And while we’re on the subject of Dubai, why didn’t W (or Wendy, for that matter) try to get to the bottom of what she’s been doing there?

I think with her, not only was she the talent (more visual to the audience) but I personally felt a “come on girl, YOU should know better”, but the more I heard her speak, I realized either she really didn’t know better or really didn’t care.

Talk about not aging well, check out this video of highlights from Pot Psychology with Tracie and Rich. In which Rich responds to a question from a trans woman about how to handle the subject of her anatomy on a date by laughing hysterically at the idea of a woman with a penis.

There’s our T-shirt of the week!

They didn’t start well. I once emailed the site editor about how appalling I thought an article Tracie had posted was (it was about how “annoying” she thinks men with eating disorders are) and the editor actually CC’d in Tracie so they could both yell at/talk down to me. I didn’t read the site for YEARS after that.

Oh gawd. Tracie’s comments on this article give a great sense of what an unprofessional douche she was. Last I heard she’d been fired from Broadly for unprofessional conduct. Getting fired from a VICE subsidiary for being unprofessional is quite a trick.

Yes, it’s primarily the casting, but Zoe should have had the good god given sense to turn that down and know why.

I can’t remember the exact details but basically MizJenkins was a commenter who disagreed with or criticized Tracie Egan Morrissey in some way so she banned her from commenting at all (this was pre-kinja so the system was different). It’s been almost ten years so I can’t remember what the fight was about but I went…

I’m right there with you. The lack of self awareness on this website from some writers is alarming.

When was that white trophy wife trope started? Before or after Robert Palmer’s Addicted to love?

Sir, Black men are the sole reason Iggy Azalea has a career, so please take a seat. Thank you. 

Speak the truth, and don’t hold back! I am particularly pissed at how Hip Hop culture (rap music/video in particular) has compounded the colorism issue. It’s no surprise that hardly ANY Rap star is married to a dark-skin black woman - from Kendrick Lamar onwards, it’s right there in your face. They say love is blind,…

Ok, Michael, you know I love your writing, but I am not certain the object of this piece. I do not think it’s in dispute AT ALL that white people did this. The whole “house nigger v. field nigger syndrome” that created this sad phenomenon in the black community OF COURSE was started with white male slave owners, who…

Honestly If Beyonce was dark skin, she would be some one who was black famous, with white artists just ripping her off. There would would be a white version of her, (like how rita ora tried to be rihanna) and the rita ora version of her would be insanely successful.

White. People. Did. That.

i ALWAYS wonder this. like, at first glance i think “wow amazing it must be so beautiful and wonderful to live there” and then about three seconds later i realize how nice a little bungalow would be, with like a nice-ass bathroom and bright shiny paint on all the walls and filled with all the cool things i’ve gotten…

Honestly, any property pried away from the Church is fine with me.

White. People. Did. That.

Agreed. Why not use half that space and have that much more room between you and the neighbours?

I just don’t understand those estates. Like what are the odds she’s even been in every room? What is every room for? Why do I have to walk halfway across the house to get to my en suite bathroom? It’s all just so damn wasteful and unnecessary.
