I've only seen it once and it was her commentary on the black lives matter movement, so I stopped looking at it. I read her book, 'Science… for Her!,' though. It was meh; had its moments. What else am I going to do drunk in a Motel 6 in the middle of winter?

Great Job, Internet! does like to toss word salad.

Too bad Frank Langfitt is in London now. He could have tracked her down and gotten an exclusive interview.

As Secretary of the Navy, he helped set up a policy of entrapment to out gay sailors, who were then arrested and had their lives ruined afterward. In order to entrap suspected "deviants" he enlisted other sailors to engage in homosexual acts with them so that he could have the "proof" he needed. Presumably, this…

So, the best way to combat body shaming is not to say that looks aren't what's most important, or it's what's on the inside that counts, or who you are as a person, or what you do with your life, yadda, yadda, yadda, but to keep the focus squarely on her body and tell a woman she "still looks fine"? Who knew!

To be fair, I thought Rent was terrible when it first came out.

Are you just asking if I think that many black women are still struggling and that society, as a whole, still has a long way to go to fight this injustice? Yes, of course. Are you asking if I think that they're struggling more than any other group, as the phrasing implies? If so, I reject the phrasing of the…

Fair enough, bad phrasing. Not so much, but what I said below was that statement was made in a particular time and place and it kind of seems particularly out of place in this video. I mean, honestly though, I'm even kind of against the statement in context for the same reason.

Not high, don't know who Bill James is. I'm just saying that's the ugly subtext of assigning value statements to social injustice and how ridiculous hyperbole sounds in that situation.

The value statement of, "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman," that you said is hyperbole, makes it a value judgement and puts it in the camp of the latter. So, by that logic, disrespecting white women, let's say that's a 7. Disrespecting non-black minority women, maybe that's an 8, I don't…

Hyperbole has a time and place; assigning value judgements to social injustices is not such a place. It has the (admittedly oftentimes potentially unintended) effect of devaluing others and dismissing their experiences.

Let's back up. That quote that she chose to use is explicitly saying that her particular oppressed group has it worse than every other oppressed group. Do you agree with that statement? Not just, "[b]eing a black woman in America has always been, and still is, a horribly shitty, difficult proposition," I agree with…

She's the one making the value judgement. "Most disrespected," "most unprotected," and "most neglected" are value statements and I just inherently reject any kind of victim exceptionalism like that. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

Malcom X made this statement at a particular time and within a particular context and I think it's a little disingenuous for Beyonce to appropriate it. Also, that kind of victim exceptionalism always just rubs me the wrong way. I find it equally as divisive as the shit that comes out of Trump's mouth. Not only are…

"The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman."

I've always been a fan of Channel 101's Puppet Rapist, so I'll give this a shot.

This was a long way to go for an article. She's from Rhode Island, which is at about 55 degrees on this map (and outside), so… not too hot, not too cold. All I need is a light jacket for my walk home.

Saw these guys in concert back in the day. David Yow was piss drunk, took a stage dive, and thew up on the audience. I was far enough away from the splatter to remember this event fondly.

I went to a burlesque show with a Weird Al tribute in Boston a few years ago. Suck it, DC!!!

Which one?!?! Ahem… I mean, good sir, do you happen to recall in which volume you saw such a thing?
