And in this case, the smaller player might be the better one. Just not as young.

Go Marshawn!!!! Please keep sitting and after yesterday I hope others in the NFL also find a way to make a statement.

Cutler hasn’t cared about football in years and was a vocal supporter of a misogynistic, racist, abrasive Presidential campaign yet there was not outcry against signing him. Kap kneeled during the national anthem to protest videos of people actually being killed by police.

I generally empathized with the protest over the Emmett Till piece at the Whitney, and I thought Schutz’s response was weak as hell and full of privilege and entitlement.

I would generally say that any person who brings up IQ “differences between people” is trying to justify their racism with a misunderstanding of social science.

I don’t get this at all. Why on earth should there be a campaign to blacklist this artist, in a show that has nothing to do with the controversial art work?

So a white artist can’t express his or her point of view on a topic, even a sympathetic one? It’s her rendition on a well publicized piece of history. I don’t get the outrage. Can a white person make a painting of Jackie Robinson stealing home? Can a black person not make a painting of the Trail of Tears? Should…

Yep, yep, and yep.

It’s almost like looking good in a cocktail dress and channeling righteous indignation are not all it takes to have a handle on the issues.

I love Coco Fusco. Her work is what got me interested in performance art, and her voice carries a lot of weight. She talks the talk and walks the walk. People should definitely hear her out, because she laid the groundwork for many who critique the museum and gallery system.

If the Emmett till painting is gone then anything else should be left alone.

i think there’s actually not enough representations of the effects of our society’s violence within our society’s cultural institutions. That painting is not a celebration of the violence that Till and other’s have felt- it’s a fucking condemnation of it.

Should the Wire be condemned because it was made with whites at…

Seriously, I think Life Is Beautiful is in poor taste and shouldn’t have been made by a goy, but I wouldn’t call to have all reels burnt and protest to shut down a local showing of it and get DVDs taken off of the shelves. You shouldn’t bar access/destroy a source. That’s when it becomes censorship.

Soon only men can paint men and women only women. Then only children can paint other children and only zoologists can paint animals. Family portraits will be done by committee.

*shrug* Anyone can tell any story in any medium they like.

If you don’t want to view a particular work of art, no one is forcing you to see it. Just don’t force me to not see it.

The first work of art was pretty tone-deaf...but it’s also pretty tone-deaf to say that this is “not about censorship” when you are explicitly asking for someone to be censored and blacklisted.

This is insane. We have really crossed a dangerous line, with artist’s and academics threatened and silenced and the impermissibility of speaking scientific truths. Normal, rational people are under no obligation to acknowledge snowflake feels as objective reality.

I’m sure this whole thing will be resolved like rational adults.

I assume these types of motors are outrageously expensive, but they’d be great for a city commuter bike.
