They did a cover and Tonja wanted to use whitewash in a new way.

And clickbait pays the rent, so a barebones post struggling to tie into cultural appropriation had to be written ipso facto

so what was this about? I’m lost. They did a cover and..?

I’m not advocating anything. I’m telling you what’s happening. Next year’s coffee crop is predicted to be all time record at over 7 million metric tons. That’s nearly 1kg of dried beans per person on the planet.

He can have Mypillow. I’m embarrassed that shit comes out of Minnesota.

Latin Americans can be white. They don’t have to be labeled as “white-passing” or “light-skinned.” Not all of us are mestizos. Some are actually just plain white.

oh fuck off, she apologized and is pulling the song, what more do you want? At the time people thought R Kelly was another succesful black man getting unfairly persecuted by white men like Michael Jackson was.

Also some other people have floated the theory that she never wanted to work with him in the first place and…

Yeah, but that is partly why its important. A bunch of young white people (any maybe others) will now google “what was andy samberg talking about” and get educated. 

yet another display of “Yay Progressive Whites!” with the subsequent back-patting for calling out an obviously grotesque moment in American history on national television, yet doing nothing else about its historical effects on the community today.

Jews of european descent have white privilege absolutely. But there are a great number of Jews (i.e. Mizrahi, Sephardi, and African) who most assuredly do not. So while I get your point, I’d avoid tossing around the blanket “Jews”, and accusing all of us of “toss[ing] it around whenever they can.”

How anyone can blame anyone but Franklin for this is kinda nuts to me.  I think you hit the nail on the head here, she was stubborn and “old school”, and it’s going to cost her family massively.

You are aware that this is the exact thing a lot of Jews (and non-black minorities in general, actually) say about black people, right?

A few people brought it up The Root the other day: the way the black community draws analogies between Jewish people and wealth is problematic. Like the n-word, it has evolved to become this complimentary/aspirational thing amongst black people, but has roots in bigotry and violence that we continue to ignore or…

Or stand-up comedians will joke about ANYTHING, especially with one another because people in that line of work don’t actually believe that hardly anything is actually off limits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey Ethan, if you want to write about something cool in the game, maybe don’t bookend your article with declarations of how bad the game is and instead, I don’t know, just talk about the cool thing. Shitting on the game diminishes a pretty cool accomplishment by this player. And no, couching your criticisms in…

As a family physician, your take is utter bullshit.

who are these people?

For years, Sony and Marvel had teased the idea that Donald Glover–black geek god—was in the running to play nerd-turned-superhero Spider-Man.

As a Vikings fan, I hate the fucking Saints for Gregg Williams reasons. Having the Minneapolis Miracle to hang over them for the rest of eternity is wonderful. Sure. Championships are great. Playoff appearances are great. This sort of play, sticks to the soul of a fan, and it’s another thing to lord over the Patriots…

Dude, don’t take Patrick at his word - some of this is outright wrong.
