They hate so much that a black man is President. They hate that he is better educated than they are. They hate that he is smarter than they are. They hate that he has more money. They hate that he has better taste in suits, that his wife and kids are awesome, that he actually didn't do too bad of a job managing our

Ugh, the whole "we care about the poor "tuxedo dressing up the incredibly vile "NIGRA BOY GITTIN' ABOVE HISSELF" trained lizard is so fucking vile. And pretty damn rich coming from FOX news.

Honestly, this racism goes beyond anything I would have expected back in 2008... Apparently it's only newsworthy when a black person:

Come on people, you shouldn't interrupt a funeral... the family deserves to be able to rape her identity in peace.

I realized early on that I wasn't ready for season 4. It was looking at drugs in Baltimore from an angle that was going to wreck me, and I was going to care about those kids way too much. And it did, and I did, and I'd watch it all again.

Randy still haunts me. I had just had a foster adoption fall through, and then that season ended, and I sobbed for days over Randy bc I couldn't cry for my own family's loss. I used to dream that he came to live with us and started a lawn-mowing service that became a successful business as he grew up.

D'accord, d'accord, d'accord.

I have one of those in my life. Either way....it ends up being about him.

You are lucky. The only so-called empathetic bf I had was sooo empathetic that he took on all my feelings for himself to the point of making me feel like I couldn't have (or at least, share or display) feelings about anything because all my feelings made him feel bad.

Just to make people smile because... I'm all a-sniffle:

Here's a link describing it in brief and a video where she discusses the piece ("Rhythm 0", 1974). You might also be interested in Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" (1964), as well as Chris Burden's "Shoot" (1971) and performances by the Viennese Actionists. These works, and others of their kind, showed gallery audiences were

Because he is mentally ill and he set up an art performance for people to degrade him.

I think you mean Schrödinger's scat, ;)

This was perfectly written and it's a shame, yet not surprising, that people are criticizing her response, and it's just another example of white people's* lack of empathy and compassion for black people and the racism we've dealt with in the past and present. Had she taken a different route and defended Daniel

This is funny watching Jezebel calm him out, when the title of their own article is that he "claims" he was raped. How about a fucking title that does not imply he is lying or that they do not believe the victim. How about " Shia Labeouf was raped at an art performance"

I'm sure the ability to turn water into wine comes in handy

Is it not just a little troubling that it took an adult woman "hours of prayer, talking with [her] parents and re-reading [her] words" to realize that her words were insulting and poor taste.

I'll just copy and paste what I wrote on Gawker:

this woman is stupid or something if she doesn't realize that those girls were wearing the exact clothes the white house thought they should be wearing for a public event. Casual, like most of America at their thankSgiving celebrations. If they were supposed to wear nicer clothes they would have been. Plus, they're

I think #IAMSORRY was a poorly researched and designed piece, and a great example of why it's not smart to give a movie star with no performance training and documented mental health/self-harm issues free gallery space to engage with the general public.
