Because that’s the only way they can defend nonsense like that: just claim that those who complain don’t understand the super new and totally unique art of satire.

If you have to explain the joke, it’s not funny. She failed miserably on this one- and she failed at a time when she needed to hit the mark.

“It’s satire” would have worked if she hadn’t concluded the bit by saying we should stay home and ignore them.

(It’s also kinda interesting to see the criticism of the Fey criticism coming down to “well, y’all just don’t understand satire.” Like people who called her out just aint smart enough to get it.)

The thing is that I could read what her but as both ways: satire on white privileged or just wanting “good people” to stay at home and not get hurt. It was a sloppy bit. And that’s why I’m all for people calling her out on it. Too many people are like, “yes, let’s stay home and not pay attention to these nazis.” -_-

And I’ve seen other people point out that if it is satire, it’s satire that completely misses the mark. It failed to point out the pointless stupidity of what she was proposing.

I’m only replying because you’re not in the greys so I’m assuming you’re not a troll. I never said all white people, I said white people. Yes, I made a generalization about a theory I have and I didn’t say some b/c I’m fairly certain it’s not an insignificant amount of white people. If I’d been specific and said, oh…

Uh...

it’d be nice not to be insulted, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t make that sentiment known grow a thicker skin.

No, I’m gonna go right out and say all white people. Even the “good” ones. And I have a rather unique perspective on this as I’m mexican but white passing, but I wasn’t always white passing I lost my pigmentation in highschool due to a skin condition. So i’ve been on both sides of the racist fence I’ve seen how…

I think... just take a step back on this one, buddy.

There is a part of me that wishes we could keep just a little quieter about *whispers* the BP movie … just like I really really wish Stephen Thrasher had been a little less “nyah nyah-nyah nyah nyah” about the coming N. American demographic shift in his book. Because it brings out that very crappiness of which you…

Also, you generally don’t just accidentally bop onto that campus, especially if you’re doing the usual tourist route along the mall. So girls, what’s the story?

Forget a technicality - they had to cheat to “win” AND they had to call in outside help.

They just can’t deal with the fact they won on a technicality so everyone knows they’re losers really.

This is an aspect of this that keeps getting missed. Fuckers, you won. And yet they are still out here bashing Obama and Hillary every single day. I think it’ because they know deep in their hearts that their president ain’t shit. He doesn’t really give them anything to be proud of other than their hate for the…

Yeezus, of course they would make everything all about them. They are the sorest fucking “winners” of all time.

I know Howard’s campus.
