It took long enough, but maybe now these women that were ignored for so long can have their voices heard. “Obviously, Mr. Masterson and his wife are in complete shock” my ass...

I don’t know what’s more astounding with these stories, that these people thought they could get away with this awful shit, or the fact that for so many years they actually did.

thanks, i hate literally all of the content of this dirt bag, as i imagine you do as well

Given Tesla’s quality control issues, I’m assuming this was merely an opportunity for Musk to disappoint two women at once.

How this woman transformed herself from cool rock chick to cheeseball TV personality is mind boggling.

She was one of my absolute favorites for very, very many years — I agree Return of Saturn might be better than Tragic Kingdom, though they’re both on my top 10 favorite albums. But honestly, I resent her so fucking much these days. Between my slow realization of her long-running cultural appropriation bullshit, and…

“To be fair, since she (wrongly) thought she knew the owners of the house...”

“To be fair, since she (wrongly) thought she knew the owners of the house, I’m pretty sure she thought her extreme condescension was polite.”

First, she did not know the owners of the house. Why you’re giving her the benefit of the doubt that she thought she did and was wrong, I do not know. She was talking out of her…

Agree with everything you said, and wanted to add that when white men shoot up schools, we get article after article about how they were bullied and ostracized and couldn’t find girls to date as if that somehow humanizes the atrocities they committed. As if people of color and LGBTQ kids and women aren’t subjected to…

THIS.

I don’t know who taught you that was polite, but that was textbook deliberate condescension.

To be fair, she could have just minded her own fucking business and kept walking her “polite” racist ass on down the road.

The only thing I’d suggest is that this line doesn’t strike me as correct: “Their first instinct was to react with fear...”.  I think rather, their first reaction was to act like they were in charge and that the person they were talking to was not their equal.

What cracks me up about her interference the most is that it’s just chalk! Even if it weren’t his property, it would’ve washed away with 20 seconds of a garden hose. I hope she thinks it's worth it.  

Hun, she didn’t wrongly think she knew the owners. She was consciously lying as a flex to put a person of color in his place, never dreaming for a minute that she was speaking to the owner himself. 

Probably because she didn’t actually think she knew the owner?

Yep, this guy is spectacularly cool.

Yeah, my nerdy, middle-aged ass has a serious crush on that dude, on so very many levels.

Screw doing some deep dive into her life, nobody cares about her life or even her specifically. Like the article says, she’s just one example of awful actions out of many.

Wow. I had never seen that Alexander video. It’s not even the accosting and the assumption that he doesn’t live there (which are awful), but the way she’s explaining to him how basic things like property ownership and protest work. This is exactly the way I talk to my three year-old when he wants to know why he can’t…
