Betty Boop? Jessica Rabbit? They’re selling you what they think the fantasy is or trying to create the fantasy. And since they’re America’s train-wreck family everyone loves to hate, I guess they feel think it’s working for them.

It’s still all about presentation and not looking like you’re anti-whatever trend. Got to stay with the times! Panic mode! No custom tux! Black tux only!
The irony that people don’t want to discuss white privilege in a Native American-founded town should not go unnoticed.
I don’t care about eubonics. Totally agree w you there. I was painting a picture of how I realized I was being received, one of the things that put me in the ”safe” catgory. They can bring me to their families and no one’s going to be like, “Josh, who are you dating??” which, those experiences were from my early-mid…
Or if a kid goes for a teacher’s gun? That was one of my first thoughts.
Some people should just never go down that road. But it’s too late for him.
THANK YOU
Yes. Reperations.
I just feel like it’s the most... invisible thing to do compared to anything else they could have done and that no one actually cares if there aren’t articles for 3 hours. Granted I am not out feeding homeless women right now, but Jez actually has a platform. Turn the mic (so to speak) over to some of these…
It’s a very privileged thing to do to just stop working.
Loony Toons was one of my childhood Saturday morning favorites! I don’t think we can blame ourselves for being kids just trying to watch TV. It is what it is.
Also, for some reason Olyphant’s name has been in my head for the past couple days, but as Maria Bamford’s pronunciation: Oily-fant.
I wanted to like this show, but... yeah. I think I made it through 2-3 episodes and thought, “Someone really thought they were on to something here...” Released my disappointment, and moved on.
Bless you Michael. Whenever I wish I was a more notorious writer I think to myself, “No, you would probably kill every imbicile who took actual time out of their day to email you such gleaming illustrations of literal dumb shit. Then I would be a serial killer because there are a lot of stupid shits out there. And…
I’m so glad you made that choice for your kids. I hope the same for my future.
I find it extremely disturbing.
Here, my experience has been that I am a “safe” black person. The guy gets the optics of being inclusive or whatever, but without the stereotypes of black women or black people. He can take me out in public and I won’t be speaking eubonics or something. But then I get brushed off when the experiment is over and…
Totally agree.
This article is my whole “love life” in a nutshell. And I’m biracial. But I’m also trapped in MN so anything that doesn’t look like a raw potato is exotic around here. But I’m so over it, you don’t even know. I actually can’t wait for some poor clown to come stumbling through again so I can throw my wig in his face.
Clicking this story open, I realized I hadn’t seen her face in a while. Now all the confusion and disgust is rushing back. Who is this person? Where did she come from? Who raised her? Why? It’s like she was formed from mud in the den of iniquity.
