It’s very simple: don’t say the word when singing the song. Just skip the word. That’s it.

Huh? Who are these people from Splinter bringing their asses over here?

Shut the fuck up.

I need somebody to come get her like yesterday.

Imagine being such a giant fucking cunt that you go around spouting this kind of bullshit. Cunt.

Imagine being so collectively clever and correct in your assessment, that you force 2 public apologies from a celebrity. You’ll probably never have to meet them or patronize their content.

Imagine verbally checking someone without even being in the room, lmao.

Imagine being so deficient at basic human decency that you ran over here to mock the calling out of an anti-Black celebrity. 

We could repeat the Maya Angelou line ad nauseam but I think we need to accept that this is not foot in mouth disease this woman doesn’t care about the concerns of black folks. It is one thing to be blissfully unaware it is another to continue to perform blatant acts of disrespect and then double down when called out…

It always makes me wonder what the writer is up to. I agree with the other commenters that “getting paid by the word” and “trying to feel glamorous” are good explanations, along with “look how normal this celebrity is!” and “look how eloquently I can describe this very mundane scene.”

Honestly, this is the best and only take on the matter.

Did you actually follow the link to see the pic?

This is the TRAUMA talking on the part of the family.

The presentation of Jean’s act of forgiveness and the ensuing reaction was immediately reminiscent of when the survivors of the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., publicly forgave Dylann Roof.

“Third-world” fuck you. 

“It is what it is” for a particular set of historical and enforced reasons ... and those reasons are at bottom genocidal and wrong.
