Yeah...no. We like it for what she said, so you can leave the race thing out of it.

its wrong to degrade her with the snarky term ‘newly minted feminist’ when it seems that her whole family is pro-femme and has most likely, grown up with these ideals...

I know my opinions regarding performance art are at least partially based in ignorance, but most of it just strikes me as being overly self-indulgent and complacent. It just makes me feel tired and annoyed.

Congratulations, you managed to look even more self-obsessed than Kim and Kanye.

I know it’s popular to hate on them, but I’m happy for them. They seem like they really love their daughter and they do a lot of the dirty stuff themselves that they could have handed off to a nanny. They’ve publicly said how they want more kids, so good for them.
