Oh fuck off with that shit. She went right to Twitter after a loss when her husband, the unanimous MVP of the league went 8-20 and 6-13 from three point range in a loss and blamed it on the refs and the league. She sure didn’t seem to have an issue with the league when Draymond Green kicked Stephen Adams in the junk…

Number one, I’m calm. Just annoyed.

i knowww i want to celebrate and gush about wendy davis but i feel like this isnt a good post for it because the issue in this post is an important topic.

JFC. I love how completely this post has managed to exhibit Jesse’s point about equality.

But... she is in Malawi, on a humanitarian trip. She is physically seated by a fabric store where she probably bought the headdress . If she had done this out of her LA apartment, yes, it would have been iffy, but... I don’t know, she’s supposed to maintain distance from the culture she finds herself in to the point…

I don’t understand how so many people are so familiar with it! Not all of these people can have gone to see it... and do people really just listen to the soundtrack without seeing the show? That sounds... not appealing to me.

It’s a kind and normal statement/gesture, and I guarantee that it’s comforting to many family members and victims/witnesses. IMO, it takes work to be offended by “God bless you.”

**possibly tl:dr**

I really don’t understand why this is cultural appropriation, and not the logical result of the pop culture of the world she grew up in. R&B and hip hop have been the dominant force in pop music for her entire life, even more than “traditional” pop music which seems to ebb and flow in popularity. She’s never known a…

Serious question, if you grew up with black music being part of your culture (like 85% of Americans), at what point does it stop being cultural appropriation... especially in the context of the American melting pot.

Jezebel hates her. I feel like Kara would have had a stronger article had they picked an artist that they have not routinely picked on over the last couple of years.

I think it’s really ignorant to say “white women borrowing the attitudes and style of black women as a tool for their own empowerment.” Black artists are hugely influential in popular music. Many whites, Latinos and Asians grow up listening to music made by black artists. It’s not “borrowing.” It’s influence. Black…

Agree.. and yet.. there’s some strangeness to his views. Amy = good, because she sounds good and has blacks in her band. Meghan = bad because she from the North/funny sounding place. The writer could have asked Meghan - why do you sound like you’re from the black South when you sing? And, what was Amy’s response to…

“White people shouldn’t get to make bad rap music and be as popular—or even more popular—than talented black artists.”

Yes, although I do wonder with him if it’s just that his voice is shockingly deep as opposed to him trying to adopt vernaculars that are not from his culture. I’m not sure I know enough about the subject to tell, though.

Look I get this is a thing, I get that artists do this, but this just feels like lets pick on Trainor more than anything. As a non American she just sounds like any other American singing. Now as an Aussie I will say Iggy is appropriating that accent like it’s going out of style, but then Madonna sang with a British…

Jesse Williams is such a fucking dreamboat. I don't even understand how he's real.

I can’t hate her for defending her dad/ supporting him assuming she’s never witnessed or experienced any kind of violence from him. She clearly loves him. It’s also why she’s neither the judge nor jury.

I wouldn’t presume to know what his experiences are. Regardless of whether what he refers to qualifies as sexism, however, and regardless of whether he could improve his vocabulary, he should certainly be taken seriously when he says he feels he’s being sexualised and objectified in ways he’s uncomfortable with.
