Are these like Incels? What so we call them? Urkels? Blincels?BlackChaps?

If you think a rapist has a particular “look,” you’ve missed the entire point of #metoo.

Michael has a gift for using language that is simultaneously smart as hell AND will have you laughing so hard at your desk that your co-workers think you’re either crazy or choking.

I will never not be amazed by your ability to come up with even more hilarious insults for the people too stupid to understand your writing.

Nah, there are honestly black dudes who feel like The Root is orchestrating an coordinated attack on the straight black male by, like, calling them out on their toxic bullshit, their disdain for black women, their ignorance towards LGBTQ people, and generally speaking on their dumbass hotepery for the miserable pile…

Sorry for the confusion— I meant advocate in the general sense, not as a legal/professional advocate.

no.

Yep, I was just coming in to comment this, too. He’s OBVIOUSLY Woody Allen’s kid. No Sinatra DNA whatsoever. Mmhmm. None.

I was coming here only to comment this. This picture really emphasizes it. I cannot see one bit of Woody Allen in him.

Sure we knew it— but he used his privilege/writing/access to put it out there in a way that suddenly people started to care. I’m not going to turn down any champions or advocates who can have that impact.

Don’t forget, he’s lived this with his “father” who is one of Hollywood’s worst abusers. His childhood was hell. Few believed his sister. Those who did, failed to protect her. Fortunately for Ronan, he made it through better than some of his siblings. I admire the fact that he’s taking his pain to help other victims…

I really don’t understand that line of thinking. Why are these comments so prevelent with him specifically? It’s like someone commented it years ago, before his investigative work, and it was parroted by a few people until the next Farrow-related article came out some indeterminable time later, and those few people…

Yeah if he’s using his privilege for good than I’m ok with that, better than going the “Instagram model” route all the white privileged kids seem to be doing, like every single famous white person’s kids are freakin models. I like seeing a person who actually works hard and acquires real skills.

Nobody will ever convince me he’s not Sinatra’s kid. He’s the spitting image ...

this. right. here. fam. The American idea of Blackness, one bestowed upon us by Whites, firstly as negroes, coloreds, and now as “the blacks”, continues to try to simplify the Black American experience under one uniform umbrella. We should spend more time accepting and celebrating our differences based on region and…

Stop. Talking about things that affect POC’s lives like the fact that we are inherently different and treated as such is in no way equal to the bigotry of white nationalists.

I came expecting to see a pic with a room full of white guys, looked at that pic and got excited that there were so many women and persons of color. Then I made the mistake of reading what the criticism was actually about and promptly remembered why I hate humans of the internetz.

My dad’s family has the best Mexican cookouts ever. Never miss one!! I don’t know about all Latinx cookouts, but the old people dancing at the Mexican ones to some Chente, that is the shit.
