It’s not like he won a Grammy or anything.

He’s an icon for a generation who tried to freeze culture for 40 some-odd years.

Do you think Iggy would have gotten a pass if she was actually any good? Like, the offensive thing about her to me is the fact that she actually sounds like someone’s racist impersonation of a rapper.

I’m for Bernie because I feel his record on issues of equality easily trounce those of the latest Clinton oligarch to angle for the White House.

Racial minorities only exist when we agree with the white liberal hegemony.

I love how white liberal supporters of both candidates in this thread talk about black people like they’re aliens, a homogenous hive mind and unruly pets. Every election makes me convinced that race relations will never move forward if we have to depend on white allyship.

You're welcome.

Who’s bullying you? Is a strong disagreement with you the same as abuse to you? That’s some white fragility!

He understands.

Well, it’s no “I like Ike”, that’s for sure.

Most of our country has a pretty gross attitude around issues of mental health. I don’t know that many of us are in any position to diagnose anyone.

That’s fine, they can all go live near you.

I know some of you will be entranced by how... quirky this story is. Like a manic pixie dreamgirl crossed with a hummingbird pendant sold on Etsy, quiirrky.

I hoped to explore the question of what had happened to this once-promising young man.

Ah, well if all of his contracted artists are losing money, maybe he’s losing his viability as a producer. Tastes change.

I’m guessing that in the short term, he’s got enough contracted artists to keep him happily employed. This really only hurts his public profile, which as a producer, is already kind of irrelevant. I didn’t even know Dr. Luke was actually a guy and not just some faceless conglomerate of songwriters and producers until…

Chris Brown. R Kelly. Etc, etc.

*shrug*

And he’s a fucking producer. It’s not like Phil Spector was hurting for work after it was learned that he was a monster.

Do you have a better suggestion for a reaction? Like in your mind is there something better that a white person could say in a story like this other that “what the actual fuck this is stupid”
