Lea doesn't seem to understand that it doesn't matter if she doesn't remember all the racist stuff she said. It still happened. Saying you don't remember is irrelevant. 

No, you are completely correct. Her’s is about as perfect a take as one can get. Though, as someone darker than her, I’d love to tell her she’d be perfectly within her and our rights to use “we” if she ever wanted to.

Probably something to do with snotting off on Twitter that A REAL HERO would pay his rent is what's being taken as him attempting to take away from the good thing this man did.

Agreed. It’s not about how Halsey herself identifies, people see her and make that judgement for her. She cannot claim persecution when that split second judgment has given her a great deal of privilege. In any case you don’t have to present blackness to be pro-black. Her TLC vs Britney Spears quote highlights just…

I feel like Halsey’s in an extremely difficult position, but her take is the best one possible? (The tweet appears to have been deleted so I can’t see the reactions. Also, I’m so white I’m a ghost so I could very well be wrong here.)

Don’t get started on those fantasies where you drag him in after getting hit with rubber bullets and you have to apply topical ointments in .... unexpected places.

I tell ya, you can’t turn a corner in LA anymore without running into hot Brits named Harry. (And he - or the other one- can drop by my place any time. I’ll make the tea!)

You really don’t know what the backstory is to the relationship between the landlord, and the tenant

The land-owner chose to out the guy internationally. He can deal with what he has to deal with. If one is too stupid to understand that one should not do this sort of thing in the public sphere...welll...then one is too stupid.

I am not concerned about it. I think its dumb. Think before you post. 

As a landlord of an apartment with tenants who live near downtown Oakland I can say with certainty that the last thing on my mind would be my property if my tenants had acted heroically during a violent police response to save 70 people in a peaceful protest from tear gas and arrests. I would applaud them. And as a…

A poverty-stricken landlord is someone who bought property they couldn’t afford believing that the real estate market and/or AirBnB would compensate for their stupidity. A rich landlord can afford to waive his tenants rent during incredibly hard times (for example, a pandemic, or a national economic downturn, or high…

Not so fast. The point here isn’t that Maviglio doesn’t deserve the right to be a landlord. It’s that he’s completely tone-deaf. Any white person who has any understanding of what’s happening right now would know to just keep his mouth shut.

Shut up Tomato

People who are used to being affirmed are consequently more cavalier about expressing themselves. 

Yeah, if you can afford to pay a property manager whilst living on the other side of the country and you don’t feel like you have to interact with tenants....

Like even if I was somewhat sympathetic to this douche (if say he was a small landlord or retiree who needed the rent to live or was worried about the home spent much of his life in getting destroyed) how fucking dumb do you have to be to misread the room this badly and go public with this shit?

Hey, I would happily appreciate Bebe Neuwirth’s arm fluidity, but it’s really hard to stop watching Anne Reinking’s legs.

I liked “Bigger” but as far as NPH opening numbers go, personally I think you can’t top “It’s Not Just For Gays Anymore”
