@avclub-ad47273a7f9689c7782ee76d5d20202a:disqus yup. Every time someone makes a joke about "hey, look a woman/black guy/whatever on the AV Club", or just a comment which makes it clear that they assume that's all that's here, I cringe a little. Because shit, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy right there if it happens…

and an "i" makes an italic, and there are some other ones too.

Fair enough. I don't feel particularly offended, for what it's worth. You have yourself a good day.

@avclub-935f361fa2c753a8b94f28f3f94914cf:disqus yeah, you need to chill out here. At least 3 of us who have a long history of commenting here in very good faith appear to have misunderstood what you said. Looking back at OP, I think you're right, what you meant to say is actually what is said, but certainly if you…

Well if you include the commentariat, both Rihanna and Zero Dark Thirty are extensively criticized here along precisely the lines you want them to be. And apparently Murray criticizes ZDT along the same lines. So… isn't that kind of supporting Alston's point?

You shouldn't treat such obvious trolling with anything like the respect you just did.

To be fair, though, the white critical response to Girls has included a lot of discussion of Dunham's problematic attitudes to race. Even on these boards. So isn't that kind of proving Alston's point?

I just wanted to point out that "sexual immortality" sounds awesome. Please don't fix it.

@avclub-e53fc2424af041d07a7eef5cd8773505:disqus can you point to some examples of that? Because so far as I recall, when Spike Lee makes a shitty movie like Girl 6 he gets panned same as anyone else.

Is this meant to be funny?

@lackofname - So is Tyler perry.

"HIV has a moral component". What does that even mean? Seriously, can you explain it?

Could you please explain how this article is an example of white folks hand wringing? It's about how lame white folks' hand-wringing is, in a sense, but it's hardly an example of it, for obvious reasons.

Well, they're both black, so…

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

What are you doing with them?

I think there may be a certain amount of sarcasm in the OP.

Isn't that a specific reason?

He's a violent gangster rapper!

Nothing rhymes with sheeple, so it's a shitty lyric.
