This really sums up, without hyperbole, how bad this article is.

I’m deeply uncomfortable with this take, insofar as it can be called a take. What is your central thesis here? That this person (who I’ve never heard of) is, indeed, some kind of racist or white supremacist?

I hate to tell you this but: you don’t have any evidence of that.

And this is the top story when you open up this website.

Did he participate in a beauty pageant when he was 19 or something?

As a great admirer of the Smiths and his early solo work, I take no pleasure in saying that yes, Morrissey has demonstrated time and again that he is a racist prick and he deserves to be shunned. Unlike Ellie Kemper, you hacks.

This is a beautiful cake with flawless logic behind it. It saddens me that this child’s school counselors will fear her sense of humor and suggest that she be put in therapy.

To really sell it, it could use some of that red icing pooling under Mufasa’s head.

hitler, mel gibson, dog the bounty hunter, Mr Ed, and Ellie Kemper.

Can we please stop doing this? Let’s absolutely challenge people on modern racist behavior, but this whole “Dredging up people’s sordid past” nonsense is EXACTLY why people hate the political Left right now

Tatiana, I see you are becoming the pageant Queen of hot take shitty blog posts.  

Since her family is loaded, they probably have top shelf attorneys on retainer to sue you into the stone age for libel.

Just an absolute goddamned embarrassment of an article. Fucking pathetic. I know some of you reeeeeeally want a fresh race war today, but Ellie needs an apology here.

What’s next? Cancelling someone because they played with a Dukes of Hazard General Lee toy car when they were five?

She should seek advice from Hulk Hogan on how to sue these pathetic excuses for websites out of existence. This site and the Root belong in the trash right along side Gawker.

A no-research article, Tatiana. Do better. Stop gunning for clicks.

Fixed that title for you.

People aren’t upset over this, you and the author of the Root article are upset about this because you think you’re making a point and want to get clicks on your lazy journalism.

Now and again I’ll be perusing another Gawker site and an AV Club article, such as this Ryvita thin, festering turd of a piece, will catch my eye and remind me AVC still exists. It’s a shock every time. It feels good to be in the greys here.

This article is fucking stupid even by the extremely low standards of Nu-AV Club. Even the people on The Root wrote it off and AVC is still trying to make it into some big thing. 

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…
