I mean, I addressed, substantively, your point (I didn’t dismiss it, you are misinterpreting disagreement as dismissal). If you wanted to have a discussion about race, well, we could be having that discussion right now. Instead, you have chosen to ignore that discussion and instead focus on your perception of my…

Like, yeah, snark, not genuine offense or outrage. I mean, I can understand getting upset with Jezebel’s snark about something serious, but in this case, their snark is over a dumb pun Biden made. That seems an appropriate target for snark!  The entire point of a dad joke like Biden made is to induce eye rolling, and…

Anger?  Rage?  What are you even talking about?  Why are you trying to divert a discussion about race in America into one about your perception of my mood?  Do you want to have a discussion about race, like you said, or would you rather just police my attitude?

Cool. Enjoy the rest of your miserable life taking offense to every perceived affront to your inflated white boy ego.

I’m not sure what “poorly contrived” even is supposed to mean, but whatever it means there is a difference between that and actual offense. 

Lol, so you recognize it as “mock” and yet...?

Are you even capable of recognizing joy?

Exactly what is it about this snarky ass post that you think betrays offense in any way?  I wonder if you even get the irony of implying the author is humorless...

Yeah, “I wouldn’t have said as many mean things about Trump” always seemed like a questionable campaign message for a Democratic primary candidate in 2020.

bro...

incredible comment.

We’ve been having a conversation about race since before the founding of the country, and I’m not aware of any point in time, anywhere, where white people were not intimately involved in that discussion, and in fact central to it.  And now is no different.  Maybe don’t take every turn of phrase so fucking literally.

your grandmother sucked

I would say she made her point pretty strongly, considering that she provoked this sort of reaction from Kweli! I don’t think there is a way of making a “drama-free” point about this.

I mean, Moody made a glib, passing remark, one that didn’t actually say “those women are less black.” Kweli accused her of having said that in the middle of a, frankly, unbelievable campaign of harassment against her. So, yeah, I agree you could read her tweet as saying that. That’s why I’m willing to give you the…

I read it as pointing out that even where rappers aren’t marrying white women, they are still marrying lighter-skinned black women. I don’t read it as saying those lighter-skinned black women aren’t really black, I read it as pointing out that even where rappers marry black women their choices still seem to be…

All things considered, the original tweet is way besides the point, but I have to take a bit of issue with:

Lol, I’ve always loved that lyric, mostly because it is so on-brand for Kanye as an egocentric asshole.

Okay. I don’t think Ellen is sifting through resumes for interns, and I’m sure she delegates routine hiring and firing decisions, particularly for lower level staffers. But ultimately, she in the position to be the final word on all of that. Complaints about people contributing to a toxic workplace culture, and…
