“I didn’t mean it maliciously.” Jamie Foxx
Oops Jamie dear, didn’t you get the memo? You only get to dehumanize BLACK women and girls in the name of “humor.” Surprised you didn’t blame this on the al-al-al-al-a-alcohol.
After taking a call on his Sirius satellite radio show The Foxxhole Sunday, the Oscar winner and his zoo crew lashed out at tween dream and reigning box-office champ Miley Cyrus, referring to the 16-year-old as a “little white bitch” and advising her to alternately “do some heroin” and “make a sex tape and grow up.”
The 41-year-old’s foul outburst was prompted by a caller to the show who brought up a month-old story in which Cyrus pledged to “ruin” Radiohead after the rockers rejected a request to meet with the Disney star backstage at the Grammys.
“Who is Miley Cyrus?” an incredulous Foxx, who has a teenage daughter of his own, said. “The one with all the gums? She gotta get a gum transplant…S–t.”
The insults didn’t stop there. Or get less personal.
“She’s gonna ruin Radiohead’s career? The same Radiohead that gets paid a million dollars just to sample their songs?
“Make a sex tape and grow up,” he continued. “Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat.
“That’s what I want.” E Online
<sarcasm>There you and your crew went and got out of pocket and left the safe confines of Black woman and girl bashing and went after Miley Cyrus.</sarcasm>
Miley’s dad, Billy Ray, is particularly upset, according to the source.
“He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” the source told me this afternoon. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has teenage daughter himself.” E Online
Foxx noted to Jay Leno that he was doing a routine, saying: “Sometimes as comedians, you know, we go a little too far.”
Oh I LOVE IT!The Apology begins at 6:37. I’m adding that time stamp so you can avoid all of Jamie’s shucking ,jiving and soft shoeing.
How in the Heck is Jay Leno going to get an apology out of Jamie Foxx for making inappropriate comments about a teenage girl in another forum, but didn’t demand an apology out of DL Hughley who insulted Black women everywhere on Jay’s couch?
Somebody help me to understand! Oh never mind.Folks watch and learn. Jamie Foxx knows who butters his bread. Boundaries- Get them-enforce them-keep them!
In other news,<sarcasm> DL Hughley announced that following getting fired leaving his CNN gig for “family reasons” he’s decided to star in a revival of Birth of a Nation…because he thinks that will be funny. . . And that’s all that matters. </sarcasm> Ha -ha-hey-el!

First of all, I want to say that I love your site. I visit it everyday, and I’ve learned a lot. As a black woman, my everyday life has been influenced by your site and the blogs of other black woman who are speaking the truth. I’m very thankful!
That being said, I said the same things you wrote above to myself when I saw the story about his “apology”. You know that if he had said the same things about, say, Keke Palmer, there would be no apology forthcoming. And not because she’s not as popular as Miley Cyrus. Sad.
Your answer is simple because we’re black and the most unprotected group in this country basically he did’nt make DL apologize because white can give less than two shits about black women.
What he and his ‘crew’ said was not funny. What Imus said wasn’t either. I don’t agree with either of these men not apologizing. Mean, hurtful, demeaning things shouldn’t be said. It’s too bad that it appears that Foxx jumped through hoops to apologize…
There are so few willing to speak out for and against the mistreatment of black women.
Leno, is clearly no exception of this. He joins a forever growing melting pot of abusers that just don’t care about us.
While I don’t doubt for one minute that the main reason DL wasn’t forced to apologize is b/c he insulted Black women. But how much is it that no one is really cares about DL. He is not funny, his TV show tanked. I really don’t think he is on anyone’s radar. I just think the reason he gets jobs is b/c he has a really good agent and right now there is a shortage of black comedians since few funny ones we do have only do movies.
So called black comedians and entertainers make their living off of insulting and degrading black women. Whites also profit from it. So it is no surprise to me that Leno did not insist on an apology from DL. But the precious white women – that virtuous flower that must be protected at all cost – she is strictly off limits.
“While I don’t doubt for one minute that the main reason DL wasn’t forced to apologize is b/c he insulted Black women. But how much is it that no one is really cares about DL.

I just think the reason he gets jobs is b/c he has a really good agent and right now there is a shortage of black comedians since few funny ones we do have only do movies.”
I’d agree, except for the fact that had D.L said the same thing in reference to white women, the reaction would have been VERY different. Both from the audience, Leno and the media! It is not the mouth it came out from that determined the offence, it is the target. And to ALOT of folks, Black women and Black girls are fair game!
“That being said, I said the same things you wrote above to myself when I saw the story about his “apology”. You know that if he had said the same things about, say, Keke Palmer, there would be no apology forthcoming. And not because she’s not as popular as Miley Cyrus. Sad.”
It is not that Miley Cyrus is more popular than KeKe Palmer. It’s that Miley is WHITE. White America doesn’t stand by and allow their women, especially their girls, to be attacked or demeaned in any way, even in the name of “humor”. Only we do that. And Jamie ain’t stupid. He knows who’s in charge. I knew the minute that this story broke that the Negro would be bending over backwards to apologize. SMH.
I hate Jay Leno for a number of reasons – especially because of the way he behaved during the writer’s strike but that a different story for another day.
As far as Jamie Foxx, that’s what he gets for going after a much beloved white CHILD. Did he REALLY think he was going to ge away with that.
Dont even get me started on that stupid song which is pretty much advocating date rape. And before folks chime in with “it’s just music” think about what he is actually saying in that song.
She really wants to do it (I know because I am a man who knows women and I know all women want to have sex with me because I have $$$$) but her guard is up so let me get her drunk so she won’t care about anything and have sex with me.
