Man are there some smart mofos in these comments today.

I felt like the “Kathy Rae, you got me fucked up” in that speech was implied. Sharon Reed gave me most elegant, articulate but yet blackest clapback in network news history.

“Schrodinger’s Clapback”

I’d delete all other comments and write a thesis on how to comment based off of this reply.

5. Her smirk after stating, in a manner that can only be described as “aggressively professional,” that she’ll provide her response when they come back. Her entire steez in this video is a master class on aggressive professionalism.

This comment wins the internet

When she actually said Nigger on live TV, because at that point, ain’t nobody trying catch these hands from her while she at work and censor her, I exploded.

The staccato in her speech made each of those claps exist and not exist at the same time. Sharon Reed just invented Schrodinger’s Clapback and should be up for the Nobel Prize in Physics for that shit.

My favorite part was when she was like, “I wish we would just put it on the screen it’s after 9.”

The two things that were missing from this read were:

I love a good read, I REALLY love a read with receipts, and I ESPECIALLY love a read with receipts where you just let the other person’s words serve as the rope as to which they can hang themselves. 

What we witnessed was an assassination.

It should be a case by case basis. I have been there for a false rape accusation. And it’s horrible. At the same time I can think of family members right now that if an accuser came forward, I would absolutely believe the accuser. Believe women to me means take women seriously.

I think some people (like Dunham) operate under the delusion that they are ace judges of character. “If he was an abuser I’d know it.” File under: hubris.

Yeah. The only men - and I mean ONLY - that I would have a hard time coming to grips with would be my husband and my brothers. And then, I’d have to look at them suspiciously and skeptically. No knee-jerk defense, though. And anyone outside of that circle for me? I’ll literally believe it about nearly anyone.

Lena Dunham reminds me of the hipster with the chin curtain beard working at the craft brewery complaining that the neighborhood is being gentrified by hipsters.

How hard is it to just be like “well I hope this isn’t true, but I’m trying to stay positive?”

It is totally reasonable that someone would have a knee-jerk reaction to defend the person they know. I get it. I have had to swallow that reaction before. What really gets me, though, is when it goes so far as to deny a claim on behalf of someone else. Like, if someone I know or love is accused of raping someone,…

True. Someone asked me this question two days ago and I said “I would assume he did that shit.” The person looked at me like I was crazy. I looked right back, like, “Trash men are friends and family to a whole buncha people so I can’t act like my network is immune to it.”

A white woman named “Sarah” who’s always around and disheveled for some reason, and no one quite knows why?
