ONCE AGAIN, FROM THE TOP:
No one ever says this about Frederick Douglass, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poiter, Henry Louis Gates, Quincy Jones, or James Brown. At point all of these Black men who championed or were a beacon for civil rights were dating/married to White women. So why don’t they get the same stank eye too?
I’m also not here for it, because i’m already seeing extra spicy takes about Glover having a white lover and interracial children. This all feels like Hotep bait and i’m not here for it. Celebrate the art. Celebrate the artist. Don’t worship any of these niggas, you’ll be disappointed.

I do know a shitload of people who hated him for constantly and pretty obviously faking it because he figured out that the audience found it endearing when someone lost it. Nothing about it looked natural when he did it. He even sometimes would look directly into the…

Hi Taylor!!!
People: read the links in the story before you pass judgment. If you want a quick overview...
THANK YOU. Aside from the blatant inaccuracy of calling these activists “white kids” (and, yes, I see the P.S. that was added by the author and am not impressed—do better, Root), it’s worth acknowledging that these are teens.
