Why is it so hard for people to understand that productivity does not necessarily mean one must work longer hours.

Clover, I like Amy Schumer and Hannibal Buress, but isn’t there a code of journalistic ethics that requires you to disclose when you’re shilling for Comedy Central?

Okay, without leaping into the broader question of whether Amy mocks racists or is racist: White people of Jezebel, you have to stop telling POC they shouldn’t be offended. Seriously. Stop. Please.

So Tosh is just portraying a stupid guy who tells rape jokes in his act... I’ll remember that when Jezzies get angry at him and other male comedians.

Jezebel’s hypocrisy when it comes to this woman is astounding. They would have written 5 articles by now if Tosh had made a half-assed apology about his disgusting jokes.

Jez not covering the Amy Schumer racist story was ridiculous, I know this is a white feminism site on the whole but come on. Amazing how commentators on here where using he same exact lines men do to defend sexist stand ups.

Oh yes lets all talk about that recent controversy which has not been mentioned on here until that small mention in this article. What happened is that people called her out for her racist jokes such as, “I used to date Hispanic guys, but now I prefer consensual.”, she dismissed it as having a blind spot on racism and

Equal pay isn’t just a feminist issue though, if your not a white man you aren’t getting fair pay. when you bring race into you see the whole picture, which on here people like to ignore race because it shows that white women make more than Black, Hispanic and Native Men.

So I’ll get my pr people to call your pr people and we’ll organise a party for instagram. Don’t worry, Ill have photographers and filter pros on hand. Do you know any black girls? We need at least one at the party so I don’t look racialist.

Meh, I’m Canadian, but the site is American and this is America’s happy day. People can start alternate discussions as they like.

“You’re responding on the post like Dunham forced Malia to be her intern.”

According to some on Jezebel I, a black woman, am supposed to be happy for a young black girl who is working for a known racist and an overall shitty human being. Hilarious.

I never thought I would say this in relation to race, but...

You’d think that as much as they like to latch on to discussions jumping off on the internets in poc spaces they’d have at least grazed through ontd.

Interesting that no one on Jezebel has mentioned the Amy Schumer racist controversy.

Gawker Media is being paid by Comedy Central / NBC /Universal to promote Amy Schumer, Jimmy Fallon, et. al. It is not illegal in the sense that Gawker is not a publicly-funded company, like Public Radio or something, but it is extremely unethical and it is quite obvious what is going on. And as you point out they

Are you going to adress her racism?

As an African American, I do not applaud the fall of Affirmative Action. I’m glad that black people have the opportunity to go to any college they want instead of being limited to historical black colleges.

I’m a white atheist, but I was sobbing by the end of that, hoping against hope that Rev. Pinckney and his flock found their heavenly reward.

It literally uses faux outrage to deflect from the substantive commentary.
