“Don’t judge me for lashing out and attacking other people! I’m hurting, and my victims should be sympathetic toward my pain while I profit off of theirs!”

I can’t see how your “defense” would not also be applicable for the racism of Michael Richards, as an example. Being “broken” is not carte blanche for saying hateful shit.

Yeah, we know that specifically. And it makes sense, that in places with more lynchings, they would try harder to prevent Black people from accessing public spaces. 

Wasn’t it already proven that these statues weren’t erected to memorialize the Civil War, but to remind Black people of their place as second class citizens during the Jim Crow era?

How exactly is the existence, humanity and dignity of transgender women Dave’s tragedy to laugh at? 

Even as transgender woman it took me a long time to understand why it took me so long to come to terms with who I am. The Netflix documentary “Disclosure” really opened my eyes and put a lot of things in my life into context. All of the negative portrayals of trans women had a deep and lasting effect on me that I…

“Finding catharsis through mockery and abuse of the vulnerable” is generally called bullying, and using the language of victimhood to defend it is certainly a choice.

Let’s also think of the number of vulnerable trans youth who aren’t killed, but ARE winding up homeless, abused, and even tortured because their hardware and software don’t quite jibe. Every closeted trans kid who was even walking by when someone was playing that section was harmed—first by someone on TV saying they…

The wild thing is that another cis dude felt as though his perspective mattered more than, say, any trans people. Like, my dude, you wouldn’t accept a white guy telling you whether something was racist when a lot of Black folks were saying it was, why on Earth can’t you figure that same thing out when it’s about…

I hate learning how stupid so many celebrities are.

Between this and Kim being a fairly decent SNL host last Saturday, we’re in strange times indeed. 

Dear Darkhearts, who I’m unwilling to ungrey:

If nothing else, I’m grateful for the following quote:

There are no black LGBT people. You heard it from Chappelle first.

He does have the freedom to say what he wants and he did say it. Freedom to say what you want doesn’t mean there are no consequences or opinions. 

I’m looking forward to Dave’s bit in the next Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

This is who Dave Chappelle is now. He’s Andrew Dice Clay. He’s not going to get better. He’s just going to keep getting more defiant and less funny.

if she gets anybody sick especially angela bassett i will be very upset

She’s wonderful.

This everyone’s friendly reminder that according to current studies, more than 95% of the people who choose to have an abortion express no regrets five years later, with 84% reporting positive or neutral feelings about the procedure. The most commonly cited emotion throughout the study period was relief.
