You can still be black and benefit from the privileges of having light skin.

I love LeBron. He’s my favorite athlete. But so many people I talk to, they still bring up The Decision. (Or claim he’s not a team player. I call BS every time.) Get over it, ya know? Its been the only misstep of his career and it still managed to raise over $2.5 million for the Boys & Girls Club. If only all of our

I’m fairly certain his mother is mixed.

“If we cease to report on the Kardashians’ reporting of their respective selves, their existence becomes indeterminate.” — Erwin Schrödinger.

I recall this being something my parents and I trotted out whenever discussing the OJ Simpson trial. And now I recollect about this in WTF I was so young and naive kind of way. I’ve attempted to discuss this with my mother a bit given they’re still in STL and I want to talk about these things. I recently discovered

White people who love Steph Curry and hate LeBron have all sorts of ‘proper’ reasons to rattle off, all of which are mostly subtext for preferring the smaller, light-skinned, half-white guy called Steph over the unapologetic, imposing black dude named LeBron.

While Calvin Harris is not an American citizen, can you see Taylor Swift going anything more exotic than Switzerland?

You mean the 2014 This Is How Comfortable White People Can Feel Better About Themselves While Turning A Blind Eye To Bloodshed Resulting From Institutional Racism Challenge?

Let’s face facts. Everything about Taylor Swift just screams “will eventually marry a top-ranked American male tennis pro.”

Well...she would probably be better about deadlines than Cat Marnell, right?

Whenever I think about how they’re leaving the White House, I try and reassure myself that they will spend the rest of their lives using the fact they were POTUS and FLOTUS to do good. And I’m not talking questionable-ish foundations or sitting on some company’s board, but going out there and Jimmy Cartering whenever

...or Brett Hull (who apparently just wanted to piss off a bunch of Canadians).

Speaking in non-refugee terms, dual citizenship is pretty useful. There are numerous instances of athletes choosing to compete from another nation because honestly, its might be easier to qualify—especially in sports where you’re competing in multiple events. Sometimes its as easy as being the child of immigrants.

I want to believe that the gig might be up for Sean Penn, too. Or has everyone just accepted he’s a horrible excuse for a human being but still thinks he should win an Oscar every 10 years?

When I was in college, this dingy dark dance club we went to sold $1 shots of it every Monday.

I still have massive trouble with the idea of Kendall Jenner as an in-demand, high-fashion model. She may have inexplicably wormed her way into the heart of catty Karl Lagerfeld and into the pages of Vogue, but she’s still not model-enough for Leo.

I bet PartyNextDoor hangs out on The Weeknd.

I am thrilled these two miserable people are divorcing. Hell, I don’t even believe they’re real. They’re just two annoying dinner party guests from any of Jackie Collins’ Lucky Santangelo books that manifested out of a mass-market paperback in the common area of a condo complex outside Orlando.

I just want someone to be over the moon about their impending divorce.

More than anything, if they can’t take this show to 1989, then 1986's issuance of glasnost should suffice.
