A non artist commenting on artists and how they should process their shit is really no different than Hannity commenting on global warming, tryna talk over experienced people. In America, it’s easy for outsiders to oversimplify and ignore the thoughts of those with the actual experience. It’s almost our hobby!

I work in New Orleans public schools, and I shit you not, in one class I have FIVE Aydens/Aidens. Four are black, btw, one is white. None of them have yuppie parents, not even close.

Coke and McDonald’s and other terrible, unhealthy companies have lobbied hard to be included in SNAP, etc, despite their lack of nutritional value, and so they RAKE IN the corporate welfare, while continuing to cause diabetes and other diseases that strain our already precarious healthcare system. Allowing them onto…

It seems about a third of the videos on say, PornHub, are fake scenarios where a man is tricking or coercing a woman into something—often it’s incestuous. Not to mention all the very real upskirt videos. I love some good, healthy, sexy porn, but MUCH of it is just an outlet for violent misogyny. In concept, porn is…

I am just standing here blown away that 2 Short of all people is rolling over onto his back, showing his belly, and asking to be led the rest of the way toward real feminism. 2 Short! That’s a new world we’re living in.

The most important thing you just admitted is that men immediately report the phrase “men are trash” without even caring about the context. That’s actually how ANYONE reacts when you talk about them as if they are nothing but part of a shitty monolith: they basically don’t hear it. Though men have enough privilege…

You could say others may deserve it, but you can’t say LL does not. He was an inventor of the form, and has kept going like Aeorosmith or the Stones (that analogy extends to all those artists’ late period work). I say all this even despite “Accidental Racist.”

What if they used that money to re-train and de-militarize police, and set up a system of greater accountability for them (and perhaps raised their salaries so that it was a competitive field, with no fat, lazy, racist cops)? I didn’t think the UNCF was the best choice...

I love Jay Z, but honestly, all those quotes sound like word salad.

Two things Jay Z should have done:

This is very confusing to me. If race and gender are both just made up human constructs, then why are they also so different? I understand the point being made that you can’t just suddenly live as another race if you haven’t lived that race’s experience your whole life, and all that comes with it. But I am confused as…

I would like to bequeath upon both members of this beautiful couple the glorious talent of being able to rap.  

I love that you’re such a good, creative writer but didn’t give that troll any of your good, creative words. Keep up the good work Michael!

Is that man not black himself?

Your version of Formation is 100% better in every way than the original.

Not to cape for white ladies but...53% of the white ladies who VOTED, voted for Trump, not 53% of ALL white ladies—a line you keep repeating and which, if it were true, would mean billions of white ladies voted for Trump, instead of the thousands that voted for him in reality.
