People aren’t writing it off because it’s just “a guy,” but rather because it’s this guy.

We should perhaps have the FBI do the nominating since they insist on controlling who is elected.

And the previous occupants were POC.

They like power too much. Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing and isn’t smart so he’s going to be transformed into a figurehead ASAP - so they can just pass their plain old vanilla world-raping agenda in peace.

Um, maybe she was distracted because she lost her father on Friday?

The left in America - even activists like BLM - don’t like it when you remind them that they are just as self-centred and America centric as the republicans.

She’s so heavy handed and incapable of nuancing her thoughts which is why I like her much more as a musician than as a social/political commentator. However I think this is a dumb reaction on behalf of the festival. She made a valid point, for several reasons. One, she pointed out that for Americans - even activists -…

Are you making some sort of joke? Dismissing this very recent history because “as a child of Africa” you have some sort of hunch that we’d all come together in a happy felabration-like chorus.? How? And why? What evidence do you have to support this and What makes you think the entire continent would function this way?

Did I ever say that Africans have a right to insult or disrespect African American struggles, sacrifices, oppression, or mock and take for granted their deaths at the hands of a state which benefited from their captivity, free labor, and misery? Did I ever say that Africans have a right to exploit anyone’s culture…

And I never ONCE disputed those FACTS (though I do question the notion that all of Africa betrayed all who were forced into slavery and their descendants). What I do dispute is the idea that Africans have a responsibility to black Americans which black Americans do not also owe Africa and Africans in turn. I do…

Convenient. According to your original logic, that statement does not apply both ways.

I don’t approve of her, and I think she is not that bright on those issues. But She is a migrant from a disfranchised country devastated by civil war, so I will grant her her view. And I don’t see why you need to be rude towards Afghans to make your point.

Ok-so now can we talk about black Americans playing dress up with African culture when it suits them—and discarding it when it doesn’t?

I think she was more addressing American privileges, and that the BLM movement forget the American foreign policy and foreign influences of which she is critical ? I like her music, so I might be biased.

Hence unliking and unfollowing the page, and indicating that I won’t be visiting the site if I haven’t seen a show, jackhole. I didn’t go reading any articles about last night’s episode or GoT in general. I didn’t click to read any comments. I opened my Facebook page and within hours of the show’s premiere, there was…

I’ve officially unfollowed you dickbags on social media. :( I’m really bummed about it, because I love seeing interesting Jez articles in my feed and it is a reminder to come check out the site. But this is the second time you included a major spoiler for a show I watch in a headline less than 24 hours after the show…

Thanks for the headline that spoiled GoT for me. I was reading another article and I refreshed the page and saw this.
Greetings from Europe, where we have to wait a day to get to watch the episode. Eff-you Jezebel, you’re from now on banned from my list of favorite websites to read with my morning coffee.

Americans pop off about shit in other countries all the time. We have debates with one-off questions about how to “solve” Syria. And someone who’s not American can’t express their opinion about the American Empire and its cultural hegemony? Because they might not be a PhD in American Self-Importance? Fuck outta…

It’s adorable because all of you Americans missed her really good point.

i.e. While Americans are talking about ensuring that black Americans’ lives matter, they still are doing shit all about the massive American military violence killing brown and black people all over the world.

She’s too woke for you.

African-American…
