We live in a non-stop circus.

From the rare times I go to twitch I cant even read what the chat is saying! Its either just walls and walls of texts or just walls of emoji going at a super fast speed.

why is twitch chat the worst? it’s a major turn off. i’m not that into watching streamers in the first place, but toxic ass communities just make it that much harder to give it a chance.

This has been a hell of a week for people who like to make “America loves...except for....” observations.

Lando is the LGBTQ character?

So I see she’s already had some coffee.

That’s like every Dunkin Donuts in New England after 10 p.m.

“I told by Applecare that I could walk in the store and get the part!”

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

I want to interview an American politician, ask him his religion (it’s probably going to be Christian), then read him a bible verse about rape, or murder, or rape-murders, or genocide, or slavery.

yeah, conflating Black nerds with MRAs or incels is pretty shitty. I didn’t think black girls didn’t like me because I thought I was “owed” a black girlfriend—I thought they didn’t like me because I was an awkward, skinny black boy who didn’t play sports, didn’t really listen to rap (at the time), didn’t dress like a

I was ready to create an account or do whatever was needed in order to reply because your comment is the most complete, rational, reasonable, and sensible opinion on the matter that I have read.
It was a privilege to read and I thank you.

Thank you! Finally a sensible voice that gets to the heart of the stupidity of this nonsense. This site used to be my homepage. But for the past year or so some of the content here, and comments almost border on some sort of covert state of “anti-blackism”. Seems like strong attempts are made to appeal to a certain

This is, quite frankly, bullshit. I’m a blerd and I have lots of blerd friends from college and beyond. We dated, we turned it out, we partied, we got married, some of us have babies.

The article should’t even have to be written! My whole point is that folks are even having this conversation, not the conclusions they’re coming to. Reading is indeed fundamental. Why are we debating this in 2018?

What do you mean you can’t make art for black people and have toxic views about black women? Have you listened to music? Future, Kendrick Lamar, pick your favorite rapper. They’re ALL saying toxic shit in their art. I haven’t seen the #CancelFuture train and we KNOW he was abusive. R.Kelly only has fans because of

You can’t write 3 paragraphs and call it a non-comparison. A non-comparison would involve not writing about Elliot Roger in a piece about black men at all.

No, that’s my entire point, I actually had a longer post that included incels and edited it down. It’s just an absurd argument. How you even begin to compare blerds to Incels I have no fucking clue. It’s intellectually dishonest and InCels are a terrorist movement. The author should be embarrassed by that comparison.

Dark skin privilege only works for athletes and singers. Otherwise, I have the "privilege" of:
