For most Black and Brown children, there is no Officer Friendly. That mythological being died long ago in a racist police department near you. The Death of Officer Friendly was not reported on the TV/radio news or written about in the papers – there was no obituary for him/her. Officer Friendly died quietly and without fanfare,…

The indoctrination to worship law enforcement as our heroes starts young. I remember our first grade class getting a visit from Officer Friendly, a young White guy with brown hair and eyes who smiled as he told us wide-eyed six & seven year old kids about policemen and how they are there to help us…

“I don’t like kids messin’ with my stuff.”      The ancient wooden door swung open. Inside it was pitch black. Johnson hesitated. What was it that made him apprehensive? His mouth felt dry and he tried to swallow.      “Go on in!” taunted the old man as he shoved Johnson through the door.      Stumbling…

We are living in frightening times here in America. I never thought I would live to see Nazi fever take over the United States the way that it did Germany during the 20s & 30s, but here it is and we must do something about it – otherwise, those lunatics will start killing off their…

The dipping of the oars grew nearer, and I noted that the strokes were firmer and longer. The food had been needed. They came to a stop a little distance off the broadside, and the queer voice came again to us through the darkness: “Schooner, ahoy!” “That you?” asked Will. “Yes,” replied the voice. “I…

By William Hope Hodgson, 1907 It was a dark, starless night. We were becalmed in the Northern Pacific. Our exact position I do not know; for the sun had been hidden during the course of a weary, breathless week, by a thin haze which had seemed to float above us, about the height of our…

City-Data is a Boomer’s hotbed of racism, bigotry, and utter White supremacy that never fails to have a dozen or more new posts daily from Trumpists declaring that it is Democrats who are ruining America when in actuality, it is the fault of their Grand Orange Poobah and his minions. Until 2016, the United States…

Women have never been portrayed very well in the media – and this includes film – due to misogyny, patriarchal religions, and the virulent machismo of most societies in general. Horror is one genre in which women are treated as sexual playthings, often killed far more violently than male characters, and often with their breasts…

Horror movies have always been unbearably White. When you did get the token Black or Brown person, they were usually killed off swiftly. Only the (mostly) busty, usually attractive White girl made it to the end. I’ve also seen gay and lesbian characters in horror movies killed within the first thirty minutes of the film.…
