I enjoy the implication that if you don't like Kanye or consider him a genius then it's obviously because he's black...not because he's an egotistical asshole who makes music that not everybody likes
I'd watch a Bond movie starring Idris Elba or another black actor, but at the risk of stepping into a minefield, may it not be more interesting to create a new heroic character that could be written to reflect the experiences a person of color may have as a British intelligence agent? Granted, that kind of story might…
I mean, I thought this and I'm black. James Bond is white. It's not like saying 'lady doctor' with the underlying assumption that doctors are all male. James Bond is a white character. I think we're cheering without critical thought here. If he was playing Lara Croft, we'd say 'a male version of Lara Croft' and he…
"... And we can't twist the facts about this fictional character to fit some political or sensitivity agenda."
EXCEPT that James Bond comes from a novel featuring a white man from the UK. The author who created him created a drawing of the character, who is clearly white.
Please remind me why Jennifer Lawrence is my BFF. Is she aware of this? Was there coercion involved? Slumber parties and raw cookie dough? Were our mothers in the same sorority?
She's sweet. It just cracks me up that Beyonce had a few articles written about her over the course of a few days (after stealthily dropping an albulm, complete with videos that sold 600 K copies in 4 days) and there were scores of commentors begging for there to be an end, please, please, please an end to the…
It's alright. Despite indications to the contrary, you're allowed to not like him. I'm not a particular fan myself and I think his wife seems fairly awful. We might both get chased on of Jezebel though.
Neil Gaiman is a hack and Dickens is overrated. Merry Christmas
Not only hungover, late, grumpy, and rushed, but also perfectly aware of your movement and whether or not a complete stranger felt you violated their personal space. Check your priv, Lindy, you don't know how the stranger felt at all and calling it fat hate is stupid.
My thoughts, too! I think this was more about her being late/hungover/aggressive than about her weight. Actually, I don't think her weight was even an issue here. I think it was her attitude.
It blows my mind that 90% of the comments here are supporting the author. I feel like there should be a study done to see how big of an ignorant ass you can be and still blame the other person if you're overweight.
No, what I am saying is literally the exact words that I typed, extremely dense person. If you're looking for a hidden meaning, you'll be left looking for quite a while.
I always feel uncomfortable when people are putting their bags in the overhead bin if I'm in the aisle seat. They're very close and very likely to smash me with their bag at any given moment.
Also, is it possible that he was upset because she wasn't punctual? I sure would be, no matter what she looked like.
Since Lindy didn't do a great job describing the situation, here's how I pictured it...
"I passive-aggressively jarred his foot with my backpack"
Yeah, she basically went from ruining her seatmate's day to everyone around her in earshot.
