Fuck if she cares, racism isn’t a “vital” topic worth discussing, remember?

she will never do this... those racists are a big part of her fan base. and i cant see her ever taking a strong political stance on anything.
Minorities are also burned out by having people assume nefarious things about them based on them just existing in the world - and that is what Lena Dunham did.
Frankly, if that so-called liberal makes harmful jokes that reinforce the murderous stereotype that men of color are sexual predators due to their ethnicity - then to hell with “discouraging the so called liberal’s input.” Amy should have felt curbed from saying shit like her Mexican joke. So-called liberals who…
What’s exhausting is constantly experiencing the casual racism of white people. What’s exhausting is living in a white supremacist culture. That is way more exhausting than the inconvenience of being called on bullshit. And POC don’t have the time or energy to be nice about it.
What is vital is that we shut down casual racism when we see it. For me as a person of color that is vital.
You shut people down and then tried the old “but you guys do you!” bit afterward. Nice try, but no, you wanted to have your cake and eat it, too. Not happening.
It is refreshing to see cancer research being rightfully paraded as vital (not something one sees too much these days when social issues are considered the be all and end all)...but I think you might be missing the point as to why there is a widespread and quite very bipartisan rebuke of the likes of Amy Schumer,…
let me guess your a white upper middle class blonde women. go season some food.
Telling people to keep doing something (after taking pains to show it’s not a thing you personally do) if it makes them happy is mutually exclusive from acknowledging that thing as vital. Maybe you don’t mean to seem dismissive, but it still comes off that way.
These conversations are vital, though? The very fact that Lena’s remark was “offhand” and clearly meant to be “funny” is indicative of a major blind spot many feminists have with regard to race that’s continually handwaved away.
Personally, I’m exhausted by the idea that we have to accept other women’s racism/classism/cisgenderism simply because they identify themselves as “feminists” and sometimes talk about body image, abortion and equal pay. There is room for debate and discourse among women, and there needs to be space for critique of the…
As Lena said in her tweets, the Met story was about her own insecurities,
I think she’s actually attributing that thought to him... which is maybe worse?
Counterpoint: Make Me is terrible. She sounds like she is saying make me moo which just makes it a worse song but also funny.
my thoughts re: this are she honestly does not care at all bc her father makes her do this and she is otherwise too medicated to feel anything
they were talking on the read about how sad it was to see Brit’s performance after Bey’s tour de force, like who wants to follow that? why would she agree to that? but hearing this rumor now, I believe that is exactly what they told her.
We should all be wary. Taylor Swift’s recent “enhancements” are nothing more than her venom sacs filling as she prepares to paralyze her prey and feed.
My thoughts exactly. You thought you were headlining and THAT’S what you brought. Yeesh.
imagine if THAT performance was the highlight of the vmas
