I disagree. People cheat all the time. The majority of people in monogamous relationships have cheated at some point. Cheating is a widespread term though. It can range from online flirting, sexting, skyping, hiring cam girls to having flirtatious relationships to actual sex. All of that is considered cheating by someo…
Who knows? Thing is, I think Kara is too young to remember that people clutching their pearls over music is nothing new. Ten years ago, remember the uproar the Dixie Chicks caused? People were gathering their CDs to trash them? Twenty years “gangster rap” and “sex rap” bands like 2 Live Crew had a whole court fiasco…
why is this non story getting attention?
Black people acting like Fox News is representative of all white people is like white people assuming Tyler Perry is the pinnacle of black culture. Really pretty dumb and a sign of not being exposed to much outside of their specific circle.
I don’t care if she calls out white people — fuck there are appropriate reasons to do so. As Louis CK said we have pretty much ass fucked the planet for our own benefit and eventually the rest of the planet will do the same. The problem is — this is not the reason. I don’t know a single person who gave a shit about…
I’m white and I run to it at the gym and I didn’t realize people thought I shouldn’t. Man, what would we do without social media to tell us what to think about stuff?!
While this may have come from a twitter/facebook reaction, it’s made its way from there into non-internet discourse.
Why do you think that if you’re white and you have an opinion and you voice it, you’re “trying to control the conversation”? You’re not telling anyone to shut up or being disrespectful or claiming your voice carries more weight than others’, so why on earth would you feel that way?
Maybe it’s living in NYC but I don’t know a single person who got offended or felt threatened by Beyonce’s video.
It is super corporate though. Because Beyonce is super corporate, and at this point she’s really more of a brand than a real person. Every aspect of her public image is carefully calculated and controlled. So naturally her activism is too, or her feminism. There’s nothing organic or authentic about her. But that’s the…
I agree......I’m willing to bet the average person saw the Super Bowl performance and thought “Michael Jackson tribute/cool dancing/oh it’s her new song/Bruno Mars!/Coldplay meh.”
Given that 249 million Americans identify as white I think the general consensus to the video was no one gave a flying fuck.
Yeah I don’t get that either. To me, Beyonce as a Black Panther is as credible as Rage Against the Machine as Cuban revolutionaries - i.e. not at all.
Moments like this I realise I live in a very sheltered liberal bubble. Maybe it’s living in NYC but I don’t know a single person who got offended or felt threatened by Beyonce’s video. Also, who the hell are these people? The video and song are catchy and yeah the political elements are there but they’re pretty light…
Actually, *some* white people went into defense mode. Given that 249 million Americans identify as white I think the general consensus to the video was no one gave a flying fuck. Don’t believe twitter or the media as representing any one single race of people.
He’s the face of the franchise. Handle it like an adult. Answer questions like it’s your job to. (It is.) And don’t get up and walk away in a huff when you don’t like what you’re being asked. Cam wants the spotlight and that doesn’t mean he can just have it when everything is sunshine and lollipops. He’s a crybaby.
Jim Kelly in the post game press conference after Super Bowl 28 (I can’t find video because it was from 1992):
I don’t know about others, but this is how Russell Wilson reacted at his post-game press conference after what was a much more heartbreaking SB loss than the Panthers just faced:
Honestly, you can’t just say “vast majority of players.” Your point of comparison HAS to be the star/face of the team.
