Yes, but white trash is still white. There’s still a possibility that white trash person can get some money/education/give up drugs and be middle-class and leave their “subhuman” status behind. It doesn’t matter how educated I am, or how much money I have. I’m still a brown person and subhuman to the majority of…
I wish I could share your optimism that extrajudicial murders would be meted out equally by race. But my experience as a non-drug user who gets harassed more often than my drug-using white friends leads me to think that I’d probably get shot before them.
The thing is, Madonna — and we — will never know how should would have been received had she aged naturally. I don’t begrudge her what she has done; it’s her life and her skin suit. But it’s weird to say you will be criticized for aging, when she didn’t really allow herself to “age,” as we understand the concept.
I’m saying that before a single white meth head dies at the hands of these hitmen, a large number of black, Latino and Muslim “suspected” drug dealers and users will be killed first. And most of us Latinos are suspected drug dealers/users/rapists etc... according to Trump, who fucking won on that idea. I know white…
If you think that people treat white people the same as they treat people of color, you are extremely naive and ill-informed.
The lady who babysat me was a big fan of soap operas. As a result, everyone in my family had to have a talk with 4-year-old me about why it was not appropriate for me to try to kiss them “Like Luke kisses Laura.” Such fun.
I own seasons 1&2 of DC. Might be time for a rewatch after I finish watching west wing for the first time while simultaneously watching Gilmore girls from the beginning. (Yes, I think it is 2001)
Thank you for reminding me that Joshua Jackson is sexy, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Man I’m a little embarrassed but this is the sound of my 80s childhood. My aunt was weirdly obsessed with the California Raisins and would get us tons of little Raisins toys for our stockings and we’d watch the Christmas special on tape every year. Goddamn that was a weird cultural phenomenon.
But the general popularity of an artist doesn’t necessarily correspond to the popularity of their Christmas songs. Christmas music preferences are often driven by nostalgia and the music that surrounded us when adults controlled the box.
Respectfully I also submit The Temptations version of “Silent Night”.... It’s not Christmas until I hear it!!!
You most probably have—on a commercial, blaring from a car stereo, in a store. You just didn’t know it was him. He’s been putting out music for 2 decades, and is very mainstream, so it would be hard to have absolutely never heard a snippet of a Jay-Z song.
But this isn’t “pop culture”: this is a seasonal standard in the African-American community. It’s as much “pop culture” as “White Christmas” is.
I cracked up but I seem to be the only person who did... Well as a black woman in a country where I feel betrayed I’ll take my laughs where I can
And they taste awful, blehhh
I fucking love the sitcom Reba and I’m not even embarressed about it. It’s not “quality”, per se, but she’s a gem.
Oh, on top of being this bothered, if you read reviews and yet still don’t know anything about the show, it definitely, definitely isn’t for you.
If you’re so bothered by Stanfield’s actions that they would keep you from watching a show in which he has a supporting role, you definitely would not like Atlanta.
