Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.

You think this guy will embrace a teachable moment? You really think he doesn’t believe what he said? If he regrets saying what he said, he only regrets the result. The bully gets bullied. Fair game as far as I’m concerned. Karma’s a bitch.

Counterpoint: Public shaming may be the tool most appropriate to change not only his behavior, but that of the next racist.

“ I don’t actually think that a black female creative with a nonblack partner would even consider dampening her message for the sake of her partner’s feelings. Maybe it’s because most of the black women I know seem so steadfast in their resolve and dedication to blackness that a partner more or less has to fit into…

... I believe that the place in pop culture in which Donald Glover exists has never been occupied...

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?

It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…

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’m pretty sure they make more than $130K.

Seeing a black woman hate on Bruno Mars while using a Japanese handle that means “I love you” should be a textbook example of the word irony.

I hate that we’re even having this conversation. Miley Cirus and Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato and Katy Perry got away with actual appropriation. Miley might’ve been the worst offender in the history of mankind. She took from the culture, made it look like absolute trash, and then walked away from it when she got…

If you are on the internet in a situation where people you don’t know can see or hear you, you are in public, full stop.

People get in trouble in actual sports for using this language. Are we kidding?

It’ll get better but online gaming was its own toxic world for a long time, and really only recently is getting real levels of exposure. Still a lot of bad habits exist from the free-for-all days.

like a 1:10 ratio of positive esports stories to negative ones. It has to be a fundamental problem with the culture of competitive gaming.

Women run 100 m hurdles, men 110 m.

It took all of two months for Under Armour to realize the type of person Ussery was and fire him. There’s no way in hell Cuban and Mavs top brass were clueless after working with the guy for over 15 years.

No he didn’t.

Look at the photos taken by Apollo 17. [en.wikipedia.org]
