You guys do realize that it’s possible to write a show that adequately addresses both race and gender simultaneously, right? The two issues aren’t mutually exclusive.

nah, take out anything to do with singing/dancing whatever. They are just contract workers who took a contract. added a stipulation that they could break the contract with 30 day notice and decided to use that clause. Considering the fact that in almost every state in the US they could have had their contracts…

My brother is a choreographer, they definitely have other dancers on standby that they can call at a moment’s notice for whatever reason. Dancers leave tours all the time for various reasons, there’s always a contingency plan. A lot of the time there’s a rotation of dancers from various tours from the same artist, so…

Really? Reading this put me firmly on Katy’s side.It reads like Taylor treats her backup dancers like props and Katy treated them like people.

Well, if a contingency plan was in their contract, then Swift’s people would’ve known from the beginning that there’s a chance they could leave.

Also, how do you know that? Lots of reports say she did - http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.36534/title.nicki-minaj-bails-out-brother-charged-with-raping-child#

Yeah but she’s defending him, so she has made herself a part of it.

It’s great that she’s doing this, it really is, but there’s truth about what you heard. She never addressed her brother’s issue and fair, she can’t be held accountable for his mistakes, but this silence of her and the fact that she bailed him out and has been paying for his defense is just an indirect act of violence…

I have heard some people say that Nicki is doing all charity to deflect from her brother legal issues.

That “Spotify barely pays artists” thing is complete bullshit. It’s the music labels who keep most of the money paid by streaming platforms.

Actually the French movie industry has never been better. Theater sales are on the rise.

Wait...wait...so you’re saying he’s a pleasant human being...different than the negative snap judgments the internet makes about everyone around Swift? This... is blowing... my mind.

The actor is obviously Jeff Goldblum

I agree with this. No offense meant to Kaine, but she needed someone that brought real energy to the campaign. When I saw that, I got a sinking feeling

I never felt like she was a strong contender. Most HRC supporters I knew (including myself) were reluctant to vote for her and felt like she would not take the country where we needed​ to go. On the flip side of that, plenty of people loathed HRC and they were legion. And I’m not in a conservative bastion. I never…

Personal assessment but not personal opinion: I thought Hillary Clinton was doomed from the start because a.) she is a women and America is frighteningly too patriarch still, b.) she is a Clinton, one that has her own named dragged through the mud as well as her husband, and c.) She had already lost to President…

When did I get the feeling? When Obama made her Secretary of State in 2009.

I got nervous when I never heard from her campaign. I live in a swing state, have been active in politics (including running a canvassing operation for Obama), and actually was a statewide delegate for Bernie. And yet I never got a single call from her campaign asking me to volunteer or even vote.

I was shocked that she lost, but upon reflection, two things stuck out to me:

No matter how much I joked about how Trump had “no chance,” I knew deep down that he did for the simple reason that it’s mainstream and “cool” to not like Hillary. We can debate how she lost all we want, but the simple fact is that she’s a deeply uncool and unlikable woman. Unlikable men sometimes get a chance (look…
