Hunh?! Arguments do go off on tangents but let’s go back to the escalation: This rando chick can’t make a general statement about a long-discussed trend without this middle-aged man, wealthier and more powerful man stalking her and her family, harnessing his followers to harrass her and retaliating like it’s his…

He has a million followers and she’s got 20K. As I wrote above Meg and Cardi get way more shit and you don’t see them losing their gord over it. They don’t indulge “clout chasers,” IF that’s even what she was doing. She didn’t @ him. She retweeted a comment about colorism that thousands of Black people make about…

Sorry about that; I stand corrected. Don’t foist her spawn on Black women...not even in jest...we DEFINITELY have enough issues.

She retweeted someone who listed him amongst several other people and she in no one said anything specific about him. But keep twisted yourself to believe that his actions are justified.

Don’t foist her spawn on Black men...not even in jest...our men have enough issues.

I’ve always thought of Talib as a bit overhyped for his lyrical ability. He’s an okay poet, but rap is supposed to have rhythm and rhymes. Regardless, on Twitter I got excited about him because he was taking down those ADOS clowns (a Russian psyop scheme to co-opt black people in our fight for equality). Those tweets…

The problem is that these folks don’t want a white paradise that excludes people of color, they want to subjugate us, exploit us for cheap labor and culture while denying us of equality. That’s their utopia. 

I’ve been reading Anna Merlan’s (former Jezebel writer) new book, Republic of Lies, and one of the white nationalist leaders she interviews makes that exact same argument. On its face, it could sound reasonable enough; i.e., there are such irreconcilable differences between mutlicultural/multiethnic people and white…

On the flipside, I once met Werner Herzog at a film festival, and he’s EXACTLY like you’d expect him to be.  It was an amazing experience.  

Anyone remember in the ‘90s when Rosie O’Donnell also had a daytime talk show?

I actually Krasinski’s snark comes from his “trying too hard” act the last few years, not necessarily from The Office. From cheerleading the CIA as Jack Ryan to selling his homemade COVID web show for an obscene amount of money, the guy rubs some people the wrong way.

Except that this isn’t one story, this is many stories told over many years. Totally agree that your high school friend’s story is trash homophobic nonsense, though.

The part where she hired a scab crew for lockdown broadcasts instead of her normal crew speaks to how awful of a boss and producer she is

You don’t think maybe there’s a problem with a term that has serious spiritual and cultural connotations for a historically oppressed people being used flippantly by white people to describe, for example, pizza? (I’ve seen people say “pizza is my spirit animal” in case you’re going to suggest that never happens.)

The term anti-semitism has a specific meaning because it has always been used to specifically describe the targeting of Jewish people, at a time when there was not a single predominantly Jewish country in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism#Etymology “Anti-semitism” was never used to describe anyone…

He isnt getting dragged for affiliating with Farrakhan - he is getting dragged for affiliating with Farrkhan’s anti-Semitism - and that is a very important distinction. It is painfully obvious for most observers, but I guess everyone wants to give this weird cornball a pass for some reason?

If you support Louis Farrakhan and the NOI, you support antisemitism. I mean I get it, I get why his message resonates in the community, especially for black men, but there isn’t any grey area or misunderstanding about that message as it regards Jewish people, the NOI is antisemitic and I don’t feel sorry for Nick…

You’re just engaging in whataboutism which is what Trump supporters do. There is no sliding scale of racism/bigotry and most people with a level of common decency hate what Trump stands for and they also hate for this anti semitic bigotry that Farrakhan stands for as well. If Nick Cannon wants to go down and in flames…

How many of us have died on the hill of defending Louis Farrakhan? Nick chose better company I mean shit Nick they already pulled Wild N Out from TV and the rest of your revenue is about to dry up quick. I hope all the white folks that bitched and moaned about “cancel culture” come to his defense. Right JK Rowlings?…
