TW: RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Honestly, I always feel like white people can’t shock me anymore by the depths to which they sink in order rationalize their racism but they still always manage. Always. Without fail. Endlessly.

ROMAN POLANSKI HAS AN OSCAR

MARK WAHLBERG HAS TWO OSCAR NOMINATIONS

SEAN PENN HAS AN OSCAR

JOSH BROLIN HAS AN OSCAR NOMINATION

So no, unless you’re a black man, the academy and the rest of the entire fucking world doesn’t give a fuck if you beat or rape a woman or girl. And this is really fucking rich coming from a guy who raped Anna Faris on screen for a joke. But he’s white so it’s ok. And hilarious.

Is it me or…when a Black man does something embarrassing and hurtful in public, white people have WAY TOO MUCH fun lambasting that person for years while ignoring the fact that a good many of their own do that shit more often? I’m just saying.

This was tasteless. While I don’t like Chris Brown and don’t like the fact that Rhianna is hanging around him again, I would never say something like Seth Rogen did here. This comment is not inherently racist though. What is racist is that no one is saying these things about famous white people who beat the crap out of their significant others. Ok, fine. But really people? That’s what you’re fixating on here?
