I don’t understand how being mourned by nonblack people even comes into this? She was black. I’ve never seen anyone say anything else.  This hot take seems to say that if white people enjoy your art then it somehow detracts from it? 

Uhh… Destiny’s child? And where did you find people who thought Aaliyah was white?

Why edit and correct when you can just hit “post”?! Jez is essentially just a group chat without any comments allowed now :

Just to clarify (and I know, I am *that* guy) but Columbus never really made it to the continental USA. Which is why (in addition to so many other problematic reasons) Columbus Day is a dumb holiday. But by the same reasoning— he didn’t really have a hand in the destruction of North American Indian culture. Other…

Or... you can just google the name and quickly see he’s a white man?

Meanwhile, the family of this white girl, with a white name seems to be...not charged?  Doesn’t make either any better than the other, but uhhhh...?

Luckily, I live in a state that has a great healthcare program and one of the nurses signed me up for it while I was there... without that, the bill for two nights in the ER was supposed to be $40,000!
