Ughhhh, I just don't want to believe an episode of this show could fall into the C-range. Oh well, off to watch.

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus Yeah…"3" was the first time I brought it up with you. I don't know if you read the other comments, so I addressed you directly. So then when I already explained that I wasn't angry in your 4th comment you said again "I have to assume you were angry", which leads me to…

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus You said I was angry twice. In your first comment "What is the point of being angry and dismissive?" and in your third reply to me, " I could only guess that strong feelings of anger and annoyance were what prevented you from doing that." I replied to that again because…

"I like dinosaurs". I'm just happy that my "Mike Chang's interests" list can move beyond "Dancing, Tina" I wish the actor who plays him could get on a real show.

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus Well, it mattered to me when I was 6 (that's when Wannabe came out), because as a 6 year old, I wanted people to like me and since my friends (white and black alike) didn't like Scary Spice, I didn't want to be like her. I brought this up because I thought your point…

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus I guess that's an issue of personal semantics. To me, a "girl" indicates a young female. Anyone over 16, I call a woman or adult. So, when I said "little black girls everywhere", I was thinking of 9-year old me, not present day me, because I don't consider myself a…

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus Also, derailed my own thread? LOOK AT ALL THIS DISCUSSION HAPPENING. I haven't gotten this many comment notifications since I said I wasn't that impressed with Lena Dunham's pilot.

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus Yes, I do understand that. I agree with almost everything you said and I came to realize that Lauryn Hill wasn't that amazing when I became a teenager, but that doesn't mean 9-year-old me wasn't happy as hell to find her and because of that, she'll always hold a soft…

Man, comparing Glee with Bubbles' storyline makes me wonder why I waste any time on this crappy show. I'mma go watch some Wire reruns.

I just watched both seasons of Popular and I was sad when I got to the end and realized there was no closure, but after this season of Glee, I am so happy they didn't have a chance to ruin it.

@avclub-d9618ba726f62de721997196bb5619e5:disqus Oh no, she's free to have an opinion. Look, it's posted right there. But, yes, I am free to say "I don't care because I already know" I'm sure there were others who saw her comment and went "Wow, I had no idea, how interesting" and they are free to share that thought.

@avclub-e8f0589577396a5cf5e499e64e9b2700:disqus I am younger than you (I was 9 when this album came out) and was awash in white culture (all white school). You win all the points! But also, not everyone in the black community looks like Lauryn Hill. I had a lot of black friends, I grew up in a black community, but…

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus I never said that you thought it was wrong that I didn't include white fans in my comment. I said I didn't care about your comment because I'm already well aware of the influence Hill has had on white audiences. I really should've just ignored it, but then I am always…

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus Was "Good for you" really that confrontational and mean? I mean, it was sincere, that is good for you. I guess I don't see how people can be confrontational on the internet because these are just comments. But, did I not give my detailed opinion after that in order to…

@avclub-354d2a6c6dc7c81d151228eb1db371c9:disqus I understood the intentions of that comment, I just didn't care. That was pretty bitchy of me, I just didn't think people took comments that seriously. Hey yo, @avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus , let me buy you a drink in the next Girls thread.

@avclub-605302b7b2612ace0b5716f3285b7ba0:disqus I'll notify everyone else at the meeting tomorrow. Tonight, I dedicate my fried chicken dinner to you.

@avclub-d9618ba726f62de721997196bb5619e5:disqus When did I say white people couldn't see Lauryn Hill as a role model? It's quiet clear that white people like Lauryn Hill, that's how she sold so many albums, that's how this article got written, that's how she got popular.

I think I make my point pretty clearly below, but sure. Apologies, that in this comment, on an article written by a white person, on a website that is largely used by white people, I did not include the white perspective in my comment.

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus I'm being dismissive of what you're saying. Because "I was white and sheltered and this lovely black rapper introduced me to so much!" does not equal "I hated myself, my skin color, my hair, and thought I should be ashamed of my background and upbringing until I listened…

@avclub-9bde0966a254ae14403aff3c9af2a06f:disqus That's not what I'm saying. Acting like it's a big deal to say "Lauryn Hill was important figure to black girls" is what I have a problem with, since i think this is just a really obvious fact.
