Agreed - but I think the snarking on the lack of acknowledgment of any culture other than white southern lady is totes legit.

But EVERYONE KNOWS the south is the only place with a racist past and present.

I find it interesting that with all these girls putting together these The South 2015, brands or whatever, they’re always cutting out black people. As if black people don’t live in the south/ haven’t contributed greatly to southern culture in its current landscape. #sippintea

I really don’t think she is. :(

It’s so fucking full of shit it’s unreal. I mean really, if I don’t know what I’m talking about, I shut the fuck up. He should have done that.

No, I’m pretty sure that was Natasha, who is equally as terrible.

LOL, bless your heart, you tried.

This statement is so embarrassingly untrue. Maybe you don’t like hiphop, so you never ever see it performed. I can’t for the life of me understand how you could say this otherwise.

I think it’s for the same reason no one really points out that hero teen Lorde was dating a 24 year old man when she was 16 (they’re still dating) or calls the guy she’s with a predator, when it’s all gross. There’s enough gross to go around.

Um, Karyn, would you like to address the “chicken wings” comment? People are not amused. Would you like to explain why you didn’t just mention it like you would mention anything else, but had to put that “cough” business in there? I mean, we know exactly what you meant, but please do try to explain yourself.

I just replied to another comment about that. As I said there I'm assuming she's not a garbage person but this was absolutely not the way to go about trying to report something without being stereotypical and racist about it.

I mean I don’t have anything against her personally though I’ve side-eyed a few dirt bags so far. But this? This is ridiculous. I mean, I’m gonna assume (and hope) she’s not a horrible racist garbage person but you can’t negate a stereotype by making an awkward joke about it. You either mention it with no comment bc…

I’m doing a bad job of choosing to ignore your weird black people/chicken wings joke.

chicken wings (cough)

Same reason guys like Bill Murray, Chuck Sheen, Nicky Cage, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Michael Fassbender are?

(People won’t, though. I mean, look at that list.)

Jesu! Why so much hate? May the perfect feminist plz stand up! It kills some people that this WOC keeps slaying and winning. Let the spotless warrior cast the first stone. Some of the comments on Jezebel sometimes are so coded with racist/pathetic vernom that I stop clicking on some posts. Get a grip people. She is…

I can't wait to hear the apologists reasons for why this cop is completely justified in 1.) feeling a citizen up & 2.) destroying evidence of his illegal grope-fest by destroying another citizens property

This sums up the problem neatly. Rather than address the growing number of complaints about police brutality or misbehavior, they choose to go after innocent citizens who are lawfully filming them, using made up laws about it being illegal.

According to NBC 4, dozens of New Yorkers filed complaints last year charging that NYPD officers physically lashed out at citizens for attempting to film police confrontation, despite the fact that it is fully legal to film the police.
