The 18-year-old has been invited to the White House Iftar dinner, led Martin O’Malley’s youth presidential campaign, and interned and worked for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Neither did whoever came up with that ridiculous, misleading headline. Considering everything else this young man has done, I seriously doubt writing #BlackLivesMatter 100 times is what got him into Stanford. But hey, it did get him the kind of attention any activist would want.
But Bob Dylan has ALWAYS been sullen and rude and disdainful of people who are trying to be nice to him. That’s what his primary schtick is. I’m not much of a fan of his music, so I have never understood why people feel like his talent outweighs what a monstrous prick he is. Dylan was a socially inept egotistical…
Let’s be real here.
Does time move differently for him? Is he living 5 years in the future?
Rebellion would have been rejecting the award outright, as Sartre did. This was more “entitled rich guy wants to make his own rules but still collect the prize and $1million and make dumb dudes think he’s a rebel while actually just waving his dick around.”
It’s very rude. If you are an absolute hermit artiste who hates accolades and won’t accept them, fine. But to ignore the honor and act ungrateful and *then* go collect the prize? Really bad form.
Fuck Bob Dylan. I don’t want to hot take or anything(even though I personally don’t think he deserves it at all), but if he was going to be a giant wrinkled nutsack about receiving what is arguably the HIGHEST HONOR IN THE FUCKING WORLD then he should have just declined it. And I’ve seen a lot of “oh! It’s just Bob…
We should have known.
Agree, he is acting like a massive berk, and it makes me like him less.
When someone pays you a huge compliment I think you can accept it gracefully.
Wow. Just like Jesus. What an amazing person.
Oof. The man-babies are out in full force for Bob Dylan tonight, y’all.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Bob Dylan, and I think his songwriting really did merit this award, and I know not caring about stuff is his schtick, but at what point does his behavior just become rude? I mean, while his work deserves celebration, I can think of many more literary artists who also deserve…
Firstly, I. Love. That. She. Misspelled. Alphonso. Ribeiro’s. Name. As. Well. As. Karyn. Parsons’s.
Calls someone a “media hoe” right before she plugs her bullshit memoir. Sigh.
HOW is she still this furiously angry after all these years? She might feel hard done by because she wasn’t asked to stay in the role she’d done well for 3 seasons but, frankly, I wouldn’t want to work with her either. If she’s this insulting and vicious years later I wonder how unpleasant she made life for the rest…
She needs a life. Just get over it.
They aren’t complaining about being discriminated against. Not one bit. Jada was talking about people of color in Hollywood. And, given that we’re always saying that people who have power and privilege should use it for good, why the hell are we complaining that a well paid and powerful acting family is throwing their…
She kept working after she left Prince of Bel-Air, so when was she blacklisted? As for working with him, Alfonso Ribeiro (Carleton on Fresh Prince) said that it was difficult to work with her.
