Nah, this is wasted backlash! Plus the NAACP has nominated racist pieces of shit before, including Donald Sterling. We need to choose our battles  carefully and strategically. This ain't it!

I don’t understand the back lash. She’s a person of color thus the award. She’s from NYC thus the accent and attitude. Ya’ll never watched Nora from Queens or her YouTube videos? I think the people complaining want her to sound “Asian”?

I know people have been saying Gawker Media-G/O Media is going down the drain for at least 10 years, but the recent departures really were the death knell of these websites.

Dang, maybe next time

“And then The Root hired Michael Harriot. And I watched as damn near everything he wrote went platinum. I literally became the mad rapper—because working with Michael Harriot is like being a rapper on the same label as Kendrick Lamar.”

He was a “veteran in crisis,” doncha know? That apparently excuses everything and gets him kid-glove treatment and a ride to the hospital for a check-up, instead of a knee to the neck or ten bullets in the back.

Is “veteran in crisis” the new term for white guy tantrum? I’m glad he didn’t have a gun. Nice of the cops to treat him so gently.

See I stopped caping for her after I found out she was a homophobe. I’m still pro-weed, especially given that testing fiasco, but not her.

He can call himself whatever the fuck he wants, I’ll be calling him Koonye the asshole. (One who apparently enjoys being a super spreader event.)

You know that couple friend of yours? The ones who loudly state how in love they are? Where she always posts photos of him with captions like “the love of my life” and “I’m so happy we found each other” and his Instagram is filled of pictures of him working out or out drinking with the buddies.
You know the ones, whose…

This apology is like moldy bread..... I’m not buying it. If she believes that either:

I guess it’s “fine” sure, but I still have some questions. Is the dress fabric burlap? Are those visible underwires? Like, I get the structural need for underwire, but making them visible in what I’m assuming is supposed to be an unstructured wrap/tie top is a little strange. Why is the skirt clearly 1-2 inches too…

Justin Beiber’s outfit is not ‘largely fine’. It shows a complete contempt for the people he’s meeting.

So they can stand around passing the work off to each other before complaining that the immigrant who actually does it stole their job?

A swamp is a healthy biome rich in plant and animal life.

I told myself that I wasn’t going to comment for a while, but this brother deserves some words. What a beautiful and tragic story. I’m sorry that he’s gone but glad it was natural causes. I really hope that it was painless and that those interactions truly changed his short life. It’s sucks that there’s less light…

I’ll take it to mean make a point of hiring women who’ve been wronged especially since in many or most cases they’ll suffer career repercussions for standing up for themselves.
