I feel for everyone who actually sat through all 86 mins of this just for James’ 6 (better yet 2) mins on screen.

Everyone wants to be invited to the cookout but don’t want the realeness that comes with it. That is the theme of white America’s fascination, imitation, and deprecation of Black culture. There…
