Wu’s worse I just can’t stand her. Yeah talking about Sarkeezy on this site is pretty much a waste of time, but I too keep falling into that trap. I figure at the end of the day, keep calm and just play the vidya

lol I think ol’ Cherry-Pickin’-Sarkeesian is trash too, but there is room in the industry for her critiques. I just don’t get the strong reaction to her for like the last 3 years. It’s those reactions that have inadvertently made her massively popular.

She’s irrelevant, regardless of how many guys she supposedly fucked in two months. Fixating on her only betrays your own ulterior motives.

I wonder about the rating too, maybe they’ll run an entirely separate rating system? But that’ll mean no mixed gender matches. But what I really detest is having to setup a custom Tournament every time I want to simulate Champions league with a different team, they def need to fix that!

Lol if you’re so intelligent then why are you so damn oblivious to how douchey you come across? I mean, it’s not like you volunteered to be on a show where your success is tied to your likability

Just wanted to point out it looks like the DA’s office had no information on this prior to the Mary Sue article.

I’d just add that if you’ve been paying attention to Wu long enough you’d pick up that maybe she’s not all there.

Your comment made me look in a bit more depth what these guys said about new black. I’ll admit, what Pharrell said comes off as quite elitist and detached, reminded me of Maria Antoinette’s “Let them eat cake”.

Funny thing is I saw Sleigh Bells when they opened up for Red Hot Chili Peppers, their music sounds like it’s made for an opening theme of a Saturday morning cartoon. Shows you the state of modern rock.

I appreciate your comment, I’m kinda over all the snark and sarcasm I’ve gotten in response to my post, funny some people still think snark is an argument.

BTW by successful black professionals I don’t necessarily mean millionaires, just someone who has progressed within their field/profession and business owners.

I didn’t suggest people ignore the larger picture or pretend that these problems aren’t there. Maybe you’re referring to Raven Symone’s there.

Well Japanese and Chinese descendants were brought to the country as slaves, they don’t have that trauma latent in their identity. Power structures aren’t as bias against them as they are against black and to a similar extent, latinos. Also, white dudes like fucking Asian women so I’d wager that’s a subtle reason not…

The African diaspora is indeed diverse, but that’s not important to non-Africans who pretty much treat us the same. You’ve got to go back more than 400 years to understand slavery and exploitation, that it’s not exclusively a thing white people did to black people, even though the fallout from the Atlantic Slave trade…

That’s exactly what I propose, you need a ton of endurance and I’ve been through a roller coaster of self doubt at times, that whole “feeling like a loser” crap. But what are you going to do, it’s hard to for sure say, you didn’t get that interview or you didn’t get that job because you’re black in a specific…

No, I don’t understand the new context you created by inserting words I never said into my original comment, altering my initial tone. Maybe you should use quotations next time.

Thing is if you really go into history, you’ll see that this is shit people have done to each other since pre-history. We tend to only consider the history of the last 400 years and come to incomplete conclusions that white people are just plain terrible.

An uplifting mentality to help black people deal/navigate through racist power structures. As faulty as Kanye’s perspectives on new black are, still way more inspiring than calling a successful black person an uncle tom

I don’t really understand your first paragraph, but I’ll agree that history is crucial.

I can agree with that, but the underlying tone of what they’re saying is meant to be inspirational, positive. I can’t knock them for that, but this thing we do of framing the racial landscape and experiences through the celebrity lens just makes us resents celebs for doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
