I mean, again, mostly the “that” and “which” scenario, that some words are so important as linking words that, if you start to meld them, you start drifting back into an imprecise English. I’m not talking about connotation, here, but about structure.

Well, I mean, with “that” versus “which,” it is (but hopefully not) being muddled, when people take a perfectly good distinction (and actually a manufacture of American thought), a perfectly good way to make it easier to decide between a person using the restrictive sense and the nonrestrictive, a tool, basically, and…

But who knows if there can be another word that can do that in the same way. I know, it’s stupid to think that maybe there can’t be another word, but “awesome” is a good word to use for these big things, and it’s sad to see it lose some of its bite, this way. It’s like saying all changes are good things, and while…

.

Not to say that “heart” is bad; I cry at movies, all the time, and cried at fucking (I mean, I shouldn’t even say “fucking,” because she was a tragic figure) Tonya Harding doing that perfect skate.

You know, I wonder.

I could see how that would be infuriating, but I guess I’m just not seeing the example for what you’r saying about it. That seems all par-for-the-course show remarks, for any show. I guess “social relevance” comes in for “black shows” more than white, but otherwise, I don’t know.

Who is saying it is foreign? In terms of, what? Like, that they are finally getting good reviews, you mean?

And yet it also seems to be so specific, you can’t use it about certain groups of people. Of course, “white racism” (i.e., racism towards white people) is not as big a problem as black or anything else, but I was told, before, and more than once, I think, that you can’t be racist against white people because they…

.

That said, I think “a racist” is sort of oversimplifying the deep, complex problem of racism, and I think anyone who is a racist might be better served if there were a more comprehensive study of it, in general, in the media, of racism itself.

Man, but you did.

No, yeah, I mean, I said that with the idea that, yeah, it can be surreal (and that’s why I said, “rarely does” instead of “doesn’t”), but I should have included that Seinfeld can be strange. Like the Bizarro George (and Jerry, et al.), and the episodes with the Van Buren Boys, and even, for example, the flamboyant…

That’s reasonable, that I should stop responding to your posts. That would be more reasonable, for me. I guess I just care about logic.

Okay, just, please, stop.

I mean, come on. Just because they are the “goofy guys” doesn’t mean they are the same, and to say so means you know nothing about (or little about) TV shows that you are talking about, or at least have not looked at them subtly.

“Folks rave about Seinfield but Atlanta and Insecure are shows that are in that same vein”

Again, I don’t know about Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. That may be “just the same” as Juno, although I doubt it—but Seinfeld and Atlanta are certainly different from Insecure, and from each other. Very much so.

Also, FUCK YOU.

Seinfeld was not the same as Atlanta, not even close, and Insecure is something different altogether.
