White Brits (who in migration become Americans, Canadians, Aussies and New Zealanders) have had a long tradition of pillaging the Africanized cultural treasure chest. Things like punk, often described as a white working class genre, have a foundation in the yardie culture of Jamaicans and the accompanying sound of…

I may not have been an honorary Lesbian Shitass™ for long, but I am forever. Thank you all!

The problem isn’t the enjoyment or even use of ideas outside of your natural milieu; the fact that people learn and grow from one another and enjoy each other’s cultures is, to state it plainly, beautiful. But black people have reason to fear that this will turn out to be an uneven trade. Some people will benefit from…

I just can’t star this enough. I’m the first to admit that Gawker, Jezebel, Deadspin, they’ve made a couple of mistakes in the years since I’ve been reading here, but I honestly can’t think of one other news/social/aggregator site that hasn’t made poor choices and suffered setbacks as a result.

I am of the belief that it’s not so much that black audiences don’t want white artists exploring a black sound: the issue is that white artists can be bad while employing black style and still be successful.

I love this place. I’ve been here for years and I intend to be here no matter what happens. This whole thing just makes me ill. I feel legitimately nauseous.

Don’t underestimate the lenghths people will go to try to stop Hillary. I don’t think the circus is over yet. But I’m pretty confident Hillary will be the next President, but it’ll be a rough road.

Exactly! I was wondering when Jezebel was going to look favorably on the possibility of our first female president...

Yes we are. Get hype.

Are we allowed to be excited yet? I have a two year old daughter and this is just such a huge thing for her generation. She gets to grow up knowing you don’t have to be a white male to be president.

You know, his father is right. We do need to have a discussion about alcohol and campus culture.

Even if it’s true he was taking care of the boy, we can’t read his mind. He’s a wild animal and it could have turned ugly in an instant. We just don’t know and all these “what ifs” aren’t helping anyone.

Duh, the real criminals here are the parents who dared to look away for a second. I’ve also been told by about a MILLION people on another thread that helicopter parents, not guns, are to blame for the UCLA student who killed their professor, then themselves. Don’t watch your kids close enough? Burn the witch! Watch…

I think we’re all missing the most offensive bit of what he said, which is that Adam Levine is a film actor capable of self analysis.

I was going to say in response to this Emilia Clarke nonsense that of they’re going to make Bond a woman, it damn well better be Gillian Anderson, but I would 100% be stoked about Gwendoline Christie too.

Gwendoline Christie as Bond is an incredibly cool idea.

Did you ever read Dave Eggers’ memoir “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius”? His brother is named “Toph” and as I was reading along I thought, “Well, that’s a funny thing for a parent to name a child, maybe it’s a reference to ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Star Wars’ or something?”

You know what, this was still classier than about 80% of everything Trump has said and done throughout the campaign thus far.
