There is some great discussion about John Glenn's trust of Katherine Johnson here. Great movie, great story and all amazing women.

Great video of her here:

4. No kidding! All he could talk about was their legs and high heals. nt

7. Plus

as usual, he referenced a film ("The Help&quot , which has story line that plays into the same stereotypes that "Hidden Figures" is trying to diffuse (both movies take place in the same period). I.e., black women were maids and black men were butlers or chauffeurs (a la "Driving Miss Daisy&quot .

6. More condescending than usual. Ugh.

Fascinating how minorities are still regulated as 2nd class citizens, by fascinating I mean fucking disgusting.

Jim Crow is still alive.

All 3 of the actress are all so amazing, strong, smart, talented, and anything thing great I could think of.

8. He truly believes

that he is "doing a service" by showcasing these creative folks. But to me, all 6 of them sitting there appeared uncomfortable with his rattling off a bunch of nonsense.

He is an example of what we call "The New Jim Crow" - i.e., "James Crow, Esq".

5. Tweety is a jerk

I made a mistake of listening to him talking to Barbra Streisand and it sounded like he was almost gleeful about tRump and the next four years. What a scumbag he is. He was always gushing about Kellyanne during the election.
