I’m tired of slave movies, too. We only get kudos when presenting a racial struggle. It’s frustrating. I loved the movie Creed— Ryan Coogler presented a thoughtful, nuanced, beautifully made picture, and the weakest thing about it was Sylvester Stallone as Rocky. I can’t stand blood sport . . . and yet I was…

I view Zosia as a somewhat “unknown quantity”. She seems pretty talented and she certainly can inhabit a character. Shosh could be a one dimensional, screeching, easily tuned out, walk on of a character but she’s given her heart, and dignity. Of all the Girls I see less Zosia/more Shosh. I can’t say that for the rest.…

Same. I’m not a fan of his music in the slightest, but I can acknowledge what he's trying to do here is miles beyond any other white artists who've appropriated black art forms to great wealth and accolades.

It depends on how we view his success. Mainstream airplay and Grammys (never a good barometer of good music) is one thing. But like you say, he’s never been embraced by the more knowledgeable rap community. I’d argue that his mainstream success is more a function of his bland-but-cute popness, not his whiteness; in…

I mean sure-we all get a little upset when down graded. I get that it’s really hard for her to be moved from the best seat to the second best. But it IS hard to sympathize with her as when I’m downgraded from MY seat, I have to hang on to the wing, screaming, like some sort of nightmare at 20 thousand feet.

I can’t tell if “tourist class” is the funniest or most offensive thing I’ve ever heard.

I played hockey for my college’s club team. During a game against Southern Illinois my teammate slid to block a slap shot. The shot was a rocket aND it hit like a guided missile right in the nuts. I was on the bench at the time, but even I heard a loud CRACK when it hit. My teammate stayed down, and we were all…

I don’t know. How could I be in the bathroom at a Metric concert and in a hammock simultaneously?

I remember when we lived in a world where words meant something. These aren’t milkshakes, they are ice cream sundaes. Ice cream sundaes are delicious, but milk shakes they are not.

Think real hard about whether that fact actually undermines the OP’s point.

Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

way to backdoor brag that you have a bf.

Waiting on the Clinton video of her running around a track with Nike apparel from head to toe.

Anne Hathaway: “Not sure why you’re all hating on JLaw. Remember me? I’m waaaaaaay more annoying.”

There are documentaries made about how the CJS has fucked over black people. Murder on a Sunday Morning won an Oscar and is fantastic, Central Park Five is on Netflix, and though 3½ Minutes, Ten Bullets is more about police brutality, it is also about how stand your ground usually only applies to white men.

Because it would have downplayed her culpability in the crimes.

I’m not getting the feeling she’s endorsing it obviously. But let’s call a spade a spade. This is revenge porn and should be called as such in the article in my opinion.

I don’t think Clover believes this was a good move on her part. I don’t know, maybe I’m reading more sarcasm written in there than you, but that’s how I interpreted it.

Exactly. Quite surprised by the editorial slant here. I mean yes cheating sucks. But revenge porn is awful.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU THROUGH THE SOUND OF ME GOBBLING DOWN ALL THESE NOTHING BURGERS.
