Which brings us back to what is obvious, but bears repeating: Racists aren’t actually concerned about having more white anything, it’s about making sure there is never a counternarrative. Any commemoration, monument or tribute to black life, progress, or history is seen as a threat.

It’s a joke because Ariana’s whole career is essentially the musical equivalent of Blackface.

No one overestimates how funny they are like white dudes because they usually only vet their retarded ass jokes with each other then act shocked when only other meathead white dudes think theyre funny

These stories have happened far too frequently for far too long for people to still think this is accessible. Also, on the chart, how does Ariana Grande get a pass? Or is that a tanning joke?

Can someone explain the Ariana Grande part of this flow chart? Sorry, I’m an older millennial and out of touch.

“On November 29 (too early, or too late, please argue in the comments)“

I burned through “Catch and Kill” in a day, and I’m still incredibly irritated by the whiny non- review this site gave that book. Farrow’s concern for the victims was apparent the whole way through, and the shit they all took trying to get that story told was gut wrenching.

There seems to be a lot of people who don’t/can’t separate their positive feelings and ideas about Clinton from the reality that there are very real questions and charges against him and his personal actions

I realized today that I’ve basically been on one site or another, starting with Jalopnik, more or less since the beginning. Losing 14 or so years of commenting history and bullshit sucks. I hate how this has panned out, but ultimately this was how it was going to end. Been there, done that. Ultimately the douches who…

So, now they’ve killed splinterRIP and deadspinRIP.

Locking up the pedo in their midst would be so modern though.

The whole Meghan and Harry press spectacle has been engineered by the Royal Family specifically to divert attention away from their paedophile member Andrew.  The latest, and seriously most laughable, assertion on the photo of him with Virginia is that it must be fake because she looks too tall.  Because 17 year old…

“Yeah, whatever”.

All of these people are simply finding their own ways to leverage the monarchy to achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. Which is probably what any of us would do if we had intentionally put ourselves in a similar position, as they have, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are basically doing business.

1) This was so well written!

The Royal family is about as modern as the Pope is cool. All William and Harry did differently was pick their own wives. Those wives completely transformed their lives to fit into royalty while the men did nothing to change theirs. So THAT didn’t really change.

Yes of course it was Alzheimer. I was wondering what excuse a white person who come up with to explain this behavior. Because this man can’t just be a plain old racist, am I right? If you are a black/brown person making excuses for this man, then you need to get your thought processes rechecked. White supermacy…

The idea of a monarchy at all is archaic so all of that wealth, prestige and privilege that was accumilated for doing nothing should be rejected if they really want to modernize anything.

Whelp, here we are. Deadspin has finally spun down.
