I think that a lot of people are a lower level of racist (not actively identifying as racist, but with some distinct prejudice existing) and just don’t realize it, probably haven’t actually had to seriously examine their core beliefs.

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

This is Lesson #1 in the Black Nerd Training Programming, passed down from generation to generation.

RIGHT?! FUCK. THIS. ASSHOLE.

Nah, man; it’s a breath of fresh air, to hear an admission, but “I’m sorry that I was so famous and popular, and they wanted it” is not much of an apology. It’s the best we’ve seen, still not good enough.

I do not get the woody Allen Hollywood circle jerk. OR roman Polanski.

It is such an absurd response to your article that one could imagine it was from a SNL skit.

Pretty shocked when I saw this (if not surprised). I was expecting them to have made her hair look smaller or smoother, but to have completely erased her hair strikes me as so much worse for a reason I’m struggling to put my finger on.

I REALLY am loathe to defend Trump, but video CLEARLY shows Abe doing it first. This is why alt-right idiots bleat on about fake news.

She’s tweeted some pretty vile stuff and attacked adults, called a singer’s husband ugly for no reason, called rapper’s wife ugly out of her beef with the rapper, came after Cardi B, because her song was a hit, and attacked a teenage actress for no reason just to name a few.

Stassa - this was a brilliant piece. Thank you.

I disagree vehemently with everything on this list. But I like the way it was written. I guess this is a paradox.

Black people loudly protesting in the streets: “Those thugs just want to loot and riot and set things on fire!”

Players: “We are protesting racial disparity, racial injustice, and systemic oppression.”

Remember when Hoth was attacked by the Empire and Obama never visited even though he was president here and also on Hoth at the same time thanks to him being a secret Muslim terrorist?

That’s very true..I’ve been a working actress all my adult life, mostly voiceover, but I also sing and have been in musicals and played out . After any live performance there’s a post-partum depression kind of thing that happens..and you’re right..can you imagine if we had Madison Square Garden, full and cheering for…

Exactly. One, the guy with the ‘flamethrower’ says it’s a bottle of spray paint that was thrown at him which he did indeed, ingeniously, improvise when threatened with a GUN. These people can at once claim that the people who showed up with assault rifles, helmets, shields, knives, and in military gear were not…

They don’t fall for it, they straight up prefer it because it confirms their expectations. They only want to hear how they are the victims and how everyone else is oppressing them.

There is no scam, there is just a product targeted at a very specific group of willing consumers.
