Who can tell them apart anyway.

All of this raises the question: who the hell is this guy?


He’s the black dude playing the black dude disguised as another black dude.

By the way, I will go full retard if Robert Downey, Jr. stars as Malcolm X in Malcolm X II: II X-treme.

(H/T Sarah!)

    The feel-good story of the summer about one of _those_ people.

    But sadly, no, it’s not presented by Tyler Perry.
