You, I and the majority of poc know exactly why. For all the handwringing about being a different breed than the deplorables in Trump’s basket, they share similarities in every respect that matters.

“Yeah, we’d all vote for him over Trump. But that’s a low bar.”

Please don’t even entertain the notion of Bernie running again

I overheard a conversation suggesting Rahm Emanuel and almost spat out my orange juice

Please define “fucked up”. Say out loud what Joe Biden did. Contextualize the thing you’re willing to brush aside and understand why so many voters of color aren’t as full throated and blind in our support as you demand we be. 

My initial instinct is to dismiss this comment because I know trashing Clinton would put me dangerously close to Bernie-bro territory which, I can’t emphasize enough, isn’t the case.

And the ultimate gag, Democrats will either choose this guy or Corey Booker to represent the party in 2020 because of the epidemic of woven pink hats constricting heads in such a way they reset people’s memories every four years.

Cherry picking names of random black people/people of color does not dychotomize the historically symbiotic relationship between power and race, particularly in a country like the United States.

“It was an unfortunate incident,” Gibson said on “Playback” when asked about the fact that there are many who feel they can no longer support him or his work. “I was loaded and angry and arrested. I was recorded illegally by an unscrupulous police officer who was never prosecuted for that crime. And then it was…

You know what, never mind

I resisted listening to Bodak Yellow for a long time. I’m a hip hop snob who absolutely hates the rise of nothing-to-say mumble rappers like Little Yachty, Uzi, 21 Savage, Kodack Black etc. I used to count Cardi B in that same category. Then I listened to Bodak Yellow and damn it to hell, I actually liked it. It’s…

I’m a black guy and I remember leaving a comment on either Gawker, Jezebel or The Root talking about white allies. I feel that the gist of that comment can be applied to this situation, just swap out white people for men and racism for sexism, like this:

“As far as apologies go, that’s as good as it gets”

White men are considered the mainstream of the mainstream and anything even slightly abrasive from someone who is not in the mainstream is treated as radical even if it’s common sense. The mainstream only accepts it as common sense when someone from their group deigns to articulate it.

A hefty FU to the multitudes of Gawker/Jezebel readers who flooded my comment a year or two ago angry because I said this guy’s brand of anti-sexist anti-racist comedy was itself sexist, racist and not particularly funny. I believed the rumors from the start. Also, as a man myself, believe me when i say C.K. is a…

Either I don’t understand the reference (never watched Mean Girls but know of it thanks to cultural osmosis) or you commented on the wrong article. That’s an easy mistake to make when Kinja insists on bouncing you all over its infinite scroll to artificially boost ad revenue.

*speaks in Captain Kirk’s incredulous voice* why would a Ball(er) shoplift?

no

Ha, I wouldn’t have realized five of the seven gifs were of the same person without the name “Charlotte” in each of them. 

The one in the red shirt appears shorter than i would have expected
