One thing I feel like is missing from these comments and the article. Is that the sculpture was pushed as “part playground.” Can you imagine installing a replica of a Nazi crematorium in the same way and not consulting any Jewish groups?

His first line isn’t supporting her, it’s supporting his preference for a diversity drive. Right from the get go it’s already clear that he prefers a different direction to hers even if it’s under the banner of ‘diversity’ and therefore there are cracks before it even starts.

I don’t see Will Smith and Chastain “fighting.” I see him agreeing with her and you trying to make it a wedge issue between them.

2 women in 60 years. 0 black women. Not sure how many black men. When does the “gradual process” start?

One thing that continually bugs is the way press will ask Ava duvernay or Ryan Coogler or other black and female directors about diversity in hiring and casting. Why are you asking the people who are doing the work? Why not ask Wes Anderson, sofia coppola, the cohen brothers, and so many others about why they can’t…

I didn’t mean for you to think I was engaging in a conversation with you. I was shitting on you for being a loser. Sorry to get your hopes up of human interactions.

Jokes are intended to be funny. You didn’t tell any jokes. Me being called a racist, by you of all people, carries zero weight. As far as spending time combatting other racism in this world, I won’t bore you with the details.

Invoking race when it is not germane to the conversation is a racists maneuver. Not being white is irrelevant. Being stupid, as you are, is quite.

Pretty sure the Root would appreciate a young black superstar, while rightfully roasting your racist ass.

I can see it now, Merkel will go up to Trump and extend her hand to grab him by the balls, ‘cause when you are famous, you can do that’

Strictly speaking, it is shady to create a deceptive creation myth that tries to contextualize the original work as a piece of kitsch by an anonymous artist when you know full well that it’s something else.

Holy shit, I normally like what you write, but this entire comment is so ignorant of the context of Warhol/Lichtenstein that it almost reads as parody

In Russia, bears much smaller. Also, more hair. Less lurking.

Wait... we’re really wondering why someone who was sentenced to 5 years for stealing $120 would be afraid of standing trial for armed robbery?

Bullshit. People plea to shit they didn’t do all the time in order not to get convicted of something else they didn’t do.

But if you can write a check that clears, suddenly you’re a good driver and no longer a menace on the roads?

Progressive. MRA. Pick one.

Um, if it had nothing to do with the city, then why is the T-Rex short for Torontosauras Rex, idiot.

It’s working out great for us. Thanks.
