But, it’s not news to anyone who knows anything about eyewitness testimony or the Innocence project. Even a lazy google search would have prevented you from typing this comment. Sarcasm≠Facts 

Your statement represents the problematic thinking behind this article. Beyonce, someone from a middle class family who went on to write and sing songs and then get on stages all around the world to energetically perform them, skillfully carrying out unique and sometimes prolific choreography—that person, is the…

Rubbish.

At the risk of sounding really dumb. I’m so confused. Why do people do this? What do they get from it? If you wanted/needed to be racist, I get calling the person the ‘n’ word to their face. But, it’s so weird when it’s on the bill. What are you hoping will happen? It’s so weird and passive aggressive—especially on…

So, Kik, you had a lot of great points. But, I’m immature, so my favorite, favorite part of your post was:

I think that’s true. I think woman and men are constantly selling and buying sex, inadvertently and on purpose. So, that’s why I think it’s important to have honest discussions about that (commodifying sex/sexuality). Usually, this discussion gets crowded out by ho/slut shaming conversations. That’s all I’m pointing…

Exactly. When I read this, I immediately thought, “This woman is getting off on whipping her patients.”

Fair enough. Fair enough.

Oh, my bad, a troll. As you were.

Lol! Why?

Wait a minute! Are you saying someone can’t at the same time be a perv (and/or rapist) AND be someone who had the police called on them for breathing while black?

I think the key word in the section you quoted was “nuance”. If you’re encouraging kids not to commit suicide with a premise (It gets better) that will not be true for most—especially if they’re a child of color, or not cisgender—wouldn’t it be better to come up with a true statement to encourage kids in that crucial…

Um...lots of problems with the message behind your post. Let me take out the biggest one, you kinda repeat this theme.

“Because I don’t get to see him that much anymore, that’s the only problem,” perhaps giving us a glimpse into the saddest little boy at the circus.

This “Valerie Jarrett is not black” thing is such a ridiculous attempt to sidestep the racism behind that tweet. But, I’ll bite. Even if you really had no idea that “VJ” was black and you just magically tapped into ape comments traditionally used to ridicule black people, there are still problems with the equation.

That said, VPNs are your friend and it’s hard to imagine someone as high profile as Guiliani not using one.

Joel, I don’t think the problem is the sex. (Though any time you have a much older boss having a sexual relationship with a subordinate, you may have a power disparity that really muddies the issue of consent.)

What parent lets their child go out the house looking like that?

That was my problem with this. HOW did she get the picture. Did she make this child participate in her own humiliation?

So, what you had to say was very important and I definitely agree with you. But, the shade with which you casually slipped in “unkeeped” into your comments really makes me feel that you should get all of my stars for the month.
