The system that was in place in Africa pre-european contact was a vastly different system than the one Europeans use. It’s disingenuous to do the whole pointing fingers “They did it first bullshit.”

If you were raised properly, you would know the “ They did it first!” excuse is not accepted from Kindergartners, let alone adult racists.

The aesthetic of wearing rags and acting like you’re a refugee is not the same as being rounded up at gun point and moved to a concentration camp on a cattle car with the knowledge that you and your loved ones will be forced to work as a slave or be murdered as a faceless member of a herd based on your religious…

Yeah I’m going to go ahead and object. Pretty sure they didn’t feed folks in the camps Subway, or pay them $100.

I’m guessing you’ve forgotten a few major plot points of X-Men Origins Wolverine.

Man, kinja *really* hates Leonardo DiCaprio. Can someone explain? The numerous “DiCaprio is an asshole because he hangs out and sleeps with models” articles makes me think I’m missing something. It can’t be just that right?

I mean, if you watch just this video, it looks like he’s laughing at something someone said to him off-camera and wasn’t paying attention to the proceedings at all.

A younger, nerdier Robert Downey Jr. and a totally *BRITISH* Rachel Bilson?

The Super is not too far from the platonic ideal of a TAL episode, and I’m kind of mad I didn’t include it. I have a really vivid memory of driving around New Orleans choking with laughter as Jack Hitt describes the super’s seemingly made up stories, and then getting to work and getting really punched in the gut with…

I like that phrase, “unexamined privilege”. Because they’re aware that privilege is a thing and that they have it, but their little brains can’t quite make the connection to why that’s an issue. It just gets distilled into a catchphrase to shout at white men trying to have a grown-up conversation about contemporary…

It’s the whiff of unexamined privilege and subsequent entitlement that sours me. Their hearts are in the right place, but they shoot themselves in the feet *every time* because they lack actual perspective.

THANK YOU, PREACH!

So it seems clear that Jezebel’s main audience is, in a typical move, vilifying this black man when if anything can be clear,

I clicked through to read his statement and I don’t see where he explicitly insults anyone who believes her and not him. He goes out of his way to say that women should be believed as a matter of course in DV situations. I’m somewhere on the meh-to-who scale when it comes to this guy, but if it went down like he said…

how is he an abuser??? everyone on here has already presumed his guilt. i am genuinely confused. if she hit him first, why is he painted as the abuser, even if he was just trying to defend himself? or are all white women dainty flowers who pose no real threats to men, especially black (read: violent, strong) men? WTF…

For me, it's just all-out terror. They are a very powerful and influential bunch. I found Going Clear far scarier than (name your fav horror flick.)

I had to share this with someone. My BFF was talking about the interview today. First, she called Leah “Some crazy lady” I said “You mean Leah Remini who’s been an actress forever, King of Queens etc? And, before we continue this conversation are you actually going to take a pro-Scientology stance because we can just…

Have you read Going Clear? The movie is good, but it’s basically just Cliff’s Notes, the book has all the dirt.

JLD is the most talented and consistent comedian on TV since Lucille Ball, but she’s won enough times already! Amy unequivocally deserved a last-chance Emmy alongside Jon Hamm.

Amy Poehler and Parks should've gotten something at this point. God damn. NOT HAPPY but I love veep and JLD so. I'm conflicted.
