The thing is, every time I see someone asking her these questions, I think of that scene with Craig Robinson in Knocked Up where he talks about how he's only allowed to let in a certain amount of black people to maintain a low ratio. If she ups the minority factor too much, white people stop watching, she gets…

Nah we're definitely on the same page homie.

I think part of the reason Lena Dunham caught such hell is because of the setting of the show. You're gonna have a lot of backlash from the NYC anti gentrification crowd, because she does a show in Brooklyn without black people, BUT, to be fair, a lot of the neighborhoods Hannah and her friends frequent actually do…

But that's what I'm saying, the critique is internal. It, like, "doesn't matter" to the rest of the world because his movies are pigeonholed as black movies, so it doesn't matter if he does shitty things in them because mainstream (white) audiences don't watch them.

Here's the thing: when POC complain about shows with white casts, e.g. Seinfeld of Friends, no one cares. Sure, some people complained. It was barely reported on, and Seinfeld and Friends gave zero shits about it.

Woah, hold up. That is an unfair comparison.

Every time I see one of these videos, I wonder how this dude still has all his fingers.

My friend works in the blood bank at a hospital. He's told me that it's fairly common to see really serious late stage alcoholics come in and say they've drank antifreeze so they can get an ethanol IV. I guess the receptors prefer ethanol to ethylene glycol, and so the treatment is basically to keep a ethanol in your…

Changes in my life; I never really wanted to live up here and now I don't have any reason to

I'd say we're a city very focused on consumption, which is not that different from anywhere else, except the cost is crazy high, and some of the world's richest people live here. The upside is, because we have so many options, if you dig through the shit, you'll eventually find some gems. This goes double for people.

Queens is too big to conquer. Although I got a lot of white friends heading towards Jackson Heights.

Same douches cut from opposite ends of the same cloth. I feel you homie

I agree (although E from Forest Hills, should you be lucky enough to be that close, is not so bad). On the other hand, I get it. Those other subways don't have quite as catastrophic consequences of shutting down for repairs/upgrades as we do. People always ask when the trains stop running, and they're amazed when I…

Former SF resident. It's a great place, but it's not "the city" the way that NYC is. Better quality of life, sure.

It's more like 116th now (depending on which side of Morningside). But yeah, I'd highly recommend checking out the areas around 145th and 168th. Dominicans make some good ass food.

You've made a mistake (soon to be former UES here), albeit this is the natural progression. You will find the same people who used to frequent Joshua Tree at Dorian's. UWS is much, much more interesting than UES.

I assume you work in midtown, as most of us are doomed to. There are plenty of good places to live in…

Sometimes, I seriously wonder what would happen if black people united to troll racists by claiming they were whites suffering from reverse vitiligo.

...probably because making unclever racist jokes is how you get elected in the first place. I take it you haven't heard anything coming out of CPAC.

Don't respond to people like that. Just try to sell them an extended warranty with their new AR-15 rifle purchase, send a box of Oxycontin, then take out a life insurance policy on them.
