But Sir Mix-A-Lot says differently. I am not googling for the quote, but he explicitly said that he wanted to buck the beauty standard for ALL women, as well as celebrate Black beauty. I have a TON of gratitude and respect for Sir Mix-A-Lot for including ALL women in his thoughts. You mentioned down thread that he is…

Agreed. I am glad to see others here giving side-eye to Jezebel’s coverage of this. I actually panicked thinking I was appropriating and being all yucky racist. Glad to know others agree the song is about big butts in general, not only those of the darker shades.

Oh, no. We’re talking about the guy who plays Kyra’s father, whose name on the show escapes me. That image is MUCH larger than I intended. Sorry not sorry.

“Thong” is really the best typo ever when it comes to the subject of butts.

I’m right there with you, except for the ‘girl can sing’ part. I tried to listen to her at the behest of a friend (“...what do you mean you’ve never heard Rihanna?! OMG she’s soooo great you’ll love her! Here, listen!”), and I just couldn’t deal with her voice. I was actually shocked at how terrible it was, because I…

Okay so isn’t that pretty much what Sir Mix-A-Lot was going for with that lyric?

Please explain how her saying “LA face with an Oakland booty” is offensive in any way. It’s definitely lame, but is the level for internet outrage really so low?

All I can think of when I see concert videos

Errrr...wasn’t it a Jezebel writer (I’m forgetting which one) who wrote an entire post about this topic without any clue that BL was referencing the Sir Mix-a-lot song?

DON’T EVEN THINK IT

Jeep knew of the issues and there was a recall put out last month. But it’s my understanding that it hadn’t been picked up by major news sources yet. Andplusalso, I think that they don’t even have the parts widely available yet.

I’m frankly at the point where I don’t believe anything police say, especially when it involves a black person. I’m sure that the guy had some weird stuff lying around (I think it’s obvious the guy was pretty messed up), and maybe even stuff that some people think is disgusting (Robert Maplethorpe still gets a lot of…

I’m a Pulp fan and am surprised I never heard about this. Bless that man, I knew Jarvis Cocker was awesome, just never how much.

That’s not the same thing as being full of yourself...

I wonder if Tom’s the one who tipped them off? I’ve always sensed a slightly thirsty vibe off him......

i am not sure i can process this without knowing how adultosaur feels

I am 100% team TayTay on this. I mean hot damn girl, Get. It.

THE HOUR BETWEEN ME FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS AND IT BEING REPORTED ON JEZEBEL WAS THE HARDEST HOUR OF MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I AM SURPRISED I AM EVEN STILL ALIVE.

Thank you article for explaining Lean to me so this old lady didn’t have to go open Urban Dictionary in another tab.

Goddamn it. I’ve been taking codeine pills. WHERE DOES ONE GET THIS ‘LEAN’?!
