I’ll have to read it later, but I hope he holds that publication accountable too, with their Mike Brown Was No Angel fuckery.

Headlines just quote people who say ignorant shit like BLM is a hate group, and interviewers rarely if ever press people making wildy wrong statements. It’s scary because the only thing real in this garbage that’s given a national platform every day is the violence of it.
Adding: keep ranting! It’s resistance at this…

This thread has been a renewable source of delight for sure.

This convention is a carnival of the Gotta Hear Both* Sides! approach media has aggressively taken since around Obama’s first run for president. I don’t know how I can still be surprised, but here we are.
*But mostly the side that is armed with zero facts and a lot of race/gender anxiety

That’s tragic because I was low level furious at how lazy the trailer jokes were.

Couldn’t it be inferred by looking at his body????? And the Clark Kent strippergram joke should have been another memory jog. I submit that this person is pretending they don’t know him.

I had to cover my mouth with my hands when the no lenses joke and the covering his eyes so he wouldn’t hear joke came together because I started to spit out my water.

He was really funny, in the way probably most accessible for a 4 year old. Maybe that’s all there is to it. OK, 90%

At least Abby collected and threw away the plates while most were still pretty full.

The characters are not exact analogues of the original cast, which is a good thing. His character is consistently hilarious, they chose a good direction.

One Hemsworth is Thor. Any others are automatically smaller unless they’re nine feet tall.

This condescending solicitousness for coming from a war-torn nation helps nobody and nothing. That is one facet of Maya’s life. She is a whole person with an internet connection and her ignorance here is inexcusable. Black people in America can’t make the factual point that our country is overdue on addressing the…

This comment needs to be the reference in the KnowYourMeme entry for “That’s the joke”.

Same same same. I’m mostly commenting to add to the replies because this should for real be the first comment.

I read this and two involuntary actions happened in quick succession. 1) my mouth fell open 2) a squeak, similar to the noise over a chair leg on bare tile, came out of it. I... just can’t imagine feeling so strongly about my reinforced lashes.

In your dozens of comments here, have you taken a second to type anything resembling “I feel bad for that reporter”? If the answer is no, you aren’t showing more empathy. You are choosing empathy for one party, the violent racist. You haven’t reached some level of enlightenment, as you amply demonstrate with this…

White person to white person, this comment is unnecessary. If it doesn’t describe you, then it’s not about you.

Seriously. And the whole thing is simply dehumanizing when you know your attacker will likely get away with anything they do to you,while you will be punished for even one angry word. The power dynamic here isn’t suspended because of a death in the family. This comment section, Christ.

Howmany people viewing, and especially commenting on this post have ever had someone come at them like this in the workplace? Knowing that you can’t do anything to defend yourself because your job would be jeopardized, not to mention you would attract the attention of already shook up police? And as if that’s not bad…

Empathy for the racist attacker comes at the expense of empathy for the woman attacked while doing her job, that’s why. People have the attack right in front of them, and still talk about how the reporter *might have done to incite her attacker. This is literally taking empathy away from a black woman doing her job to…
