White men have appointed themselves as gate keepers of the intellect. Jann Wenner thinks Gaye/Curtis Mayfield/Stevie Wonder are inarticulate. But Mick Jagger ripping off Little Richard is genius? White men think whatever they do is intellectual. But they imagine women and Black people have no theoretical frameworks.…

Read this in Matt Berry’s voice.

I might give it a shot but none of the trailers has anything but the most painfully obvious comedy so probably not, really. Hell if Richard Ayoade needs work that badly I’ll gladly watch a new season of Darkplace or buy his books over again.

Yeah but there are drag shows that are designed to be child/family friendly. I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t lewd drag shows (which are still fun), but drag is not necessarily based in sexuality. Drag shows are more about pageantry and spectacle then sexuality, and kid friendly drag shows fall in the former…

It’s disheartening to see such perverted, anarchic behavior associated with Beetlejuice.

“He’s the only one who did that, and it seems like he got punished the most for it... He apologized and wants to make things better, and instead people were like, ‘No, you can’t. There’s no way for you to make things better unless you do this and this.’ But nobody said what ‘this and this’ was. Nobody said what he…

Michelle Wolf?

I believe you. I still think your take is bad though. Black and White rhetoric? Rapists and sexual assaulters have been given the benefit of the doubt under the guise of “it’s more complicated” or “the world isn’t black and white” for decades if not more.

Around what timeframe are we talking that you had this assignment?  I tell you my initial reaction to the options was that this came from some right winger or some 40's or 50's era game.  So maybe it’s stuck around in this flawed form since then.  It omits information by expecting the kids to make assumptions as to…

Well played.....;)

Yeah it’s super refreshing to see someone defend the status quo and say things we’ve routinely heard in response for the past 10 years. So brave and novel.

Yeah, comparing Cassius Clay to Kendal Jenner is totally fair. It isn’t like 65 fucking years separate the two events or anything.

You know who else was kind and generous? People living in the antebellum South. They have a whole term for it: Southern Hospitality. Southerners, especially those with large estates, were considered incredibly welcoming and giving to all people*. It’s a perception so ingrained in the culture that it endures to this…

Pretty insipid stuff. I’ll pass on that special and she can enjoy her scumbag “friends” and fuck off to another cornfield.

How is Chapelle “disgraced”? He’s still doing stand up and can verbally destroy anyone who comes at him (he more than held his own against Hannah Gadsby) , got a bloody Mark Twain award and I believe is on tour with Jon Stewart. I mean, Michael Richards is disgraced (rightfully) who has seen him in years.

Chappelle gleefully ignores the fact that the majority of trans women murdered in this rat-fucked country are Black. He and whoever this idiot is doesn’t give a single fuck about Black folks. He doesn’t need us ‘cause he barks on command/cash for white audiences. 

the issue with ck isn’t whether or not he apologized, the issue is: doing it in the first place.

I’d definitely bring the lawyer and his wife. Without TV, we’re going to need some entertainment.

In his head.

You can be anti Bill Willingham and anti “Big Mean Corporation™”.
