But one can nonetheless find celebratory images of them. Who knows, maybe everyone used to make fun of Ben Franklin's paunch. There are certainly male celebrities who are also overweight and who are mocked for it. There are many comedians who build carriers out of mocking their own bodies, from Chris Farley to Melissa…

Re: first sentence

Are there artists who actually start the show at the listed time? I feel like most concerts I've been to theres at least 30 minutes of hanging around until the opener comes on, followed by another bit of hanging around between the opener and the main act. I never thought it was a big deal as it gives you a chance to…

No, I didn't say or even imply any of those things.

So the problem is that they weren't racist enough in casting these fly girls? Should they have said "well, fly girl means black, so you white girls can't get the job"?

Uh, I posted that reply well more than 12 hours before you posted yours...

How? Whether one statement contradicts another is usually a matter of logical truth not opinion. I see no way that the statements "Eccie.net, a Texas-based escort review site, isn't novel in its service. Escort review sites have been a thing for a while" logically contradict the claim that the "website lets users rate…

It's not an incorrect summation, that's exactly what the site does. It doesn't say this is a new concept or unique to this site.

I guess you got tired out by the second paragraph:

"When you have the gamepad, it's easier!"

It's not a false analogy, the central point is the same; when faced with discrimination one should stand one's ground and vocally oppose the discrimination, not flee to where the discrimination is not present.

Just like people who had to deal with segregation should have just moved to a state without it instead of trying to change their state...

Fixed?

Yea I stopped ever commenting on Kotaku and started visiting far less often once they switched, and now I'll be giving up similarly on Jezebel. I hope they keep gawker the same for a while : / Especially on the mobile site the new main page view is just terrible, and the new comment system surprisingly manages to be…

I forgot Joe Camel was in New Kids on the Block.

"Today's Imaginary Girlfriend is Game of Thrones' Jon Snow." Can't tell if that was a mistake...

Your head must explode when thighlights come around.

It's a trend that goes far beyond you and Finney. The tendency to identify primarily as black even if you are 1/2, 3/4 or 7/8 some other ethnicities is unfortunately reminiscent of the "one drop" mentality that lead to a lot of fucked up laws in the early 20th century, and therefore is rather racially charged.…

Um, I guess, though I'm not sure why you've adopted such a hostile tone. It's a rather nuanced issue at the heart of the article you wrote, so I'm not sure why you're so curt.

While this guy is clearly a jerk, I've always found it interesting that biracial people rarely identify as white, even if they are half or 3/4 white. You yourself said "I am biracial and I am black", but if you are biracial aren't you also something else? If your mother was black and your father was white, isn't it…
