Um, yeah. It’s pretty normal to want to beat the hell out of someone who attacked a family member, no matter who it is. But Neeson didn’t have an identity, so he latched onto a superficial characteristic. The only way this is a story is if he acted on it or failed to come to his senses. Indeed, the only thing that…

Isn’t this helpful? White people acknowledging their racism and how it forms their thoughts and actions. I ain’t saying he should be invited to the BBQ (and if you see him walking down the street, totally cross to the other side) but neither do I think he should be castigated for voicing the truth of his racism and…

SJWs: “We need to have an honest dialogue about race! White people need to confess their sins!”
Liam Neeson: “Here’s a doozy of a time I was a complete racist POS and now I feel terrible about it.”

Nah, admitting these kind of impulses is important rather than pretending they don’t exist.

I loved this part:

Attorneys can do their jobs without asking those questions (and I would know--I’m an attorney!). You do not need this witness to prove up that rape could damage someone’s career.

I disagree. The real tragedy are his victims. Another way of looking at Michael Jackson is he crafted a persona that appealed to children. Mild- mannered. Child-like. His home was built to entice children. All to create the perfect environment for a predator. People act like Michael Jackson was some sort of naive waif…

Please stop defending him in any way shape or form. There are no mitigating circumstances with child molestation. He was a scumbag predator whose deeds rest solely on his own shoulders. Of course he had help-but no one was forcing him to destroy these boys’ lives.

#MuteMichael as in stop selling/playing his music? Who am I kidding! That’s not going to happen. The victims are boys. Boys/men do not make ‘good victims’ of sexula abuse. Just think about the Catholic priest abuse scandals. People were talking about some prominent clergy members, but never about the molested boys.…

I don't support the Game in any way, shape, or form, but I feel like as long as Kanye keeps telling other people, especially other rappers, what they can and can't say, they'll keep coming after him with this garbage. Even moreso because Kanye is a hypocrite and says whatever he wants. I mean dude rapped about having…

Yes, to all of that but...do you listen to any hip-hop? The genre is built on the use of similies/metaphors, euphemisms, and idioms. Hint: people aren’t actually spending “cheddar” or other cheeses as currency, “smashing” doesn’t mean making a dish with peas, and getting “brain” doesn’t mean reading a book. People…

That’s not really my issue with this piece. If Gina Rodriguez said something offensive, then it’s worth calling out. No one gets a pass for being from a certain minority group.

Okay; not mutually exclusive, but whatever. “No, I’m not Puerto Rican” would have sufficed.

Honestly, you need to stop. There is no objective standard on what is dark skinned and what isn’t. 

I’m tired of seeing Vergara’s earnings thrown out there in relation to this. Regardless of where her earnings come from, she is a statistical outlier and not representative of what the average latina/hispanic actress makes. It would be like using the career of Denzel Washington as an example to say that black actors…

you really don’t get it.  when you divide people, you hurt our cause as a whole.  this entire article is shaming a Latina for speaking up for herself.  Shame on you. 

Reading through this, I kept seeing statements that the overall averages are not applicable to Hollywood (which, duh, any specific industry will vary from the overall average in some way) and that Rodriguez was wrong about the pay gap but nothing proving she was wrong. The link saying it’s “simply untrue” goes to some…

Plus a sample size of 10 isn’t large enough to be statistically significant.  Can’t generalize from exceptions.

Okay, to be honest, the evidence used in this reporting continues to confuse the hell out of me. The twitter link this article provides to argue that Rodriguez is wrong about her claims about Latin actresses does not actually prove anything of the sort. It actually just theorizes that her claim is based on a…

. In one popular Tweet, film critic Rebecca Theodore-Vachon pointed out that Modern Family’s Sofia Vegara has been the highest-paid TV actor in Hollywood for three years in a row, regardless of gender, and the highest paid actress for seven years in a row. Comparatively, Kerry Washington was the only black woman to…
