By Anthea Butler

…political streak. It was shocking to see Sister Clarice lolling in the family bed (talk about misleading packaging; her clothes had me convinced she was a virgin priestess). And, as many others have noted, it was revelatory to watch Granny cutting up chicken. We’ve touched on Caprica’s mash-up of sci-fi and soap opera—which speaks to Henry’s observations about worlds we can learn from versus the world we live in—but I like that about the series….

I know we all have life’s stresses of *waves hands* everything from bills, to health, family, that one annoying friend, a sun that’s not just turning alabastarians into ash heaps, but causing us melaninated folks t…
