The big question I have is: who records a 13-year-old mouthing racist shit, and who —ten years later— releases a video of a 13-year-old doing stupid racist shit. I have no idea what stupid shit I did when I was a stupid shit.... but I am sure at least some of it was messed up.

Or, we just realize that we are not now who we were when we were 13/14

So, in your mind if someone says something racist then they are racist forever. 

She apologized.

Are you conveniently forgetting that this was also a time where one’s summer job could pay college tuition and a high school graduate could own a house and support a family of four?

You’re absolutely right. I’m against ageism and generation-ism 99% of the time, but Boomers DID fuck everything up. That is a cold, hard fact.

Yeah I’m not gonna judge something someone said when they were 13, because I’d be a huge hypocrite. I said some really dumb crap at that age too

Highlighted the problem there for you.

Right? I remember going online for the first time as a 13 year old and writing the most dumb immature things because that’s what a 13 year old is. Thankfully it was long enough ago that when those sites shut down the data was gone for good and not in some permanent cloud archive. As a society, we gotta evolve the…

As much as it pains me to do it because I think Eilish’s schtick is ridiculous (the whole “I did a Vogue cover but don’t sexualize my body” thing is stupid) ...

So do we accept Billie’s apology or not? Just wondering who else is going to get raked over the coals for stupid stuff they did as a kid. 

She didn’t use a racial slur; Tyler, the Creator did. 

I’m guessing it’s Bryan Singer.

Is that you Kevin? Or his PR crony?

“Johnny” = incorrect. “Jonny” = correct.

*To Rafibomb*: Maybe so, but at least with the old Kinja, I would be able to access your comment and respond. Now, I can only even read a section of it.

Y’all do recall that Collins used to be with the Daily Caller, right?
