No, you're right. Jezebel is just determined to believe that a basic bitch is just a Becky. They cannot be stopped. We're watching them make fetch happen, at this point.

Okay, so when white people unintentionally misuse a term it's not a fuckup, it's the magical transformative property of white linguistics. Seems legit.

You have just ruined the Monday of all the Jezebel readers who totally totally GET black people because they too have felt the pain of systematic discrimination... kind of... from a distance... maybe. They love that one black actress from 12 Years A Slave because she is like, SOOO pretty guys—and real, too!

yeah you just screwed up every woman's idea of the term basic bitch.....its far from this extremely large and confusing definition that you have given and to clarify I'm from Brooklyn NY born and raised as well as my mother and sister. Your "Brooklyn basic chick" sounds like a girl who moved from LA and has no idea…

I loved the comment and it deserves a million stars, but this is probably the wrong audience — it's like throwing PERLs before swine.

I'm not sure when Basic Bitch stopped meaning a woman who thinks she's the shit but isn't, and started meaning Generic Middle Class White Girl.

Bros are just male Basic Bitches.

I don't think you guys understand what 'basic bitch' actually means.

Which leaves one very important question:

We have been Columbused once a-gain.

I've never even seen Jez use it correctly. They've coopted it without ever really grasping the meaning of the phrase. Basic bitch : Jezebel :: Shade : Rich Juzwiak. :/

Alright Black People basic bitch is officially dead. Meet me over at #blacktwitter in 2o min to discuss new alternatives, b/c thot is also on it's way out.

Bros are just male Basic Bitches.

Jezebel Basic

There are two types of women in NYC white Brooklyn women and white manhattan women the rest of us are just the help.

(I use NYC because I know it... but this works on a macro level too)

What a horribly misguided post. It doesn't mater what gender you are, Melo isn't going to pass.

If they insist on playing basketball with men, they have to expect that the men are going to treat them no differently. So, sorry ladies, but Carmelo Anthony isn't going to pass you the ball, either.

Not surprised to see that his base is so...free.

You can borrow mine, I'm hardly using it.

Swedish designers came up with their own simple, well-designed and inexpensive way to watch the games. Unfortunately, no one can figure out how to put the goddamn thing together.
