I don’t get the point of this article at all. Actually, most people—black, white, etc—didn’t have a problem with Formation. At most people hailed it as the ultimate #blacklivesmatter anthem, at worst they thought it was a meh song with lyrics that didn’t match the content, thus rendering it—dare I say?—appropriation

So any white woman who is attacked, abused, or insulted should STFU and take it because the centuries-old privilege our shitty ancestors instilled makes it her karmic obligation? Got it.

Kanye doesn’t represent all black men any more than Taylor represents all white women; that’s not the point of the statement. Taylor’s “vanilla” white girl privilege is evident everywhere in her music and lifestyle, which tends to overshadow the times she actually is in the right, like when Kanye repeatedly insults

Kanye is his own sinking ship, and is acting out in due accordance. He’s grasping at everything from ex girlfriends to Mark Zuckerberg at this point.

Maybe. But I’m on Swift’s side. I know she’s a vanilla white girl we all roll our eyes over, but she’s one of many women who have to put up with this shit from men looking for cheap plugs.

Here’s what I want to know: why do female artists such as Swift feel the need to put out a misogynistic fire they didn’t start, and only provoked because they committed the unpardonable crime of being women? I’m not a fan of Taylor, but time and again she’s taken the high road on this shit, starting when she should

Eh, I was in middle school when Gywnnie had her breakout a’la Sleepers, Emma, Great Expectations, etc, and she was a different kind of annoying back then. Young twenties, uber skinny pouty chain-smoking Soho pedigree type shit; difference was the internet was still pretty primitive so we didn’t get the 24/7 plug on

To reiterate Aunt Viv I’s comment last week in her YouTube commentary, actors aren’t always in a position to name names and go all out in fighting inequality, and to ask them to do so is equally unfair. Acting is notoriously “here today, gone tomorrow,” and everyone knows it. So maybe Stewart is trying to be

I think you totally hit the issue in the head, right there. Everybody likes to think they’re open minded, supportive of change, and proactive about bringing it about—until it threatens their own cushy snow globe of privileges exclusively awarded to their demographic.

I used to be baffled by the outrage people who DID speak up—like Clooney—were met with. As in, damned if you do, damned if you don’t where race issues are concerned. My white girl default setting has been to keep my mouth shut on anything not pertaining to white, because clearly I don’t get it, never will, and can’t

Yeah, it sucks when you f*ck your way through a city the majority of your youth, prey on women half your age after that, and in between dispose of potential partners with less care than cigarette butts. And you wonder why you’re alone and losing your appeal with each consecutive decade? These men complaining of

Huh. I thought the whole point of the show was that behaving like a badly behaved man made you a liberated woman. Oh, and shoes. Lots of shoes.

Let’s also not forget the sad but common practice of celebrities feelin’ themselves a bit much, and acting like unabashed grown up brats. The goofy-sexy Carole Lombard schtick got old with J-Law about two years ago, exhibit A being said Golden Globes.
