More importantly, though Joe Biden is not the head of the Church, nor is he even a cleric, and so ensuring that an entire country of diverse religious beliefs is upholding the practices of one single entity is not his fucking job.

This...is a weird take. It was funny to see conservatives become outraged over an op-ed by Macy Gray about changing the flag. But her arguments are not convincing. The flag itself doesn’t have inappropriate connotations, nor would a different flag change any of the systemic problems in this country. MAGAs have tried…

No, it just reveals that truly no one cares about this non-incident.

Ellie didn’t say “hey, I have a gay black friend, no way I could ever be racist”

It’s like every GMG site is convinced that this extremely dead horse is dire need of more flogging. Not literally every site, but it sure feels that way.

How dare she not visit her local library and make sure that a town fair and ball have no problematic history before attending!

you mean that shit she did as a child with no real knowledge of what it meant, that everyone shat on you for posting about in the last comments section?

This Ellie Kemper thing confuses me. She participated in an event sponsored by a group that had changed it uglier practices before she was born and yet she has to apologize for what was most likely a family commitment in wealthy society? Give me a second...I heard on the radio that this equates to someone apologizing…

Wow, you guys are really doubling down on trying to make this huge nothingburger a thing, aren’t you?

Blows my mind that people still want to pretend bad faith attacks like this should be humored.

This is the exact same trap Biden and Kamal fell into re: immigration. 

I firmly believe that the only people who felt that an apology was even necessary were the least deserving of one. 

Counterpoint: If someone goes above moving hives of bees based only on what they saw on a few social media videos, we should not be particularly concerned for their welfare.

I genuinely don’t have a bee in this fight, other than having wasted a solid hour following all the drama earlier today, but a lot of the complaints seem really weak. In the replies to the tweet quoted in this article, people have posted screen caps of the Texas bee lady 1) using power tools and 2) wearing protective…

Ah Reddit. It should be known that giving even a sliver of power of moderation within it seems to turn a lot of people into grandiose douchebags with itchy trigger fingers. Hell, they have are subreddit on the drama of power vacuums and other soap opera behavior r/subredditdrama since it happens so many times.

Surprised you didn’t put the puns in the title.

This is some low energy shit right here. 

Hol up, you’re telling me that St. Louis did something Klan related? THE St. Louis? The one in Missouri? Oh wow, who could have ever imagined that aside from literally every person on the planet or at least these United States? I had to look up who she was (I’ve tried with the Office but it’s just not funny; never…

We really doing this? Really? I mean we have Texas trying to take away the right to vote for anyone that isn’t white, actually seasons their food and can clap on the 2 & 4 and this is what you’re concerned with? I am all for multi-tasking but I am also for priorities and this ain’t it. Unless you have footage of her…

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Look, if we start doing “Famous person took part in institution that turned out to be hella racist” takes we’re going to be here forever because, spoiler alert, most white institutions in America are hella racist.
