I have never heard that idiocy before about black girls. Certainly I have the slut issues and experienced them too. That's truly appalling. Honestly, I couldn't begin to wrap my head around what the hell The Onion was saying with that tweet. It was so over the top disgusting and repulsive that I didn't know what to do with it in my head. I didn't see it as racist so much as pedophilic. But I can now see it in the light you've cast and that makes it even worse, if that is at all possible. I generally like the Onion, but I can't see where anyone could possible find humor in what they said. I can't conceive that there might be humor in it for anyone. It was sick. No, not sick, because that would imply they didn't know what they were saying. It was vicious and nasty and misogynistic and racist and worse that all that, it was put out there in a huge public way and this poor little girl is going to have to deal with it from now on. I'm absolutely outraged and disgusted.
As for the rest of the anti-woman, woman as object crap of the Oscars--I'm glad I didn't subject myself to it. But I hate that it went out to so many houses that didn't turn it off.
