Me, too. I saw this posted in the comments on another article somewhere else:
Full disclosure: I voted Bernie in the primary and phone banked and raised money for him in Florida during the primary. When he didn’t win the nomination, I voted for Hillary in the general.
She is the only candidate out of that national clusterfuck who is being asked to take a seat (because, lady). Her staunch refusal to take said seat makes me like her even more. No Fucks Hillary and No Fucks Obama should make a buddy-cop show.
Ironic that those who did the right thing feel shame, while the protest voters are still patting themselves on the back.
I don’t think that anyone of any gender could build the resume and national name recognition that would allow them to seek the office without a fairly serious level of self-confidence (to put it positively) or arrogance (to put it negatively.) To believe that you are the best person to be one of the most powerful…
I think that I will feel shame for being an American until the day that I die over this Presidency. I voted blue in a purple state, so I did my part to try to avert the crisis, but I still feel ill every time that I think of him in the White House. I really did think that the W presidency was the worst that I would…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Her estimation that half of his supporters were deplorable was pretty damn kind, and she knew it.
I am LOVING The Hillary book and tour. Sadly the book event was sold out in my city (and it is on my birthday so that made me extra sad). But I honestly LOVE when women get to that age and stage in their careers when they don’t give a fuck and say whatever they think. THEN it’s when we get the most wisdom from women,…
Because he is a garbage person who thinks garbage things and has the sensitivity level of a toddler with a diarrhea-filled diaper.
The Soviet Union won the Cold War on appeal.
Good.
Another option would be to spring for a babysitter and tickets to Bounce Land or Chuck E Cheese for all the kids, and guilt her into accepting the gift. She’ll know it’ll make her look like a total asshole if she still brings her kids to the wedding (thereby refusing a nice gesture), and it will make the letter writer…
Nah, you don’t actually have to invite her, and the proof is right there in her ‘We’ll see about that’ response. You invite people to your wedding who are there to support you, on your day, as you embark upon the wonderful experience of having your relationship legally and religiously authorized and recognized. Her…
“If you can convince black women though, watch your career go to stratosphere.”
“Would a black woman who wanted to rap have been told to do pop instead?”
What I find amazing is that she had folks falling over her left and right trying to make her a pop star a la “a Fergie, Gwen Stefani or Britney Spears”, and she *still* insisted on trying to rap - trying to use a style that demands a cultural connection she did not appreciate and did not bother with. Christ, *ICP* is…
Well researched and written. The biggest takeaway is that she should have listened to the people around her. Even the song you posted in the article, had she dropped the blaccent and gone with Valley girl ala kesha in the first part of her career that would have been a cute little underground sleeper hit.
All through this article producers and directors are trying to get her to go pop instead of hip-hop, and when she finally does try to do hip-hop everyone holds it against her that she is white.
Nobody is crying any tears for this poor, beleaguered white girl who was handed a music career based on her whiteness, while a few people tried to steer her away from the cultural appropriation she so needed to commit. Fuck her.
...Man, I think I’m going to keep coming back to this piece all day, thinking about it more. Upon reflection, this bit is really sticking with me:
