The look on Glover’s face during the second retelling was priceless. My favorite line of the season was when Darius said something outrageously racist, and told Earn to look it up. “Look it up where? In the Racist Dictionary?” I still chuckle over that. Also, I am sure some people in my FB feed actually have a copy of…

i miss the old jezebel

You’re not wrong to say this smells funny, but there is no way to separate this into one part “serious racial discrimination” and one part “less so, but still serious gender discrimination” without reducing the former. Let’s not reduce this. Not one bit.

As a man, I have a great idea.
If women would like to be heard more in the workplace, when one woman makes a point, the other women in the room should reiterate the idea and credit the initial speaker.

How fascinating that being your kid’s best friend is the reason Katie Holmes is a 5/5 mom and Jada Pinkett Smith is a 1/5 mom. I wonder what on earth the difference between these two women could possibly be to provoke such disparate reactions to the same information. Hmmm.

No, no flaming - just a giggle. You really think we all failed to see any irony here? In fact, we are getting a deep pleasure out of the turnabout. See, here’s the thing... reading Thighlights on Jez was the first time in 30-some-odd years on this earth that I’d ever seen women talking about male athletes this way. I…

A lot of commenters are really missing the point that the mothers of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin*, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and on and on and on managed not to attack any reporters even when they began flocking to report on their children’s deaths. There is another factor besides grief here, and it’s called whiteness.…

I’mma need Iggy to go back through her timeline...

So the writer admits it’s all in their own head, because they were coming to the viewing of this with that horror in mind already? I suppose that’s good to know.

We’re gonna get flooded with all these Cuban cigars and there will be a whole cigar renaissance

They also did a sketch about Tidal that was just an excuse to have Ariana whip out her vocal impressions again.

How do you feel about Eric Garners daughter stumping for Bernie? Or is recruiting those affected by violence only ok when it’s the candidate you like?

There’s a double standard here, too. White musicians wear Che Guevara t-shirts so much it’s a cliche and nobody thinks it’s much more than a fashion statement, but Beyoncé puts her dancers in black berets and suddenly she’s a full-on Black Panther? It’s ridiculous.

The fact that it was barely satire tho.

Are you talking about Beyond the Lights? Such an underrated movie. I’ve forced all my friends to watch it. It really warmed my cynical heart. And Gina Prince-Bythewood directed it! Hopefully more people will see it since it is on Netflix.

Or Luke Cage’s treatment in Jessica Jones—white female lead, black male love interest, where their story is about who they are and not bound in racial dynamic or fetishization in either direction.

does she? do you have any pics? i need them for... uh... science.

Wow. That’s so much worse than I thought it could be.

But this doesn’t appear to be a book about Black people who happened to be slaves, living their day to day lives, experiencing diverse human emotions. This appears to be a book about good guy George Washington, told through the eyes of his slaves. That’s not right.
