Thank you for clarifying that Cheese Jizz. Oops. Sorry. That was just an innocent, clumsy mistake. My bad.

I don’t really know one way or the other, so if Jezebel isn’t here next week I’ll know you’re right. I wanted to express appreciation for the work the staff does in raising social justice awareness. If Jezebel is closing down, it’s an even more appropriate time to say thanks, before everyone disperses. And if they

A huge thank you to all the staff at Jezebel who report on the bigoted bullshit that happens across so many different forums. It must be so exhausting and infuriating, especially for staffers from the affected groups. I know that general sports writing is hella sexist, but assumed reporting on fucking gold medal

Our culture is steeped in white supremacy. That means a lot of unconscious bias and viewing Black people differently from white people. So the intention doesn’t matter. Clumsiness doesn’t matter. Stop minimizing something that is common for those of us who don’t have our heads in the sand.

Seriously. Also, the fact that anyone could ever conceive of a headline like this perfectly demonstrates why people who talk about not seeing race, but seeing “individuals” are usually bullshitting themselves. It really IS still a struggle for POC to be recognized as anything beyond what their racial/ethnic label

Wow...insulting much? I don’t even know if my cat is black, white, or purple. I don’t see color, unlike SOME people

“I don’t see color!”

My cat is black so I’m totally not racist.

The “I’m not racist! I have black friends!” crowd.

What is truly frightening is that these sexist and racist headlines and comments are not made to be intentionally malicious. Most people, even if they are internal scumbag bigots, will closet their demons for their professions. Nobody WANTS to be on the wrong end of these and having to make apologies and retractions.

Nintendo: “Nobody likes Metroid anymore, it’s a dead frenchise. What we need now is a cooperative arena shooter that will really appeal to the kids!”

It’s because Metroid got nothing for it’s anniversary other than a spin-off instead of featuring Samus as a throw away line. It would have been fine to do it if this wasn’t the first Metroid game in like 5 years and if it wasn’t the anniversary. It’s just really bad timing on Nintendo’s part when their other

And these are only the incidents that we hear about, because they happen to media-savvy people with access to publicity. Imagine how many times it happens that we never hear about.

Roger sounds like a whiny, overstepping bitch.

100% agreed. I was on the free lunch program in school and some days it was the best (or only) meal I had. It helped me focus and work hard to get good grades. I put myself through college (with the help of Pell grants), and now I have a great job and pay taxes. And I VERY MUCH want those tax dollars to give some

That’s the logical conclusion yes. But to think like a Trump supporter you need to add some bigotry, fear mongering and entitlement and then you’ll realize that affirmative action is just taking things from hard working white people and giving it to black people who don’t deserve it because black people get to have

Whatever makes someone happy, brah. I’m not here to tell people how to live when it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

As long as he enjoyed himself, like that’s what a vacations about.

Like...I go on cruises yearly and on some cruises I’m active, out and about aboard the ship, while on other years, I’ve been hooked reading a Novel and would just sit on the deck with my ipad reading novels while sipping icy alcoholic beverages.


Old Kanye was the best. New Kanye, not so much

Yep.
