“If a female were to do drag, it loses the irony.”

As the person on Jezebel who had a problem with Amber Tamblyn’s tweets, I wanted to respond to this. I was pretty bothered by both her tweet and the responses to it, but white women are never wrong right?
Maybe I live in a bubble, but most of the people I’ve seen speaking out about Tamika Mallory’s association with…

And most Jewish people are with you on that. The Zionist Settlements issue is being described as the Vietnam war of Israeli culture. A LOT of people are against it, here and there. It is unfair to group Jews all together on that issue. And NOI and Farrakhan do, as do a lot of people. Look at the US, a majority of us…

Article about how and why drag kings are undervalued....comments from people saying “I read the article but yeah I do undervalue drag kings and their performances make me uncomfortable and that’s that!”

I always found Metal culture to be hyper masculine to the point of parody. Performers like Rob Halford or Rob Zombie seem to enjoy taking the piss out of the “doom-and-gloom” and hyper-violence that seems inherent in modern day masculinity. Does that play and role in drag king performances cause if it does, I need to…

Thank you for saying this. I am not biracial, but I have felt for a long time that that particular identity was the one being harmed the most by her nonsense. But it seems like no one is bringing it up. Even when Ijoema Oluo interviewed her last year she didn’t mention that she can’t access her real whiteness as a…

The OP’s premise is still true, like you said, regardless of the reasons for letting go of players.

Responding to bump up and because I agree. I grew up in North Idaho where everyone was white. Literally the only people of color in my high school were foreign exchange students. I live in the big city now and work in a diverse company. I love being around people of different backgrounds and I like learning about how…

I’m not sure that the people calling a Drag King show, “Less Interesting,” have ever even seen a Drag King show. I’ve been to several and have been deeply moved by them. Captivated. Completely in awe of their energy and the raw emotion in their performances. One show in particular, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, several…

MMHM. I get sick of people thinking I’m 20-something and it being a compliment. Because what comes next is, “At your level of your career, just starting out...” No, ass! I’m at a higher level in my career than you!

When she was first “outed” as white, my (white) best friend thought it was all so hilarious. “Oh, she’s harmless. She just wants to be black/really loves black culture, no big deal.” But, nah. I was pissed, and still am every time her dumbass pops back up. IMO, this is an ultimate exercise of her white privilege.

Tangentially related. A while back while watching the Today show with Tamron and Al’s hour they were asked to guess some celebrities age they always get Black people and Asians nearly a decade younger than they actually are. I realized that Hollywood is so whitewashed that the whole concpet of what someone looks like…

Again with this. I will say it till somebody hears me. AN “INCLUSIVE” PROJECT WILL ALWAYS BE A TRASHFIRE IF THERE ARE ONLY WHITE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.

I think pretty much everyone who watches this show is going to be gawkers who want to see just how fucked up and annoying this person is. However, by taking it up Netflix is bringing her story back to life instead of just letting it and its scary implications blow over.

I don’t see any part of this being funny at all.. and now a documentary about it? The notion that one - especially a white woman - could just up and declare herself a black woman is extremely insulting to black women, and the overall history of black women throughout the diaspora. How did this joke get this far? I…

“Jamie Foxx (2004): real life singer who battles drug addiction and has affairs”

and I’m still in the damn grey! Leave me alone Jeze-Root!

Non-Glamorous = Mammy

Huh. I always figured rich people were greedier than they were racist. Kinda shocking that no one has snatched up the better players while they could.

What do the owners think is gonna happen? The cat’s out of the bag. Do they think newer generations, with more access to information and more direct contact through social media, are gonna just shut up and toe the line?
