No. Her reactions were so over-the-top performative and intentionally distracting. Can we just let Aretha have the stage? Do we have to capture white America’s gushing acceptance? Chill the fuck out. Jesus.

Um, no, it’s time for a POC to head up the Star Wars franchise. Rey can take her low-rent Keira Knightley ass to the Jedi academy or whatever. I’m only interested in Finn and Poe.

That link to Beyonce’s isolated vocals is a post about she was out there killin’ it, though. And she was completely on point all night long. Like, love on Adele, but don’t make up some shit on the flawlessness that is Bey (and the receipts to prove it!) to do so.

Big Boo is my absolute favorite.

Also, I'm sure discussing privilege is uncomfortable for you, but it's a necessary and urgent point for people of color, such as Azealia Banks, and Ferguson protestors, and people of color are constantly having to make. The fact that you can deny its existence is in and of itself, a privilege.

To answer your idiotic and constant point about why no one ever called out the Rolling Stones, you have a selective memory (or an incomplete education about music history). Black artists were constantly asked how they felt about the 'British Invasion,' specifically the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and many artists, on…

Because I don't trust you to read more:

If you don't see these tweets as racist, then you are coming from a place of INCREDIBLE privilege. Beyond the fact that she's perpetuating and leveraging negative racial stereotypes to make herself look "tough," she's also not acknowledging her own subject position—privileged white girl—as OVER the people she's…

These are the racist tweets. Vitriol is the least she should pay for these kinds of casually racist comments. http://piggyazalea.tumblr.com/post/794294835…

Eeee! You are/were amazing! And thank you for sharing this—I look pretty much the same as you did, with just a bit more padding all around. It good to see similarly-shaped bodies during this exceptionally weird and fraught time, when everyone has an opinion and you're sure you're doing something wrong. The body, while…

Lol to "erudite" Christians who go after "how poorly the argument is constructed" and "how poorly-written/researched" something is to establish a) they're smarter, b) their faith is correct, because look how smart they are! Calm the fuck down. This is not a think piece, nor does it purport to be some kind of…

Yeah, I feel the fuck out of that. I'm 5'2" and not due until February and people are constantly like, "THERE ARE TWO BEAR CUBS IN THERE" or "IT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW" and I'm like, chill everyone, it's the miracle of life. Also, I'm short and I married a Viking.

I am a feminist and I love The Little Mermaid forever! And I'm sure I can justify it as an "Ariel's journey to feminism" narrative, or how Ursula and Ariel represent different waves of feminism? I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING

I feel you, but I think WOC specifically have issues identifying as feminists because it has largely been a conversation among white, middle-class women and is, unintentionally, exclusive to those interests. As a Latina myself, I didn't formally call myself a feminist until age 32 and a graduate degree. A good…

Damn, so many white men just jumping all over this to put me in my place.

You don't know the first thing about my taste in music. I just don't make a distinction between high and low culture—"taste" is a false construct meant to keep certain people in power. Slint is just as good as Big Freedia. Cat Power is just as good as Nicki Minaj. alt-J is just as good as FKA Twigs. Bonnie Prince…

Okay, calm the fuck down. I should have made this distinction: women/of color, so as to say, "I prefer white men over women/women of color."

Second, I could care less if you consider En Vogue, TLC, and Lauren Hill important or "up there" with Oasis (really? Oasis? the cynicism! the entitlement!). What makes Nicki…

While the Beatles are amazing, you're basically saying, "Give me white men over women of color any day." That is maybe not your intention to say, but really examine why you believe that there's some quality distinction between these artists.

(This is coming from someone who owns 3 different imports of the White Album…

I'd written off Thought Catalog for years, until I came across a really hateful writer named Wayne Wax, who uses phrases like "oversensitive liberals who worry about microagressions," defends Ghetto Tracker apps, and writes about how Trayvon Martin wasn't a victim.

Aw, I love Bottlerocket! This compilation is so incomplete—he has really hilarious vines in general. He, KingDaddy, and JoshDarnit are the best dad-joke Viners.
