That’s all very nice. Now let’s turn our eyes to the people who aided and abetted him all of these years. MSU, we turn our lonely eyes to you.

I’ve always thought of it as a defense mechanism. Imagine you’re the first black president and throughout your entire presidency, people are throwing the most offensive racist shit at you. Then the loudest and most obnoxious of the whole incapable and embarrassing lot actually wins the election after you and does…

I think Luther needs some overtime.

Anne, I have to say that usually I love the depth and analysis of your writing, but this piece was just...there was something more personal to it for me that really resonated.

I read once about a mom who gave her teen daughter a cake to celebrate the first time she said “I hate you!” My daughters are 8 and 6, cake day is coming.

I’m looking forward to when Jezebel turns thirteen and wants nothing to do with us for the following five to seven years. And also when Jezebel gets blackout drunk on its sixteenth birthday and eggs Breitbart’s house.

the only thing these Blaxit stories have taught me is that the rest of the world has their issues with blackness, too.

That’s sweet.

I mean ... I do love the stale cheese popcorn in those terrible Christmas tins. This seems like an upgrade.

I remember going to an ugly Christmas sweater pub crawl way back in 2007. Part of the fun was trying to find the sweater. You had to troll every local Goodwill until you found an authentic ugly sweater, something that somebody thought looked good at the time.

Now all we need is the article on all the things people shoved up their asses this year and 2017 will be complete!

Repetition can get a yes, but that’s a coerced yes, and it’s fucked up. Women say yes because they just want the harassment to stop.

Ha, really, the percentages of men saying they didn’t realize any of this counts as harassment are probably pretty similar to the percentages of men committing it on a regular basis.

I kinda don’t buy it. They know. You know how I know they know? Because if that many people didn’t think this shit was wrong, they’d do it out in the open and not threaten their victims with retaliation if they open their mouths. These things are written into codes of conduct from fucking middle school to the work…

Bill Cosby has been married to the same woman for over 40 years.

If I ever learn that Fred Rogers was a pervert, my tenuous grasp on this world will snap.

Please not Colbert, indeed. He and Obama would destroy me. And maybe Mr. Rogers.

I’ve fucking had it up to here with all the people looking around incredulously, pretending to be stupefied that the word “Pocahontas” is now somehow off-limits. It’s not the word itself, you nitwits, and you damn well know it.

Acknowledgment of complicity / guilt can be a dodge in place of meaningful action, or it can be a first step followed by meaningful action. It’s the meaningful action that tells you something about the sincerity and intentions.

And if it even has the teensiest, tiniest hint of “poverty tourism” don’t. Just don’t do it, especially if you’re a white American. I see that shit all the time, especially with church groups coming down here on home-building mission trips (we’re a popular place for mission trips because we have gorgeous weather and…
