There is no way I should've been surprised by it, much less angered at all. And yet.

WELP. Looks like I got my wish. Macklemore won EVERY SINGLE RAP NOMINATION he got.

Is it only Early Nineties Black that can be turned white? Like, is it a time thing, is Mid-80s Black considered white now, or was it just ENB's that had that power?

Am I a bad person for kinda wanting to see Macklemore win every rap category, just because I want to see him give several increasingly embarrassed and terrified acceptance speeches, and for the utter, utter carnage that will take place throughout social media if such a thing takes place?

"There is a difference between fighting racism and lazily labeling anything racist if it offends you."

Also, "my bandwagon"? What is my bandwagon here, exactly?

FWIW however, I do not think Robert Downey Jr's blackface was racist, nor do I believe any of the examples provided in "30 Rock"'s run were. I thought the jokes there translated perfectly because the point of the joke was not a crude stereotype of the group depicted in blackface.

EDIT:" Fuck it. In for a penny.

"Here is where I'm going to say something you have obviously already said you disagree with, so we'll probably find no middle ground (agree to disagree): I absolutely do not believe that cultural insensitivity without intent is racism. I believe that one can innocently, innocuously or stupidly propagate a racist idea

Fucking standing ovation. Perfect.

Blah, original comment got lost.

HA. "Manage."

"But I am saying racism has to be intentional, it has to be something based on personal belief."

I hate talking about this it's her body, not mine, but holy shit people weren't wrong about Allie Grant. I didn't notice it last week, but she really has lost a TON of weight.

I know it's Hollywood, so it's not really a surprise, but yet… I am still surprised.

Alright, I should've realized Warren's study partner was gay the second "Closer to Fine" started playing. Nothing heterosexual has ever happened while an Indigo Girls song is playing.

I believe it was "I find your youthful enthusiasm…. exhausting."

Fuck, I LIKE The Lawrence Arms, and this Hatesong comes across like whiny bullshit.

You'd think they'd understand that censoring it is ridiculous now. The vast majority of people interested in buying the DVD these days are adults buying it for themselves.

Forty-ninthed.
