I dreamt I had a penis once. But it wasn’t a sex dream. I just had a penis and I never took my hand out of my pants the entire dream because I was like “Holy shit! This thing is so weird and amazing!”

Okay, if we’re really going to compare someone to a Triplets of Belleville illustration, I really think we should be looking at Ted Cruz. Seriously.

Everyone should be inspired by Kate Bush. She is a goddamn treasure!
Those are the eyes of a man with an eight-ball up his nose.
I did, which is why I was kinda shocked, but thank you for laying this out. She did a lot of good that isn’t wholly erased by this racist caricature, but I admit to initially feeling like Lucy of all people should’ve known this was fucked and nixed it.
Time or era does not excuse racism. It’s still racist. There’s no “context” there, because it’s still hugely fucking ignorant and that’s their fault. It’s not my responsibility to accept these awful racist caricatures because “It was a different time” or “They didn’t know any better.” They should’ve known and done…
I’m younger (late 20s) and grew up with limited TV access in NDN country, if that explains my ignorance. But yes, thinking about all the stereotypes I have seen (oh so many!) in the TV I have caught up with from 1940-say now (b/c this shit still happens! GAH!) is really depressing. I’m gonna go cry in the rain now.…
Thank you for the heads up. NONE of this is okay! (and that is NOT how Indigenous women carry their babies AT ALL, to say nothing of these costumes).
Holy. Shit. I did not know this happened (2nd ETA: I love the gif I posted but am not a Lucy “fan,” tbh). Goddammit, Lucy. YOU, TOO?
SAME! Girl can retire, but I hope she’ll do specials in the future.
Ah, my bad, it was Kilmeade. I could easily see Doocy saying this, though. God these people are so awful and yet they seem interchangeable.
Ah, yes, totally fine for Steve Doocy to casually make the connection between a black woman baking a summer cobbler and fucking Kool-Aid. Yup, nothing to see here. He can’t be racist, she’s his friend!
