"News of Colbert's move will also undoubtedly will bring back to the surface discussion of the pervasive and pesky problem of a lack of diversity in late night talk show hosts. "

Either everyone gets a say, or no one gets a say.

You don't? I think you have every right in the world to tell someone they're unjustified in being offended. I don't know why this attitude is so common now, it's eliminated our ability to judge and have nuance.

What is so frustrating about this is when Suey Park takes on someone like Colbert it diminishes her credibility and the very real racism that is out there. You can't yell racism at something as innocent as this was and not lose your power when someone really does say something appalling. She took her cause back many

I was happy with how she was treated on Huffpo. She had a really stupid idea, voiced it, got called on it and then turned into an 8 year old with her whole "i'm not going to enact the labor" bit.

So his point is that he should not have to be the standard bearer for Black America just because he's black, and Jezebel's point is "if you're black and famous, you should be capital-B Black first and foremost." Got it.

At least Jez's resident authority of all things black did her daily scan and post. The world would have probably screeched to a halt if she didn't ninja her way onto the thread.

So people got mad a Pharell for not having a black woman on his album cover. Pharell points out there is a black woman on his album cover. People are still mad at Pharell. Is it just me or does this post make zero sense?

No matter what, you people (you Jezebel) will have something to complain about so you can keep the clicks coming.
Yawn.

Thurston Moore will always have a greater moral compass than Jezebel. That's just a fact.

His word choice is weird and pretentious but I'm not sure the essential point is so insane. I interpret it as:

Normally we would treat infidelity as a private matter. But because Thurston Moore is famous, it's fun to read about.

In order to feel righteous and be voyeurs, Jezebel "couches it in feminism". That way we

So, when are we going to get our snarky, poorly written "article" (aka rewrite of a tumblr post from someone stuck in Perpetual Outrageville) about how awful, racist, and problematic Katy Perry is for appropriating ancient Egypt regalia? GAAWWWD, doesn't KP know how omgOPPRESSED the ancient Egyptians where? For shame

The only reason I understand as much as I do about trans* issues is from doing lots of research about it (here and elsewhere). You cannot expect the rest of the world to intuitively understand this. Nor can you expect everyone to research this to gain that understanding.

Another take: "Stop trying to troll for headlines and making everything a controversy. Bye now."

By Jezebel definitions, you were the troll.

People fight for lots of reasons; some good, some bad. Fighting to maintain a system of oppression and dehumanization is one of the bad reasons. Fighting because there's an army invading your home isn't so bad, regardless of why that army is invading. If somebody is coming to burn down your house and land, kill

I'd like to nominate the words "racist" and "homophobic," and "appropriation" too. The way I have seen these words used here sometimes pushes the limits of belief and renders them pretty damn meaningless.

You DO know that Leia kills Jabba while in that getup, right? Giant green beast? Have you ever fucking watched Star Wars?

Sorry but no sane white person suffers from white guilt.about slavery.
