Dependable Black Friend

A 1990s and 2000s movie trope. A diversity token to attract black audiences. Usually the black BFF is unknown to the general audience, but is an A-Lister in the black film scene. They, be it he or a she, offer gems of wisdom with a little urban or southern flair, and sometimes they can even save the day.
I wonder what that black actress from The Unborn is doing right now, she was so hot! But also, a great example of a dependable black friend.

Oh, you mean Meagan Good? I think she's married now..

Depersonize

The act of reducing someone or a person to something below a sentient being. Similar to dehumanize in the way that a person is the same as a human, but built for a better era where humans aren’t the only people.
Donald Trump: “These Illegal Aliens don’t deserve healthcare or basic living conditions.”
Melanie Trump: “Dear, don’t Depersonize these people, they have the right to live on any planet just like you and I.”

Depersonification

Verb. A neo-literary term. The societally detrimental act of giving traits that fall short of classical human virtues to someone portrayed as intrinsically human.
I.e., typically protagonist fictional characters portrayed as lacking beneficial human emotions, like empathy - and painted in a manner that makes their character appealing despite this negative lack.
"The depersonification of fictional protagonists these days is crazy... Despite so many OP characters being unhinged and questionable in motives, they still get depicted as some sort of hero. The wicked grin only the villain once wore is now common on the face of the 'hero.'"

Dependent

YES! OK! Now we're getting somewhere!
Hym "Yes! So the validity of a set of propositions is dependent on the underlying ideas... So, at the core of the of the Abrahamic religions... The underlying idea... That determines the validity of the subsequent ideas... Is the claim that the creature of the universe spoke to the Jews. And that didn't happen. Which is what the question "Do you believe in God?" Is pertinent. So, God didn't say anything to Moses. What you have here is a psychopathic narcissist gloming on to a preexisting religion (following in the footsteps of the original psychopathic narcissist) and trying to morph the religion to his own ends so he can maintain the moral authority that the religion allows him to claim. That's what Jordan Peterson is doing. The validity of everything he says, hinges on a truth claim he does not believe. The thing you said (Jordan), IS NOT GOD. That you. You are not God. You don't even believe that there is one. You are a charlatan. It's not that deep."
