“Our country is shit right now,” Rhodes says, pointedly. “Being a black person in America right now is shit, being a homosexual in America right now is shit, and being a black homosexual is the bottom for certain people. That’s why I’m so excited for people to see Moonlight. I don’t feel like there’s a solution for our problems, but this movie might change people. That’s why you do it — because you feel like you’re doing something that matters. This is someone’s story.”

VERY NICE!
Um, I guess I can’t speak for being black, but being gay in America right now is pretty awesome compared to, I don’t know, almost any other country or time period I could name. I’m not saying the struggle is over, but maybe we should take a good look around and stop feeling so fucking sorry for ourselves.
Maybe he’d be happier in 1816 so things wouldn’t be so shitty for him like they are right now.

This looks GOOD, and I agree, our country is SHIT right now. Shitty pizza, shitty Grndr dates, and shitty “Lets Just Be Friends” moments.
