wow i'm glad i missed everything yesterday, but this:

white dudes trying to say something with comedy videos about racism which involve racist imagery or language seem to be more interested in the shocking lols than in saying anything (cf 'the amazing racist', if anyone remembers that piece of work...)

otm, like there isn't a single grand enlightening thought or piece of commentary that a white person can say about race that would ever excuse their decision to extend the life of one of our most racist traditions

Hundreds of the city's white residents have complained that the campaign's kick-off images and messages are offensive. The campaign, they say, blames all racism on whites and implies that white people aren't smart enough to recognize racism.

loooooooooooooooooook billboard otm

j0rd mentioned this

http://who-is-bon-iver.tumblr.com/

so at first I was like, lol @ bon iver, but then I read the sidebar, now I think this person is a jackass

lol @ "bonny bear" though

"Hello bitches, nicki minaj should have won, she has her own nailpolish line!!!"

<3 <3

yeah that blog is more or less tumblr whites going "lol dumb uncultured non-white people"

Who is Bon Iver? People seem to like him.

Although thanks to the people quoted in that tumblr, I now know how to pronounce his name.

guarantee you that half the tumblr whites reading that blog laughing at people for typing "bonny bear" went around saying "bon eye-ver" for at 3-6 months

oh I didn't know it was pronounced that way

how popular would my new blog who-is-taraji-p-henson.tumblr.com be?

"bon eye-ver" = how I thought it was pronounced up until I heard someone say it last week.

how popular would my new blog who-is-taraji-p-henson.tumblr.com be?

that probably won't work since she's currently on a hit show

try who-is-gabrielle-union.tumblr.com

Bish please, I used to know the entire casts of BOTH Bring it On and 10 Things I Hate About You.

this was just as unfunny and weird when it was "who is arcade fire" dot tumblr

x-post - <3

My consumption of teen/youth culture has obv hit a wall since then.

I like how the premise is to laugh at ppl who don't know who Bon Iver are but he's such a precious humourless stan he ends up just putting anyone in who speaks ill of their music

i love that whoever made this blog added this

Of course, this blog would not exist if not for Paul Tao's brilliant whoisarcadefire, so props to him for that.

yes, thanks to paul tao for breaking the "who is" tumblr glass ceiling. without him, none of us would be where we are today, laughing at people on the internet that we think are stupider than us.

recognize
i also did not know that it's pronounced bonny bear; for some reason this makes me like him a bit better

j0rdan getting mad about the bon iver tumblr is hilarious and weird like deej getting mad that the MIA thread for having new answers after the super bowl

maybe start a tumblr with screenshots of their posts

haha

i also did not know that it's pronounced bonny bear; for some reason this makes me like him a bit better

i'ts not, though, is it? thought it was "bone ee-VEAR" (rhymes with "bear").

idk i think me getting aggy over the bon iver tumblr is a bit in character

named after his hero Bonnie 'Prince' Bear

There's six series of that?

are you horrified or intrigued?

So now that I know how it's pronounced can I ask another question? BI is just a dude? I assumed it was a band. lol.

he was named after Bon Scott iirc

lolling at dudes who are behaving as if they did not know that they were into a indy folksinger that most Americans have never heard of.

BI is just a dude? I assumed it was a band. lol.

Justin Vernon is the dude's name, Bon Iver is a nom de plume or a band depending on how many people are playing

vernon is just his middle name tho, his full name is: Justin Vernon Bieber

How about this:

We had an entire thread on that. Search "spenditnow".

shit. I thought we had a thread on that. Can't find it though.

thread devoted to www.debbiespenditnow.com

Somehow it seems to still be a little too ok in *educated liberal* circles to imply that Chinese people are a bunch of clone drones:
