Intent is irrelevant. Besides which any media savy 17 y/o has no excuse not to at least acknowledge if not fully comprehend cultural appropriation by now. None of this is happening in a vacuum. And TBH, I’m tired of well-intentioned white people leaping to the defense of the latest idiot to do some obviously racially…

Behind every hip hop star is some random white person making money off their talent.
It’s 2015. There’s no excuse for blurry video footage of any kind.
Really? You woke up with fake tits, lips a fake ass and some black girl’s hairstyle?
She competes in the Olympics. They catch everybody. If she were doping, we’d know. She’s just that good.
“arguably the most dominant tennis player ever”?
Did YOUR grandfather have the entreprenuerial drive to make money bootlegging and war profittering? Back of the line, moocher!
“You all need to work more.” - person who’s never worked an honest day in his life.
Why does no one understand that I didn’t mean literally drive white kids to depressed areas but actually educate them as to how federal policy created “ghettos” and how tax policy subsidizes white flight and how employment and education discrimination overdetermine life outcomes for people of color? How would that…
That’s not what I said. I said, very specifically, that investigations of white privilege are a black/white thing. I didn’t dispute that he has experienced racism. I said, again, was that his experience as an Asian is not interchangable with black people’s experience with racism. I’m not questioning his credentials.…
What I said was that it was important to illustrate the historical linkages between the who and why of privilege. Are white people going to just spontaneously understand redlining, food deserts, and overpolicing by watching a doc on netflix?
That’s kind of my point. He’s white progressive’s designated cause celebre and therefore has unique insights into the dynamics of black/white race relations because America needs immigration reform? Just like it’s not a misery olympics; it’s not one size fits all. One type of marginalization does not swap out for…
I get that haute couture is for the artist expressions and whatnot but how does this batch of billowing, asymmetrical bullshit differ from any other weirdly named Italian guy’s shimmering, frilly patchwork of WTF? - said the hetero man.
Sitting in a room with their gay friend is not going to lead to any breakthroughs.
I realize white people generally don’t believe something is legitimate until it is confirmed by another white person but I think what we really need is to document how white privilege affects black people’s lives. Watching a bunch of co-eds and bros weep/succeed in missing the point isn’t really worth my time.
Where did that guy learn to shoot?
Being white trumps everything.
Of course, Drake is at Wimbledon.
Saw my first live NASCAR race this year: 1) I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it 2) I can see why Earnhart Jr. is so beloved and respected in the sport. He seems like a First Class dude.
