She’s not exactly flaunting her royalty afforded ease and it sounds like she’s pretty hands on. Not sure reading into things is appropriate. I mean, what is normal? I’m pretty certain there are multiple degrees of normal (agreed, princess /= normal). And though she had major major privledge, sounds likes she’s pretty…

Because there’s no racism in New York and LA? DC or Philly? It’s not just hayseeds being dicks.

I can understand. The New York-centrism of the (formerly) Gawker sites can get a little tiresome to those of us who don’t live there. But that’s where, and who, most of the writers are, I guess.

I do. I don’t live in New York or California and I am not a crazy racist lady. I didn’t make the statement, just tried to interpret it for someone who I thought misunderstood the intent.

Yeah, that was a record-scratch moment for me. Preeeeety sure that racist assholes aren’t just a flyover state problem.

Um, not everyone who lives on the coasts lives in New York or California, but sure.

She is 100% correct. I remember well the way slavery, lynchings and the KKK all popped into existence the second Obama was sworn in. Clearly the man is evil!

“nice reminder for those of us that live on the coasts that every single person should get to the fucking polls and vote.”

Yep, had that damned song in my head as soon as I read the headline. In my defense, I was 14 when I learned it. And yet...there it is.

Nah.

I have a scratch on the back my hand from Hiro.
