I mean why is The Rock THE MOST DELIGHTFUL HUMAN EVER.

..jeez, I’m always going to bat for the worst people. I must really be a glutton for punishment. Well, here goes. I feel like all the following are true:

I wish I could give you all the stars because I’m at the exact same point, like I honestly I think the reason that people insist these things are different is that to them it’s sacrilegious to question a trans person’s stated gender identity and they believe that cultural appropriation is wrong and if they can’t say…

I’m beginning to wonder if these companies just figure in these lawsuits as the cost of doing business and see the benefits of using songs outweighing the inevitable legal troubles. Beastie Boys had and still has a huge following and I wonder how much Monster drinks sold because of this song vs. the $1.7MM damages+…

I think this woman is mentally ill.

I guarantee you that you haven’t done one tenth of what she’s done for the black community. All your self-righteous screeching probably makes you feel good and gets you stars on kinja, but it amounts to really very little to real people suffering real problems.

Love love love the son

This is dumb as shit. There are many, many millions of black people who aren’t descended from slaves. Implying that all blacks are descended from slaves is dumber than the dumb shit this woman did.

You can’t be ‘transracial’ because you can’t be ‘trans’ anything. Before this debate, I had no idea how many people believed that hormones and sex reassignment surgery literally make a man into a woman or vice versa. The science does not back this up. Your best MRI neuroscience studies (read: modern phrenology) arn’t…

You do realize that the southern United States is not the only example of slavery in the history of the world, right?
