Michael did pretty much say that. I was simply isolating his brilliant but wide-reaching piece to a specific issue.

Agreed, and I think what you say confirms my feelings about Rock having his heart in the right place. Plus, I totally appreciate the point Rock was making (although another point needs to be stressed, that every group has its bad apples).

I think it matters. I tell people it matters. Heck, I give up many weekends in the year to knock on people’s doors and tell them it matters.

Who do you think owns Nike?

Seems to me like a waste of a brilliant and not very prolific filmmaker’s talent.

They’re entitled to think what the fuck they want about me. I’m not trying to win friends at The Root. I just happen to support some of their opinions, regardless of what they may or may not think of me.

Then shame on us. We’re the fucking idiots.

Maybe those 65,000 (hypothetical) white women ages 18-30 are responding to the, justified, outrage of seeing a likely sex offender and anti-choice Justice being appointed to the Supreme Court by a victim-blaming pussy-grabber.

Sure, because Republicans are so civic-minded and engaged, and us libs are so damn stoopid and feckless, right?

All praise our new white saviour!

Fine.

Poor Taylor.

It’s all a bunch of rich white bare-minimum ‘liberals’ trying to atone for their white guilt by propping up Taylor as the saviour of the resistance.

Spot on!

It’s a shame all the other sites at Kinja have fallen hook-line and sinker for the rich white saviour narrative.

That’s fair.

I’m sure the Fox shithead was talking out of his ass (wonder what he thought of Kanye after his “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” moment). But let’s get real for a moment. Whatever you think of their respective politics: Kanye’s music >>>>>>>>> Taylor Swift’s music.

Is it any coincidence that Taylor discovered racism and homo/transphobia just as a likely sex offender and anti-choice frat bro is being sworn into the Supreme Court?

Not sure about the ‘nickeler’ gag. There are more than enough genuine grievances against Taylor Swift without making any up.
