      “That gave you the idea to go with Charlie’s idea?!”

      “It seemed logical.”

      “I don’t know, man. Maybe we should blow up the bar and see if doing it Mac’s way is better…”

        As long as you believe it for a dozen, a hundred times.

            I am not sure what counts as “black”, but for me, the last couple frames of the GIF are of T’Pring

                  Casting directors, among other Hollywood insiders, called Martel the Chameleon because her appearance and her proficiency with accents and dialects enabled her to portray characters of a wide range of races and ethnicities

                  I might have been bamboozeled by her talent. I’d say that’s a good thing.

                I’ll bite, what black phenotypes is she showing?

                Her skin colour is the same as the guy in the background, straight hair, pointy nose.

                I understand through the history of the US, that people are considered black based on their heritage and that some people are mixed to the point where they become pale and etc, but this particular person in this particular frame doesn’t seem as obviously black as Uhura to a non-black viewer.

            I see it. I was reaching desperately too far to make the joke about dozen and hundred, but apparently I failed.
