No, racism does not work both ways. Prejudice works both ways. But not racism. We're going to do math again, okay?

If I had to guess, I would say one of his writers didn't run that one by him first and he was just reading it for the first time. Love it.

I was ready to side-eye him, but it's clear from the video that he's reading someone else's copy, and it almost comes off as him laughing at the ridiculous shit they wrote up for him to say.

It's low in a world in which the most popular porn frequently implies exploitation and nonconsent of female actresses and features violent gangbangs/sex and degradation of women.

He also likes partially clothed ladies and "naughtiness" - its not THAT weird, right?

Right. Heterosexual, cisgendered, happily married man in his 30's who definitely felt the, "Every girl's friend, no girl's boyfriend," shit in high school/college.

And I loved Murder Mondays. ::sigh::

In general he's right. I always think of this story from Ian McKellen when homophobes complain about "how they're going to explain this to our children"

Typical poor showing by my fellow white people. I wish I could say I was surprised :/

Yeah, it's like at some point you need to recognize that inner rejection to the uncomfort :b and go on and say, "Hey, that's what the mens feel like when we talk about sexism!"

Wow, the comments on this story went bad in a hot second. Dear white people, maybe we need to chill the fuck out.

I like my social commentary "funny and endearing". Please tell me truths in a pleasant tone. And only once. Ever. Thaaaanks.

But as a pale red-head with naturally curly Scottish hair, I can totally relate to Latoya Peterson's columns on hair and would like to explain this at length. Are you trying to hurt my feelings?

Oh, sweet jesus. Five seconds in and there's already "what about _____?" comments. I need to start carrying a flask of hard liquor.

FWIW, Hollywood Shuffle is a satire of a black actor's specific experience in white Hollywood (though I suspect it was perilously close to documentary). DWP is a broader satire about the perils of black people navigating white institutions at large, in the world of the film, inside a fictional predominantly white

Why would you even have to explain this? Beyond ridiculous. I cringe every time Jezebel brings up race.

Media stereotypes everyone but this movie is specifically about what Black people deal with, it's about Black people. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment? Hearing, "This movie is about Black people" and responding with "Why isn't it about other people?" seems like a non sequitur to me.

#NotJustBlackPeople

You are why we can't have nice things. You give the impression that white people only want black people to amuse them, not challenge them. You don't even see the irony of your comment given the trailer that was posted in the article.
