I wish you were right, but I’m afraid my Blue Lives Matter white hillbilly relatives have indeed lost their damn minds about Beyoncé. Because Breitbart told them to, basically.

I’m whiter than chalk and generally ambivalent on Beyonce, and I thought the song was pretty good, the video was powerful, and her performance at the Super Bowl kicked ass. Unfortunately, I’ve had to explain why it’s not anti-cop and not “totally reverse racsim” to more than one equally white facebook friend though. :\

Who knows? Thing is, I think Kara is too young to remember that people clutching their pearls over music is nothing new. Ten years ago, remember the uproar the Dixie Chicks caused? People were gathering their CDs to trash them? Twenty years “gangster rap” and “sex rap” bands like 2 Live Crew had a whole court fiasco…

nah, she’s more than welcome to sit there with her lil stank face on if she feels so inclined. in the same vein, other people are more than welcome to comment on it! especially since she reposted the damn video herself on Twitter like she thinks she’s being some kind of warrior on behalf of Kendrick Lamar (who, after…

Tori, is that you?

People are saying it’s just a case of resting bitchy face. Nope. I watched it. That girl was hatin’ and jealous. No doubt about it.

i didn’t realize how difficult her time after the spotlight was for her. y’all young ‘uns have grown up with Magic Johnson looking all “swole” and healthy despite having aids, but i’m a gen x’er.

when you're at the Grammys throwing shade and no one has any idea who the fuck you are:

Fucking good for her. I'd be pissed if some egomaniacal dude was trying to take credit for my massive success too. This is the most I've ever liked Taylor Swift.

Thoughts when looking at Robin Thicke’s tweet:

I hope this puts to rest the idea that talking about Renee Zellweger’s face was sexist. When any celebrity appears somewhere and looks noticeably different, people will talk. I’ve noticed Cruise’s face changing for at least a year or two. Don’t think the dude is handling getting older well at all.

He’s turning into Mickey Rooney.

He got Zellweggered!

Fillers will do that. Especially if he got them in his cheeks/nasolabial folds. He almost certainly got Botox, as well, because of the limited mobility of his face. You can actually tell by how his smile looks now vs. before:

aaliyah wants nothing to do with you, stacey.

Somebody please get that man an epi pen before that allergic reaction gets worse.

That’s what happens when you French-kiss Xenu.

Mostly the reaction I’ve noticed from well-educated liberal white people has been a fairly even split between a) this is awesome! or b) this is corporate/subordinationist pseudo-activism that, while maybe well-intentioned, only serves to reify the existing assumptions of white supremacy.

Moments like this I realise I live in a very sheltered liberal bubble. Maybe it’s living in NYC but I don’t know a single person who got offended or felt threatened by Beyonce’s video. Also, who the hell are these people? The video and song are catchy and yeah the political elements are there but they’re pretty light…

The fact that it was barely satire tho.
