Turkey is a truly unique country, as it straddles the onset of progressive thought among youth, but is influenced heavily by more traditional (yes) middle-eastern values. And it is absolutely dependent on where you are in the country when you speak of the politics and cultural norms. Too many assume the north-west is…

My favorite was when he compared himself to the freedom riders.
"(Sidebar: Iggy is living proof that being in an interracial relationship or having mixed children or majoring in African-American studies does not vaccinate you against ignorance.)"
This is the first in a series called Sheroes & Zeroes, about the people who defined our year in culture in both…
This question could be answered with Google.
Yeah no. Eminem was, and continues to be, hated by feminists, conservatives, and black people (not that those three are mutually exclusive).
All press is good press? Tell that to Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, LeAnn Rhimes, etc. That's a stupid myth. If no one points out the problem with Iggy Azeala and her success then it will continue to happen. A fire doesn't go away by simply walking away from it. This article isn't criticizing every white person who performs…
I think Eric Clapton is too busy bro-ing down with his friends and cruising in his $4.7 mil Ferrari to give a damn about pleibeian issues....
Country is also rooted in black music, so Darius Rucker is where he belongs. Do you know there were also many black cowboys? Thanks for playing, though.
Vaguely remember watching a movie on BET I believe was depicting the early career of Little Richard. A good portion of the movie touched on the historical practice of music executives taking black music and redoing it with white artists sans attribution. This was the result of the majority white audience refusal to…
T.I. is an anti-black misogynist. He threatens to push down Azealia Banks down the stairs after he's attacked by her via social media, but when a man is involved, he gives his two cents respectfully. *eye roll*
Such selfishness isn't exactly Christian, is it? I also love how this attitude just assumes the wife will be okay, because women don't have sexual needs.
In addition to all the other dumb ass reasons, when gay men marry straight women it's selfish. They condemn a woman to the heartache and pain of being in a long term relationship with a partner who will never be attracted to them; which, rationalize all you like, is incredibly undermining of self confidence. It's one…
I am torn on this; I don't DISAGREE, but comments like this frighten me because it can so easily lead to demonizing of the mentally ill. I think specific nuances of his issues, background, and a definite diagnosis need to be made by a professional. Every mentally ill person is an individual, not a collective time bomb…
I think this man was mentally ill.
Typical mentally ill person with access to a gun.
No one is denying that sparky. They were also police officers who knew fully well getting shot is an occupational hazard, whereas getting murdered by the police for existing isn't an occupational hazard for black Americans despite what bigots would have you believe.
