After Marge asks what she's supposed to do, Lisa — Lisa! — looks directly at the camera. "It's hard to say," she says. "Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?" And she looks at a framed photo next to her bed of Apu, which is signed, "Don't have a cow. Apu." Marge puts a hand on her shoulder. "Some things will be dealt with at a later date." "If at all," Lisa responds. Both look blankly at the audience.

Idk how any of what has been quoted is bad or wrong. Can someone explain it to me?

Starting at the beginning part when someone said they read the comments of that blog.

the article itself isn't really that bad imo. it does come off as saying that's it's a great day for all people of color because one of them is now in the royal family but that is probably me reading too much into it

the first comment posted is more offensive because it's dismisive of bi-racial people not raised the "right" way, as if there is only one proper way to be black

also, I have a deep seated disgust with the idea of royalty. seeing people so enamored with the extravagant marriages of parasites who live ofd the labor of the global working class is a bit disheartening

I am a white man though so maybe I'm talking out my rear end. feel free to correct me

If I wanted to play a minority character in say, GTA. Do I need permission to do so? If so who do I ask? I'm so confused by this new development of asking for permission to play a character in a game from total strangers online.

yes, just ask the next black person you see if you have their permission. ensure you thank them properly by doing the power fist and saying "wakanda is real, brother/sister". you have to do this EVERYTIME you switch over to franklin though.

i made a list of every minority ive ever met with their phone numbers, addresses, and social media accounts for this exact reason.

Finding new rooms in your house is one of the classic "seems strange and unique but everyone has them" dreams, like teeth falling out or driving but it moves like you're on ice.

what about the one where your mother's corpse is blaming you for her death? that's not just me, right?

They think no fap works the same way.

Can’t believe it’s almost time for #BlackFriday and holiday shopping. 😬This time of year tires me out (do we really need more stuff??) but it also inspires me, because every dollar spent on impact sourced goods helps fight poverty. You can use your dollars to #givework this holiday season and help people access jobs, not handouts. The ethical shopping guides I like most are made by @fairtradecertified and @socentalliance — but there are a world of options! Look for items certified #fairtrade OR with a clear social and environmental impact statement. (Our #Nilotica gift set contains two products made with fair trade and organic-certified ingredients and supports fair wages in East Africa...while looking luxe!) 📷 @laurelcreative

its weird how extensively infantalized millennials are. millennial is basically a synonym for teenager now. people still say stuff like "when your generation joins the workforce..." even though the youngest millennials are at least 22.

i really wonder why this is. is it because were unable to attain any of the traditional signifiers of adulthood like homeownership? is it a result of marketing towards millennials not changing since we were teens?

You're talking about Sunny D right now, and now I'm thinking about Sunny D. They accomplished what they set out to do.

True, but how does that translate to more sales? I'm not going to buy their orange flavored chalk water just because I remember they exist.

You could probably start a product line that way, cram a productless brand into existence through social media and paying the right people enough money, then license it out to some actual thing later on. Similar to how Trader Joe's operates but without the store, just a gravity well of BRAND strong enough to pull actual commerce into its orbit.

I don't really think this would succeed but there are certainly investors who think it would.

It's probably happened already.

This is pretty much what influencers do

I can't imagine being so broken that I enjoyed engaging with brands on Twitter. When steak-umms pretended to be a depressed millennial a lot of people were replying with poo poo like "thanks, I needed to hear this today". I have been homeless and desperate before but if I ever start looking to brands for hope I will absolutely blow my brains out.
