And yet he’s still doing more than literally every other president ever on this issue, so how about not making the perfect the enemy of the good?

So you’re complaining that they’re actually doing something about it?

Wait are you serious? The It’s on Us Campaign started in 2014, and the Obama administration has been a loud advocate for this topic since his first term. I’m not saying the dude is perfect, but to say this is some kind of weird lame duck action is ridiculous and not based on fact.

And he didn’t say one word about global warming!

I can’t stand Shonda Rhime’s shows but I appreciate her for not giving one lick of a damn what (white) viewers think.

This year’s BET Awards was pretty damn Black between white people getting pissed off over it, Jesse Williams’ speech and Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar opening the damn show with “Freedom”.

““A special note to all the people making assumptions: Who said I was white? Who said I’m a Trump supporter?”

I love this kind of thing. a) come on, Erin. b) my conservative fucktard uncle tried to pull this “who says I’m a Trump supporter” bullshit on me in a recent discussion and it’s hilarious every time.

The news agencies seem to be falling for “internet pranks” at a higher rate than email pen-pals with deposed Nigerian Princes.

I think it all boils down to: It’s racist when I don’t agree with it, otherwise it is fine and nobody should complain.

The good thing is that he’s pretty frank about colorism and the role it and his biracial background have played in his life. That it frames how he speaks about race is a positive way of addressing it, better than a lot of other high-profile figures for sure.

It’s true. Erin isn’t white and she isn’t secretly Tomi Lahren.

Fire Jackson Avery? Really because racists fucks want to be racists?

If this was a white person making the same speech about an African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised,

I’m sure there are some genuine supporters, but when I first saw this petition a few days ago, I clicked on some of the comments, and the top comments were all people who thought Erin Smith was racist and delusional, and had signed the petition simply for the privilege of leaving a comment and telling her so.

In semi-related news, GOD, that man is pretty. I am a sucker for men who have that saddle of freckles on the bridge of their noses.

Who said I was white? Who said I’m a Trump supporter?

I can’t keep up with racist logic

everything’s about race until it’s not about race and when it is about race it’s convenient for white people to make it about race but all the other times it’s race-baiting. Or something. I can’t keep up with racist logic

I’m guessing those 4,500 idiots are the ones who also ask “What if there was a White Entertainment Television?” every time BET is mentioned. Seriously, had no other network reported on it, there’s no way they would have even known he said it.

Did Erin Smith just not know that Shonda Rhimes would be the one making that decision or nah??
