SOLANGE KNOWLES, omg the return of

yay ad revenue

headlines you guys. viral clicks.

J/B's reax kinda scream "here goes Solange again" don't they?

*obligatory note that I know nothing about the sitch, of course!

either she's used to stuff like this or she felt jay-z had what was coming for him or she's keenly aware of not doing anything detrimental in public

interesting she left with solange. and she posted this the next day: http://instagram.com/p/ntRW9SPw3g/

that would be beyond supernaturally aware of not doing anything detrimental in public...then again she is Beyonce, maybe thats how her life is

there's a nonzero chance she was literally on an airplane when the video was leaked https://twitter.com/solangeknowles

pageant the pain away~

only funny tweet i've seen was this one: https://twitter.com/kingsleyyy/status/465897516056051712

Really uncomfortable with the way the internet is celebrating this. An assault just doesn't seem funny at all to me, especially when we don't know the circumstances

oh for the love of god

i mean i'm probably an internet-clickbait-ad-dollarz-asshole but that twit pic up there about Jay at the family reunion made me lol even though assault is definitely not hilarious

this was kind of funny and then I saw Hoos post a memepic on Facebook of a TMZ screenshot of this superimposed on Michelle Obama's #BringBackOurGirls picture and Evan R has a point

it's "assault" but it's also solange trying to beat up jay z, who has a bodyguard on him, as beyonce watches and laughs. it's funny

it's funny when people beat one another!

What is Solange/Who is Solange/What is a Solange?

Solange can refer to the French-Latin word for "solemn" or "dignified." It can also refer to a Christian saint, or a commune in France. But those definitions of the word are not what people are talking about today.

p shady imo for TMZ to refer to Solange simply as "Beyonce's sister"

Most people have no idea who you're talking about if you say "Solange"

I was gonna say, that's the least shady part of this whole thing

'yeah you later too'

what is a solangew

...a solange

let's all forget that typo happened

"i distinctly heard her say solanjew"

just in the interest of clarity, in my echo chamber of left wing people the photoshopped-michelle thing has been making the rounds as a critique of using the fucked up crisis to pivot to intervention talk, and the TMZ screenshot fit into that joke train. not saying it was some trenchant truth to power shit or anything but def didn't intend to make light of whats happening there.

In the interest of clarity, my objection is less about the seriousness of Solange's attack on Jay-Z and more about seeing the most visible powerful African-Americans in America turned into a "lol black people" meme, which for obvious reasons irritates me.

i hadn't seen it from that angle, but now that you point that out to me its stupidly obvious. sorry to have irritated you.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

most visible powerful African-Americans in America

uh

I mean yr point stands but I would rank them no. 2 maybe

3 after oprah certainly

the Huxtables are no longer on the air

most visible powerful African-Americans in America

uh

so where do you rank Michelle Obama then?

think it was just a bad joke

DJP otm

already seen far too many (one is too many) comments along the lines of "haha i knew under all that glamour they're just thugs"

tbf, any and all media would absolutely treat this with the same degree GETCHA POPCORN CELEBRITY MELTDOWN CLICKY CLICKY if this were angelina's sister trying to kick the shit outta brad

the social media bullshit pancakes with asshole syrup on the other hand

yeah but if it were angelina and brad there wouldn't be any "omg i knew they were secretly ratchet" crap

what generally rational and unprejudiced news source is engaging in "secretly ratchet" reporting here? link?

talking about like 75% of the comments dude

oh, yeah sure; if yer talking vox populi, for certain. People are idiots.

social media bullshit pancakes with asshole syrup

why would you write these awful words

e's talking vox populi iirc

if it were angelina and brad there'd be two months of serious, "worried" pop-psychiatry that would treat their relationship as part of a beautiful, tragic soap

i mean jen aniston got like a good decade of media psychiatry when she got dumped what do you think they'd do for angelina

oh for the love of god
