Its called a performance for the masses. It happens all the time. Black artists may tone down their ethnicity and their culture for the sake of mass consumption. Apologize for anything that might offend the majority culture. If you look at the performance, I think ALL THE DANCERS were Black. And depending on the…

That’s nice, but nobody cares.

Just watch this instead.

Not to be rude but it's not an uncommon thing in black households so all of this OMG-ing about it is coming off weird.

Chance The Rapper looks like Mario and Luigi’s new partner, 3.

Dear Dr Stein,

I hope Mellie somehow slaps him. And he ends up Sally’s talk show.

Dear people on my Facebook feed: If you are boycotting Walmart because of how it treated one police officer and not how it treats millions of employees; if you are boycotting the NFL because it tacitly supports not standing for the anthem and not because it tacitly supports rape, domestic violence and traumatic brain…

I wish idiots upset over Kaepernick not standing for the Star-Spangled banner got as upset over institutionalized racism and sexism.

right? like, curse this contract that obligates me to read every single one!!!!

This whole “not acting poor enough” Victorian assholery is so gross.

So very many people don’t live in cities, or maybe work hours when the buses and trains are not running. I lived in a fancy neighborhood when I was a waitress at a diner because my mom let my husband and I rent her house for $100/mo., should I have lived some where less fancy for more money for appearances sake?

“I have access to a car, but it would be poor judgement to drive that car when I could use public transportation!” Is essentially what you just said.

Sorry, I couldn’t make out what you were saying, your voice was muffled by Bette Midler’s ass-cheeks.

The comments on this article may be the most disgusted I’ve ever been by the Jezebel commentariat. This is . . . upsetting.

But phony in what way? What do you mean by phony? That she’s faking being trans? Cause if so...that’s transphobic.

i can’t believe how everyone is speaking over you right now.

I wish I could star your posts 1000 times more. I’m really surprised at all the comments defending middler (although I guess I shouldn’t be). Her non-apology makes it worse, in my opinion. “Sorry I said something you found offensive and not funny” is not an apology and shows zero remorse or awareness.

This is true. And not what Bette Midler displayed. Misgendering, using a “dead” name, and implying someone transitioned for kicks/fame/money is not respectful.

Why is no one talking about Bat Dance?!! I actually loved that song.
