It is only a matter of time before she cries reverse racism and white victimhood for critiques of this travesty. I bet the YouTube video of her white tears is already queued up & ready to post.

I am firmly on Team No One.

Excellent article, as usual. Of course a person is still Black, and still having a Black experience no matter who they like to spend time with.

Don’t get me wrong, they hold up well. But you can definitely tell they are a product of their times. This goes beyond things like references to the Iraq war/mission accomplished banners and what not and into things like fashion.  

More Buster, less Tobias, is what I say! Tony Hale rocks.

If it makes a difference, it seems AD/Netflix were between a rock and a hard place here. The allegations against Tambor surfaced after shooting ended for season 5. Given the expense and difficulty in bringing in the AD cast for any length of time, the choice was probably “throw out some/all of the new season,” “sit on…

Obligatory!

The filming for AD season 5 apparently ended before the allegations against him on Transparent began

With Kanye you shouldn’t call it a boycott. That will just feed into his persecution complex. For Kanye I really like the “mute” wording. I’m not boycotting you. I’ve just forgotten you exist completely.

I lost a college friend to suicide and the reaction I had was not the one this show seems to promote, which is “when people kill themselves it’s obviously everyone else’s fault.”

Counterpoint: rainfall shower heads are awful and don’t have enough pressure to adequately get the shampoo out of my thick-ish hair.

I don’t watch any of the Kardashian shows (I don’t live in the US) or follow her or her family on any social media, so my knowledge of Kim is pretty random, mainly from when she’s mentioned in something I read. I don’t know if that necessarily gives me a different view of her, but here are things I know about Kim…

I’m a big Kanye supporter but my husband asked me the same question earlier this week and I didn’t have an answer. Like, I could not come up with a single idea. I admitted as much and we moved on. Kanye is making it so hard to love him!

Wait, so you value a moral compass over the nudes she published recently? Weird. /s

damn kim is making me like her more and more.

All other issues aside (and there are a LOT), why do 68% of DC schools ban hair wraps and head scarves? Of all the dumb, arbitrary dress code rules, that seems like the dumbest and most arbitrary.

This is a great comment. The school that had an issue with dirty pants was especially out of line. Kids with uniforms only have a certain number of them and not having clean clothes can be a symptom of all kinds of things at home that are not related to respect for being educated or whatever. If a school wants to get…

Being a black girl in the school system (anywhere really) is a double whammy- black and female. But these dress codes are also classsist as hell- if you add low income on top of all that? Forced to wear your sisters old clothes who is shorter than you so maybe the clothes aren’t such a great fit but it’s all you have?…

I am reliably informed that he regularly “does” an eel-human hybrid raised in a tank at MoreauCorp.

Don’t look now, but apparently the driver of the van in Toronto was a huge fan of Elliot Rodgers and has a facebook post hailing him for inspiring this “Incel Rebellion”.
