It’s almost as if there’s some sort of long history of white people pretending to be dark-skinned people for fun as a way of demeaning them, making this really insensitive at the very least or something.

I imagine the weight of a gun would make certain cheerleading moves rather difficult, if not impossible, but that’s the price we pay for freedom!

And they’re doing a ‘Zombies on a Plane’ spinoff miniseries. Seriously.

“Ben Carson knows how speak when he’s spoken to like he’s supposed to.”

I assume the Ben Carson solution would have been for all the cheerleaders to send him nudes at once...

What color do you think the skin of the people most likely to buy and wear this costume is going to be? And do you think the people marketing it aren’t aware of that?

My mother-in-law has lupus, unfortunately, and I’ve never heard of this before.

I’m glad we’re living in post-racism America or this would be worrying.

Incidentally, 12 years ago is about the time I closed my studio in Bloomington and moved out to L.A. to open one. We must have just missed each other. (I’m back in Indiana now, which is how I spent a little bit of time in your studio a year or two ago).

My apologies. That was what I was told by the people who were recording in your studio, or I misunderstood. I didn’t mean anything critical about it. I was just surprised it took you so long to put out an album when you already had a studio... and as a fellow (former) studio owner, it was a cool space.

Apart from the many, many gay people who have been attracted to the same gender for as long as they can remember and have never had any trauma like that.

Other than vaguely remembering reading the same thing, I’m afraid not.

I’m only surprised it took him this long. He took the profits from Lil’ Bub’s fame and built a recording studio out of it (he’s a friend of friends and I’ve been in it, but never seen Bub in person).

The point is it happened in the “City of Brotherly Love.”

Yes, black people seriously invented Ska. I’m not sure why you aren’t aware of that.

Why was voter ID unnecessary from 1776-2008?

I’m not a woman, genius.

No, just smart enough to recognize someone who’s really bad at trolling.

It’s cute how you went from “stop making it all about black people like you” to “you’re whitesplaining” as if those aren’t opposites.

...and therefore?
