No, I’m not mad. I’m not surprised either. I wouldn’t imagine that you’re the kind of person who would have much of a sense of humor. I tried arguing with people like you here on the Post-Kinja A.V. Club but it became utterly tiresome, so I decided I’d go in the other direction and just have fun with it. You know,…

Did you flag my comment?

Who? I can’t think of any black artists with credibility.

See, now if the student had been armed he could have shot the fragments out of the air before they hit him. I say not only should we arm teachers but also the students. More guns = a safer America. It’s common sense.

We need sources, Angelo.

That’s an interesting typo in your last sentence and to be honest, I can’t say that I disagree.

You consider working class white people to be trash? Also, what does privilege have to do with tv viewing preferences?

Hopefully not. Mexican actors are the worst.

Got it. Can I ask you some more questions about your position on this issue?

I’m not trying to put forth an argument. I’m simply trying to understand you as a person. I’m perplexed by you, I must admit. Do you really believe what you’re saying or do you just enjoy stirring up shit in the comments section? 

I have a lot of great memories of Mom & Pop video stores in the 80s. One of my favorites was in the back of an auto repair shop. Luckily I had an uncle who would let me rent whatever I wanted (horror movies with lots of gore and lots of boobs).

rec, ol’ buddy, are you trolling us? You present yourself almost as a caricature of an uber-leftist “SJW” that those MAGA assholes like to rant about. I can tell that you’re a bright person but a lot of your comments appear to be extraordinarily illogical. What’s the deal?

Where I’m from that’s called “preaching to the choir”.

“to have to”? Yes. Let the artists make art. Again, David Byrne is the wrong person to call out on this. Choose your battles.

assuming he’s sincere about including more female collaborators in future line-ups

Anyone who knows David Byrne’s history of collaborating with women (and people of color) in music knows that he really has nothing to apologize about on that front. I understand why he apologized but I wish he hadn’t.

Today I learned: Voltron is the Saved By The Bell of anime.

Thank you friend.

I’m 44 but I was drunk from about 1996 through 2003 so I missed a lot.
