I was commenting on just the headline since it conflated grades with being smart. We all know that’s a flawed argument and I was just pointing it out. It’s the reason why I included the actual text of the headline in my comment.

The same logic is used to show white people are more intelligent than black people. Grades do not equal intelligence

Bro, yes. I’m not saying men are smarter. That’s a dumb statement. What I am saying, in totality, is that grades don’t equal intelligence and anyone saying otherwise is mistaken. The author of this article is using grades to buttress an argument using flawed methodology. Women have, on average, better grades than men…

A new study affirms what many of us already know to be true: Men have an inflated sense of intelligence over women that hasn’t been earned.

I think it’s worth saying that high grades do not denote intelligence. Likewise, low grades don’t mean a person is stupid. The correlation is tenuous as best and can be destructive to a person’s sense of self-worth especially considering how some people learn may not be best served in a traditional classroom…

I dont think he owes the public an apology or explanation (that hed probably still be criticized for anyway) for something that happened when he was 20. Youre right, what he did was very screwed up. Its also the only documented event of that nature from him. Im sure there were other hazing bullshit prior to this…

“Brotherhood” always seems to involve a lot of heavy homoerotic kink. Leading your slave around with a clawhammer hooked under his balls, eh? And these are the future captains of industry, oh, and did they mention they donated $500 to charity? Seems a lot more like the Folsom Street Fair to me.

I dont know how much can reasonably expect him to say about something that happened almost 30 years ago. When I first heard about it I was taken aback but, yeah, he took part in a shitty terrible thing decades ago. If there was a documented history of violent behavior in the years since (Im unaware of anything else)…

Silicon Valley, the late 2010s. Patrick Bateman sits at a conference table with his fellow venture capitalists. He removes a platinum sculpture from his briefcase. One of his colleagues leans across, smirking.

This. They will first run out of ammo and then the turbines will go. Even the Humvees are a pain to maintain. They are better off selling them and taking the cash to buy some HiLuxes.

Steadfastly and stubbornly refusing to let go of the past is basically France’s national pastime.

Asiago Sargento wants to know why she can’t get work in Hollywood.

“During the scene she wouldn’t call CUT , so the main actor almost fainted and he took it on me,” she writes. “We got in a ‘fist fight’ while Breillat sneered in the back.”

The fact is, humans (male, female, whatever) in positions of power often abuse those positions... Especially in an industry like Hollywood where power dynamics are even more messed up than the average career. One individual can have a tremendous amount of power over an entire production, entire careers, etc.

Because that is what makes the song enjoyable to white people. Gorging on the forbidden fruit that is the n-word.

It has been reported here, Jezebel, and the Root that white women have no fucking shame. Get several like-minded ones in a group over 3 and they don’t give a FUCK. That applies to every situation in the world.

Because when you grow up with it being normal in your culture... and remember rap went mainstream in the 90's, and mainstream stuff is American culture, superseding any racial category. So to the back half of Millennials the term is better known as a lyric and a casual term BECAUSE OF the reclamation of it by those…

Setting aside actual racists who want to say it for the obvious reason, and will defend their right to do so in the obvious way (“well, if THEY get to say it then why can’t I???”)... it’s because it was transformed into slang and an emblem of cool, which was then sold on a mass scale as a cornerstone part of the one…

Saying white people don’t “really” like rap is equally racist, trashy, and ignorant. What are you getting at here with this level of gatekeeping?

Independent of the Li’l Dicky issue, that’s a horrible perspective to take.

“for people that dont like rap (aka white people)“
