Yeah. It’s the free porn.

Yeah, that kind of sounded like bullshit. “We just checked for anyone who ever linked or liked a Worldstar Hip Hop clip”.

But still pretty accurate I bet.

And I don’t accept that feminism was a direct cause of Playboy ceasing to feature nudes. I think the decision had a lot more to do with the changes brought by the internet in the form of free porn, customizable to just about any taste and kink. How could Playboy compete with that?

How do you know it was a white marketing team?

Who Doesn’t!

Serious degrees are sexist, racist and transphobic.

Well, I can tell you one thing that has changed. Serious students pursuing degrees in hard sciences have to study in locked rooms so that BLM people will not barge in and scream at them. And the environment on campus is like that in China in the early days of the Cultural Revolution. At any time you could find…

The article never even mentions Saldana being “not black enough.”

Would a troll concede points in the discussion and try to find a middle ground? I don’t know why you feel the need to stalk me on here, bob! I hope it brings you some form of satisfaction.

Nor would I try. Nina Simone wasn’t “traditionally” beautiful. In her time, she could never have achieved the kind of cross-over appeal that someone like Diana Ross, (a more “white” looking beauty), took for granted. Her voice wasn’t traditionally beautiful either. She never fit into a radio/tv friendly niche like…

Contrary to popular thought, not everyone with a dissenting opinion is a troll.

OK. I concede your point, but still ask, how closely must she resemble Nina to be deemed adequate? And again I ask, in a world with millions of examples of more blatant and dangerous racism, why is this the one that gets so many people riled up? I feel as if there’s a race on to see who can prove they’re the most…

If casting a “white-featured” black actress to portray a black woman is racist, exactly how, “black-featured” does the correct choice need to be? How many millimeters wide must her nose be? How dark must her skin be?How closely must the actor resemble the represented figure to be socially just?

Agreed. Cruz is more dangerous than Trump in my opinion. It’s both that Cruz believes what he says, but also that he believes God is behind his entire life. He believes God made him a politician. I can’t even imagine that kind of arrogance, but there it is.

Ted Cruz is a very scary guy because he believes ALL the stuff he spouts, as opposed to Trump, who is basically in it for the ratings and will say — whatever — to be in the spotlight every day. Cruz is a True Believer.

Quoting directly from your post:

Normal men don’t. Fucking horrible men do. If normal men did this, it wouldn’t even be news. This is an absolute aberration.

Acknowledging your daughter is a sexual being is one thing, and is probably good for maintaining a healthy relationship. But yeah. I... don’t actually think that normal men look at their daughters as potential sexual partners. In fact, I would argue that that would then classify that man as “not normal.”

I have 3 girls.
