Jezefail: In which Tracie blithely ignores Lady Gaga's cultural appropriation

kyssthis16:

For the sake of fashion, no less. LOL white women! Y’all real cute and whatnot. I mean, I don’t actually expect much on that front. Ya know, discussing the fucked-up-ness of Gagz actions or whatever. But, still. It’s annoying. Congrats on keeping with white supremacy! How awesomely progressive! 

 
 
Jezefail: Tracie Egan Morrissey discusses Chris Brown's "Crazy" Mom.

kyssthis16:

Yes, let’s criticize this woman but ignore her history with abuse! That seems about right! I can’t. No good will come from this. This is why Jezebel can never ever be great. Nope. 

Why did I look at the comments?! WHY DID I LOOK AT JEZEBEL AT ALL?!

 
 
On Racialicious, Carmen Van Kerckhove dubbed hipster racism one of 2006’s top race and pop culture trends, which means that hipster or “ironic” racism has been a topic of conversation by writers of color and others in the social justice sphere for literally years. You won’t find any links or acknowledgments of these earlier discussions in West’s Jezebel post, but hey, at least a whole new audience of people will be that much closer to knowing how to talk about stuff like Lesley Arfin’s insensitive, “ironic” tweet last week.

Gawker Calls Out Hipster Racism, Is Called Out for Hipster Racism | Bitch Media

Should we now also have “hipster appropriation” for those times when the works of WoC are appropriated without reference?

So, this dumb broad over on Jezebel……….

sourcedumal:

kyssthis16:

Just invoked Barack Obama to prove how she isn’t a racist. Oh, and she brought up the fact that she’s married to a Black man, so of course she can’t be racist or have racist views. Y’all………….I would be upset if it wasn’t so funny!!! I laughing so hard right now. All because Dodai decided to write about Beyonce’s People Cover and being designated as The Most Beautiful Person and whatnot. Chile……………….

See, the problem is, Kyssthis, is that you are on JEZEBEL, the most failtastic place for white women who want to play lip service to feminism while retaining all their racist bullshit…..
