell a little white lie and give them the impression the winner gets to live.
Poor Lovecraft. The plot of his most famous story, ” The Shadow Over Innsmouth”, has to do with an alien race miscegnating with human women, resulting in horrible, misshapen half-breeds who spread terror and devastation over the peaceful New England countryside Lovecraft loved.
Crazy, huh?

To be fair, almost no actors are talented. Let’s see, we’ve got Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman…..uhhhh, that’s about it.
David Cross had a funny bit about this.

“Streete was also convicted of forcing a girl to perform oral sex on her 16th birthday, raping a 19-year-old and and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old schoolgirl.”
Unfortunately they only came forward after the guy was a murder suspect. Looks like the feminists are right and a lot of rapes are still unreported even now.
It’s not your fault if your car is stolen when you leave it unlocked and the keys in the ignition, but it’s still not a sensible thing to do. You can see why she thought the court experience might not be a nice one.
one of the sickest trends in entertainment/propaganda these days is the woman warrior, the self-righteous and entitled star who fights better than any of the men she encounters. she’s gorgeous and fit and now that isn’t enough for the female ego: she must also outdo the men on the field where men have always been regarded as superior. why women need this today, I don’t know, but I think it is a sign of something ill, a desperate delusion, perhaps because women are already higher than they should be, on some level where the vertigo is strong and they must deny, deny, deny everything natural?

Since she wasn’t shot, there’s a good chance the murderer was in contact with her body.
Wasn’t there a killing of a Georgia jogger recently that got a lot of press? For some reason I’m guessing this killing doesn’t attract nearly as much attention. I just can’t put my mental finger on the reason for my doubt. Something about narratives.

It’s even worse people like this are in Texas in the first place.
Not just any table, but a M****r F*****g Table !
This ain’t no shit … when I was a kid going to a mostly black inner city school, I thought the ‘ LSMFT’ one saw on cigarette packs stood for “Lucky Strikes, M****r F*****g Tobacco !”
The daughters of Coudenhove-Kalergi are all over the music industry.
Altai, and with Obama’s presidency they had a seat at the head of the table, with Holder, Jarret, Rice, et al, at his right hand. “Build That Table”
Her income doesn’t matter – she still gets to do the dog whistle. White guilt is emotional – rationality doesn’t count.
“Even COVID-19 is being all whiteist and anti-semitic, riding like Cossacks, impacting disproportionally.”
Here in Michigan, the fact that Covid-19 has disproportionately affected obese, diabetic blacks with heart disease and high blood pressure is considered proof of systemic racism that must be addressed. Detroit blacks must be given better schools, better stores with better food, more money on their EBT cards, etc.
Ok
I read a series of his short horror stories and was surprised that many of them included the dreaded N word. In fact, some of his villains are primitive blacks who engage in cannibalism. I wonder if this black actress has read any Lovecraft stories?
Right-O, I was assuming Mr. Warner’s voice would be used, and maybe eyes peering out of some computer-generated alien form.
“Sit your ass down. You polabear the Nyar, you end up with no arms. Or just become a black body without a soul.”
“What?”
“Man. Black people don’t have NO IDEA what they be messin’ with.”
“… You hear dat hammering out of the Floyd’s coffin?”
Isn’t that something that has come over from the Manga Universe in the last 30 years or so?
What does this have to do with the *ahem* very imaginative Smollett siblings?
There isn’t some glut of woman warriors in media (that was more of a 90s thing) except for in superheroes movies and sci-fi. And well- we are talking comic books and sci-fi. Superhero movies are inherently ridiculous and I’m sick of them. In sci-fi anything can happen…it’s speculative.
More of your energy should be directed towards analyzing why there are so many damn superhero flicks and what that says about society.

White Women need to get an asswhooping of biblical proportions to help in realignment to basic realities.
Sometimes I wonder if tv becoming so woke in the past 5 years is not just a result of diversity casting, but also due to a sudden oversupply of black actors who will work for cheap. Someone should look into this.
What’s disturbing about this trend is that it’s being forced through by outsiders who do not understand or even like the archetype they’re using. It’s one thing to have Lucy Lawless, physically perfect, with a supernatural character story, and spending due time on overlooked action star requirements like breaking up the mood with self-deprecating humor, and another thing to have any one of the current movie scene’s out of shape bitter harridans effortlessly beating up guys because the script says so. This sounds insane but there has never been so little female dominance in mainstream entertainment, the peak was probably the 80s. Weinstein Feminism, which is less about making women look strong and more about attacking any men who aren’t Harvey.
H.P. had a very low opinion of many non-White peoples. In today’s parlance he would be called a “racist.”
That’s why he’s being Cancelled and unpersoned within the Woke science fiction covens, and this retconning is part of it.
Scream? Looks more like her breath to me.
So her brother is not the only screamer in the family.
The big tell was that his entire story was utterly insane.
For all of the proclaimed wokeness of Hollywood and it’s mob, I have yet to see any ongoing film or TV project actually made in a black majority nation.
Jamaica? All of sub Saharan Africa?
Some of these larger countries have media production, yet none of that product is shown here (very little) and none of these Wokesters actually go to Africa to make entertainment.
It’s almost as if they avoid black ruled nations…
Will the plucky Smollett siblings will be able to collect reparations payouts from both the USA and Poland — since Israel has been demanding megabucks for any unpleasantness experienced by the chosen ones during the German occupation in WW2? This could well provide enough money to defray the costs for their family carpentry project.
One nagging question, though: aren’t tables cultural appropriation?
I guess “Jurnee Smollett, brother of Jessie Smollett,” is a typo. Or iwas she born a man?
Not all brothers are men, you transphobic scum.
Exactly right. The Secretary of Health for Pennsylvania is a fat old man who dressses up like a girl. He pulled his mother out of a nursing home in PA before requiring that nursing homes there admit people with Corona.
The point was never that he was best for the job, but to remind the people of the state that they were helpless in the face of the left in power.
Checks out.
Oh, come on. You don’t think the Israeli New Thor couldn’t kick your ass?
She is so intimidating. I almost want to carry her groceries for her.
Yeah, no doubt! In the year of St. George, it is for certain that this goofy series will win every conceivable award.
Interesting that mixed-race people such as Jurnee and Jordan Peele are involved in yet another HBO series about the horrors of alleged white supremacy. Peele, who has a white mom and is married to a white woman, must feel deeply conflicted about how he is viewed and accepted by the black community. That is why he’s always going on-and-on about the evils of racism, even though our current system seems to have benefited him pretty well. The angst of many mixed-race people (Colin Kaepernick, Peele, all Smolletts, etc.) is truly something to behold. https://www.outkick.com/mixed-messages-on-race-increasing-polarization/

Really? I’ve never heard a peep of dissent.
Cthulhu should never speak. And if he does, the sounds must not resemble any Earthly tongue.The distress signal in ALIEN is a good example of what Cthulhu might sound like:
Maybe start by inventing your own motherf***ing wheel?
Jurnee’s superpower is remarkably similar to Ben Stiller’s superpower in Mystery Men. As Mr. Furious, his superpower was getting really, really angry.
Irrelevant, the unstated question was about the safety of Asians now living here. Of course, we may see a decline in immigration, if there’s more vibrant diversity like this.
In the words of that ol’ time negro preacher Hillary Clinton…

Don’t laugh, like Aquaman talks to fish she has the power to address AIPAC and can call on the entire US military to attack her enemies
Maybe, except I don’t actually know what an “activist” is. Not sure anyone else does, either.
You might well be getting Shub Niggurath instead. Iä! Iä!
They’re just using the guy’s name. No need to pay his estate or anything, since I think his stuff is in the public domain by now.
This show is based on a book by some guy who looks like this:
He married Lovecraftian horror and Jim Crow without doing the obvious black monsters terrorizing white women.
HBO appears to be repeating its failure with Watchmen, produced by this conman:
No one needed to pay Alan Moore, either. Not because he’s long dead, but because he has principles of one sort or another. (Probably Moore is “problematic,” considering he’s a white male in his 60s.) Lindelof continued the story of a fake alien invasion of NYC intended to avert nuclear war by restricting it to race politics in Tulsa, Oklahoma for no discernable reason.
Aside from the obvious reason of negromania.
A fictionalized Massachusetts is the location most used by Lovecraft.
1d10/1d100 Sanity loss, just like the real thing.
So I’m probably the only one here who actually read the book (made sure to get it secondhand to avoid giving money to people who hate me), because I’ve got a serious love of Cthulhu stories. It’s a vice.
As an occult horror story, it’s actually not bad. The woke aspects would probably annoy most people here, though I spend enough time reading the Atlantic and the like that it kinda rolled off me. It actually was fairly creative, though the sheer number of black sci-fi and fantasy fans who popped up struck me as kind of a wish-fulfillment fantasy–seems like every other black person is into Lord of the Rings or Asimov. There’s even a not-entirely-evil white guy.
It’s not too hard to see how, given the demands of wokeness these days, it would be chosen to make a TV series out of. But it’s not as though they invented the story to pee on Lovecraft or anything–he exists in the story as the author of his fiction, which bears some resemblance to the tropes that actually exist in the world of the story. A (black) character remembers enjoying his stuff and being chagrined to discover the guy’s racial views.
Personally I never got too worked up in either way, neither seeing him as the author of some sort of racial consciousness (you really wouldn’t want to ask Lovecraft advice for anything about the real world, as he failed at money and marriage and his stories had to be rediscovered by others) or as some evil avatar of racist prejudice (all he did was write a few stories in which race is at most an underlying theme–there were guys a decade away writing actual pamphlets for the Nazis). The only thing that remains is the theme of the ultimate irrelevance of humanity, and the monsters, before which racial distinctions are basically irrelevant–Cthulhu doesn’t really see race, we’re all just insects to him.
Maybe just me, but Jurnee looks synthetic in that pic. Like an animatron or Realdoll. The “uncanny valley” effect is strong.
Well, I read the opening section:

And I found it so tedious that I was not inspired to read any further. As near as I can tell, Ruff has one trick: Wokeness+Lovecraft. And , these days, we’ve got God’s plenty of that kind of thing:

If anyone wants to read fiction that genuinely captures Lovecraft, I strongly recommend TED Klein’s brilliant collection Dark Gods. Not all the stories are Lovecraftian (Children of the Kingdom, for example, is a very effective riff on Machen’s “Little People” mythos), but there are two tales in the collection that do play around with HPL’s work and thought in interesting ways: Black Man with a Horn and Nadelman’s God. In the former, a member of the Lovecraft circle learns that the Master’s work was not entirely fictional, while in the latter an advertising executive learns the true nature of reality. It’s great stuff:
Other Lovecraftian tales that I can recommend:
Ramsey Campbell: To my tastes, his best Lovecraftian stories are “Cold Print” and “The Voice of the Beach.”
Thomas Ligotti: I’d go with “The Last Feast of Harlequin”
Jorge Luis Borges: Borges was somewhat ambivalent about HPL, but that didn’t stop him from dedicating a story to Lovecraft’s memory, the superb “There are More Things.”
Fritz Leiber: “The Terror from the Depths” and “The Dreams of Albert Moreland”
Fred Chappell: Ever wanted to read a novel that combines Southern Gothic with Lovecraft? If so, Dagon is the book for you.
Karl Edward Wagner: “Sticks”
