“Make as many excuses as you’d like, but there is a difference between how the media covers attacks against mostly-Muslim civilians vs non-Muslim ones.”

“I’d die.”

His example is ridiculously stupid, but I do agree that discrimination can go in all directions. I think this modern notion that “real” racism is only possible when it’s committed by a group in power against groups that aren’t in power is absurd. Sure, institutional racism is almost always targeted at non-white groups…

“I saw the movie when I was a kid.”

I think part of it is that Cinderella and Jungle Book aren’t nearly as beloved, or widely seen, to a modern audience as Beauty and the Beast. So, Beauty and the Beast has a pretty high standard to meet right off the bat. I saw the movie. It was fine. The animated movie is better, but this isn’t bad. This movie is…

Am I the only person who has never really cared that much about accents, unless the movie is a biography or some sort of historical event? For fantasy films, I just don’t really care if the characters have a weird mish-mash of accents. I mean, in the animated film some of them just had blatant American accents. Who…

“YOu could argue this is them doing a version of that again, bringing their Beauty and the Beast story to the next generation.”

Tell that to Disney’s accountants.

“The media absolutely does focus on stupid shit in the hopes that it riles him. It DOES rile him, but it’s not enough to make his followers believe he’s unhinged.”

Yes! This is what we should be focusing on. Our obsession with who celebs voted for is overblown. I don’t think most people actually care that much. It’s much more important to hold people in the press and government accountable when it comes to calling out Trump. Especially when it comes to real issues and policies.…

Yep! At best, they’re a distraction, and at worst they come across as preachy. Most people don’t give a shit about what candidate celebs support (and they shouldn’t).

“But as Nick Pinto at the Village Voice points out, State Street itself has only three women on its own 11-member board of directors, a total of just 28 percent.”

“Honestly I wonder if this qualifies as borderline pedophilia.”

he’s a white guy, so yeah.

Yeah, if a similar question was lobbed at a female actress on a press tour, it would be condemned.

I responded to that directly, so I don’t think you are understanding what I’m saying. My point is that voting was down across the board, in part, because the candidates themselves were so underwhelming. Vote totals is directly tied to how engaging/attractive/whatever voters found the candidates to be. So, if people…

Well, millennials still don’t vote as much as other groups. So, in a way, it is partially on us.

That doesn’t mean that people weren’t underwhelmed by Clinton. It just means that they were also underwhelmed by Trump as well. If the Democrats had a more engaging and attractive candidate, support would have been higher.

“Do not pin HRC’s loss on the Democratic base, made up predominately of people of color.”

Doesn’t Iran still ban Israelis?
