Whitlock is an excellent example of a person who has consistently failed upwards and stumbled into celebrity and some measure of wealth. And to that end I wonder if his Uncle Ruckus schtick is a calculated attempt at shoring up his own professional shortcomings (mediocre writer, uninteresting TV pundit, failed editor…

It’s been something sports columnists types have done for a long time I think.
Quickest way to “assimilate” in this god forsaken country? Anti-Blackness.
Car companies tried to make their software, and thus any third party repairs, off limits. Imagine not being able to rebuild an engine or transmission, but being forced to buy it from a dealer
I’m too busy being stunned by the decision to properly celebrate.
I’m tempted to sneak a Shrink-Wrap Agreement into my next student loan payment. Something like, “by accepting and/or depositing this payment, lender agrees borrower’s obligation is forgiven in perpetuity and borrower’s credit report will show ‘paid in full’.”
As someone who buys literally every prescription they take from international pharmacies... hooray!
I feel like the lack of comments on this article means that people didn’t realize the gravity of this case. Had the court ruled in Lexmark’s favor, it would have opened the door for all sorts of chicanery from companies sneaking anti-reselling language into their EULA’s. We dodged a major bullet here, people.
You’re spouting the same dipshit racist “the pipeline is the problem” bullshit that all the tech heads do. It’s amazing how white people only tend to hire white people and select “model” minorities, but the problem is the pipeline! I’ve heard that a million times and it never spots being racist.
Newsflash: Black people are everywhere and jobs are everywhere. No one is forced to live in a particular area. THIS black person lives in San Francisco. So fuck outta here with your racist bullshit. Go find some other place to pat yourself on the back for your “liberal” beliefs
Sure, call yourself a “liberal” engineer and drop racist gems like:
Or you could look at it as, “50% of black STEM graduates are unemployed or underemployed.” If that were happening to anyone else in an industry as booming as tech is, no one in their right mind would treat it as anything less than a crisis. Location isn’t an excuse because Millennials are mobile, and companies expect…
There are some shows that, due to the rare exposure they receive in the mainstream, result in viewers assuming that their television portrayals will provide a glimpse inside the culture that the show portrays. A perfect example of this is Sons of Anarchy. Far be it from a member of Hell’s Angels to pen a letter to…
Honestly, in decades — and of course this is just anecdotal — I have never met a black hair stylist who can’t do white hair. For one thing, a lot of caucasians’ hair mimics the texture of chemically-treated black hair, which black stylists work on all day long. And black hair texture varies wildly, so they’re used to…
Newsflash; most makeup artists work in a multitude of mediums; runway/fashion, print/photography, film and television, red carpet, bridal, etc. Forget about retail counters (where lots of artists work to help pay the bills), where every skin type and tone and age and gender and its grandmother approaches you. Not…
Oh, give me a break. It has been a given for at least twenty years that most runway shows will have at least one black model. There’s ridiculous tokenism at play, absolutely, but at this point there’s nothing revolutionary, surprising or pioneering about there being dark skin in need of makeup at a fashion show.
Hahahahahaha. Hey guys, this is her “’Black people age good. Ur welcome 4 the compliment I’M NOT RACIST!” post.
It was one thing to expect a pioneer like Iman to go the extra mile as she broke through into areas of the industry where few, if any, black models had worked before. It’s quite another thing to say that, DECADES LATER, models should still be demurely and quietly making up for the other people’s inability to adjust.…
It is no surprise that skin has many colors. A person who shows up unable to accommodate human skin is neither an “artist”, nor a “professional”.
