Color Outside the Lines

Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month

Thread Rules

  1. We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
  2. Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
  3. Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
  4. Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)

Prompt: How’s everyone doing since last week? Feel free to post your thoughts.

The turd sandwich that was last week didn’t end with the election results: sadly Tony Todd died, at the age of 69. I also forgot to mention in the last CotL (can you blame me, I was in shock) that Quincy Jones also died last weekend.

I wanted to highlight these phenomenal African American artists:

R.I.P to these legends.

2nd Prompt: Favourite works or performances by Quincy or Tony?

Next week I’ll be away on holiday. I was wondering if anyone would like to cover? Perhaps share there thoughts on the election? I can still schedule a normal blank thread regardless, but feel free to lemme know.

Hope y’all have a nice day 🙏🏽
