I assume he was joking.  I’ve seen Nicole Kidman in line at a coffee shop and she had to wait like everyone else.

Okay so all of your comments indicate that you don’t understand what privilege is or means, and there’s not really use carrying on this conversation when you lack understanding of the basic vocabulary. You can continue this conversation if you like but until you pick up a book I won’t be continuing. Thanks.

Maybe, I don’t know. I would still think it was mean and unnecessary.  

“but i wish we could just bring back ‘he’s got an asshole face so he’s an asshole’ instead of handwringing all this moral nonsense.”

Yeah Chet Hanks is a complete fucking idiot in every aspect of his life. But that’s not the same as courting a racist audience for ticket sales (and also because you believe in racism).

“much people who write for and read the AV Club”

smdh

I’ll have to take your word on that as I didn’t follow the show. I still don’t think that  “punching” anyone was necessary for her to do at that time when she could have just said “I didn’t think my work this season was worthy of consideration.”

True!

Does it? The fact that some white people still can’t cope despite their privilege doesn’t mean they don’t have privilege. If you put a Black person and a white person in the exact same circumstances, the white person is still in a better position due to that privilege. Having privilege doesn’t mean that your life is…

You jest a little bit, but this is actually the truth, I’d argue!  It’s similar to who white slaveowners taught enslaved people the Bible but left out the parts about the Hebrews escaping from slavery, and wouldn’t let them learn how to read.  Denying them hope of freedom was one of the ways they tried to keep them…

Yes, you “merely” pointed out that one thing. I’m asking you why you stopped at that one thing and determined that privilege for white men doesn’t exist.  Have you spent any time looking into the other factors I mentioned?

This is a frabjous day indeed.  I’ll be following this news!

I mean...why did you stop at suicide/opioid addiction stats? Also look up wealth, property ownership, C-level jobs, college admissions/legacy scholarships, imprisonment rates...  You just stopped at the first one that you thought helped you justify the forming of white identity groups?   Why did you do that?

Omg please I could cry if this is true!

And Homicide: Life on the Street!

Number 1 should obviously be Homicide: Life on the Street, which is not on streaming anywhere precisely because of how boss the soundtrack was. Second place: 1980s drama Rags to Riches.

Not entirely related but I learned that some people thought of June that they were seeing “too many rainbows.”  How miserable a person do you have to want to be if even rainbows make you angry?

“celebration of fly white boys”

I mean, not to be rude, but I think it’s a frankly ridiculous pronouncement to make that she didn’t mean it was bad material and I don’t know how anyone could make it with a straight face. Hence: lol.
