So true. Finally, white people are getting their due - on tv & in politics.

situating a diverse ensemble around a white character will help make the show more palatable to viewers across color lines,

Lee Daniels is not very bright and not very fond of Black women. I mostly ignore his dumb ass.

they’re horrendous on her guardian articles, still. sigh. society, pull it together, i beg you.

Not as heavy the shadow cast by the superior Roxane Gay, whose shadow Lindy continues to live in.

Yup. Lindy West has a well known history even outside of the Gawker community of being a target of vicious harassment. I’m not in the least surprised or offended that she’s written off comment sections entirely.

Seriously? Commenters ARE horrible quite a lot of the time—even here. Can you really blame her?

How long have you been carrying that chip on your shoulder? It seems heavy.

ME TOO. Have you read Shrill? It’s so great.

So cool! Still miss Lindy around here.

I worked at McDonald’s at the time, and people would order freedom fries all the time. I was working at McDonald’s to pay for my trip to France with my French club. It was a weird year.

Some dumbfuck at my then-workplace had posted some flyer about “boycott France.” I was tempted to show up to work in a striped French sailor shirt and beret, with a baguette and a wheel of Camembert in a string bag, singing the Marseillaise (way off key, cuz I can’t sing) at the top of my lungs.

We’ve been laughing at these idiots for years, but it’s not funny anymore.

I, for one, will willingly consume as much pizza as necessary to make a bold political statement against such dangerous idiocy. I feel that it’s my duty, just as it was with French fries. In fact, I think I’ll go order one right now.

For any Jezzies in the DC area, please consider coming out and supporting Comet. My family was there Saturday, less than 24-hours before this idiot walked in with an AR-15 assault rifle. We were with friends and their child, supporting this beloved local business...and now we will be going there every damn week to…

Watching animals eat is all I am going to do for the next four years.

YOUR MOM'S A DISNEY FILM PERHAPS

You guys...Lindy is joking. The hyperbole is for the sake of comedy. You're still allowed to like the trash that is Love Actually. You needn't sharpen the pitchforks against the lady who just brought cock bloctopus into to Lexicon. That would be wrong.
