It was a perfect storm of microaggression, a sloppy, wet “fuck you” to hip-hop culture and black men. Kendrick just happened to be a stand-in for Kanye.

I just wonder what she thought was gonna happen when she released this still.
Taylor Swift is the musical equivalent of Fireball Whiskey...popular..artificially sweet..terrible.
Yeah, this one needs to stay up because nothing, and I mean nothing, better captures white music than this statue. It’s all there.. overlord white man triumphantly self-satisfied with his own negro playing songs to make mighty white man feel better yes, but mostly to make mighty white man reel in hard owned money…
This is probably going to be one thing that is really going to gall the living shit out of Trump.
For me, as a white person watching, I felt a little... carnivorous? Like it was real black culture I was consuming, but prepared specially for a white palate. I’d contrast it with Tangerine, where I felt more like a witness rather than such a consumer. The show could probably never have been created by a non-black…
On my neighborhood, someone made a bunch of signs welcoming immigrants and offered them to everyone in our Next Door neighborhood. Most people replied with support, the people that didn’t got replies to their replies (“maybe you should post your address so these refugees can come and live with you”) full of…
Too bad someone didn’t give him a Third Reich in the kisser.
It’s totally Springtime for Hitler.
My money is on an NBC employee being disgusted with the network dragging its feet on releasing the video — NBC was otherwise not going to break it until after Sunday’s debate. But honestly, at this point I’d believe anybody.
He didn’t tweet for 11 hours. Some people are theorizing Ivanka took his phone away. I am chortling with cruel glee.
I’ve thought this from the beginning! He’s just a dick who wanted some more attention and said some crazy shit and it totally backfired and now he might have to be president!!!
I’m about half convinced that Trump leaked the video himself. And the three pages from his ‘95 tax returns (which were sent from Trump Tower). And possibly others, too.
One beautifully subtle recent example of shade:
A sick child like this is an enormous stressor for the most stable and secure of marriages. However, I’m sick to death of reading about entire families being wiped out by a man (presumably) who was under stress and/or abusive. A girl I grew up was murdered by her husband last year. He was apparently abusive for years.…
Fuck some sports. Why do we care about moving a ball from one place to another THAT ISN’T A THING THAT MATTERS and as for swimming I don’t care as long as nobody drowns it’s just a moment in time that passes and the only lingering mark one person being faster than another has left on the planet is in the insistence of…
Interesting (and encouraging!) to hear that his supporters are starting to get annoyed at him!
How does a 37 year-old woman in 2016 not know that this is offensive? Sincerely confused by this. And don’t say “Well she grew up around people like this” or “she’s from some idiotic all white town and doesn’t have any non-white friends” because there’s this thing called TV and movies and the news and various other…
I’ve always admired Frida Kahlo’s work, and the physical pain and injuries she endured, but I gained a new level of sympathy for her after seeing the DIA’s exhibit of work by Kahlo and Rivera. I had just moved to Detroit that year, I could understand how harrowing it would be to be torn away from friends, family, all…
Best sitting around lounge clothes: Target’s Gilligan & O’Malley pj’s line. SO SOFT.