This is textbook date rape pathology. When I first heard it I was disgusted. Can’t believe it’s a “hit”.
Its a strange fascination some of these BM comedian have attacking BW and every once in a while testing the ceiling for a crack at attacking WW. (and scurrying for cover when they realized its not a green light).
Sooner or later they’ll be anticipated and seen as a true menace by all.
I’m disturbed by the misogyny of Foxx’s comments. It would appear that he hates women and girls. Get an STI? Take heroin? Hard to see what’s funny about that.
And a non apology: It wasn’t meant maliciously. That’s something I would expect an abuser to say.
I remember listening to Jamie Foxx verbally attack Karen Steffans on his radio show last year in horror. The interview, which I listened to on a blog, was disgusting. He was calling her all types of names, and just being really mean and almost sadistic. It was not funny AT ALL. I remember people were cheering him on because of their dislike for her and it really bothered me. Mainly because there was an audience of people, many of whom were woman, who felt like she needed to be “punished” and “put in her place” for her past and somehow Jamie Foxx of all people had the moral authority to do so! I’ll never understand woman who take pleasure in watching “bad girls” get put in their place by men. That whole “he ain’t talking about me” attitude is bad news for us all.
I say all that to say, that incident really confirmed what I felt for years–Jamie Foxx has issues w/ woman. This Miley outburst doesn’t surprise me, nor does his apology. Jamie has been applauded for acting like a fool for years, remember Wanda. At some point, every star begins to feel untouchable. For a split second he forgot that he is still black and Miley is a white and he can only get away with disrespecting US in the name of comedy. Jay Leno, made sure to remind him that and he shucked and jived accordingly. This just reinforces why you need to set boundaries. When people know they can’t get away with certain types of jokes, somehow they figure out a way not to make them. Believe it or not, that financial disincentive somehow overrides their need for creative license. And the ones who do push the boundaries, despite the financial disincentive are usually the ones who are the actual provocative artists and not fools who just try to make money making crude jokes about people who are the easiest to pick on. As provocative, risqué comedians go; Jamie Foxx has never been part of that group. First of all he’s not clever enough. Neither is Hughley. They both make school yard jokes and pick on easy targets (black people, woman, homosexuals etc) for a cheap laugh. He’s so incredibly wack.
@ Tasha 212
I know what you mean but this doesn’t extend to all white women — girls are a different story. If white women seriously step out of line … Dixie Chicks.
If there’s any consolation, Miley will most likely end up like so many of her female Disney contemporaries before her….Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, etc…..it won’t be a big loss to the industry. Might tee off ol’ Billy Ray, though.
What galls me is the fact that the black man…ahem…Negro….ahem….n*gger…has to be slapped down nationally for stepping out of bounds when it comes to the treatment of the fair white woman. Denigrating the women of your own race is A OK….but don’t you dare put your filthy n*gger hands on the fair white woman, no siree!
And I conclude that racial relations will never be mended in this country. I’ve pretty much given up on that little dream. GEM, you talked about black women divesting from the Black community. How about the Black community divesting itself from America? Not the whole Marcus Garvey “we’ll leave this place and found our own country”, but taking a cue from the little foreign community enclaves…..how about “being IN America, but not OF America? It would be nice to get back that close-knit social network we once had….
“It is not that Miley Cyrus is more popular than KeKe Palmer. It’s that Miley is WHITE. ”
Yes, I agree. That’s why I said as much in my comment…
I also agree with Miriam that these comedians once in a while will dip their toe in the water with jokes against white women and will immediately back off like the cowards they are when someone protests.
Unfortunately, they can insult black women and girls all they want with no repercussions, so no need for them to work out any of the issues they they have with women, period. Once again, we carry the burden of their defective personalities.
And if Jay Leno only wants to defend the purity of ol’Miley and not, say, the Rutgers team, it sucks, but I’m not surprised. If he sees that the black community doesn’t give a crap when black men insult us, then why should he? Does anyone really expect him to try to defend black women against the comments of a black man?? We teach other people how to treat us; he was just taking his cues from Hughley and Co. Society as a whole takes its cues from them; if our own men treat us like trash…?
Jay Leno is a mechanic. He’s great with cars. I don’t even know how he ended up on the Tonight Show. Not even Johnny Carson could stand him.
I’ll give props to Billy Ray for standing up for his daughter. That’s why Leno said something: she has a Daddy who wouldn’t take his daughter being disrespected.
The last time I remember a black father publicly standing up for his daughters was Serena and Venus Williams’ Daddy. I’m sure there are others….
Until someone (and it has to be another man) stands up and tells these “comedians” to STFU, they’re going to keep talking mess.
@xd
I don’t care that a so-called “black man” such as Jamie Fox got publicly slapped down. If he had any class this situation wouldn’t have occurred. Plus the fictional “black community” loves Jamie Fox … the more misogynist the black male comedian, the more black folks loves the guy.
I’m not climbing aboard the phony racial outrage bus, or ship, because he got put back into his place. He just needs to lay off black women after he’s done licking his wounds.
What role do you think Claudia Jordan played in this?She called Mylie a B first
Betty Chambers!
I love your comments.
“… the more misogynist the black male comedian, the more black folks loves the guy. I’m not climbing aboard the phony racial outrage bus, or ship, because he got put back into his place.”
We live in a misogynistic culture, period. White women are also treated poorly, by the larger culture, but the most vile and degrading of behavior is reserved for black women.
Excuse me…I could be mistaken but….didn’t black men stand up for the Rutgers women when they were degraded by a white man? Perhaps I missed the “But…”
@JustMe
The good news: lots of Black men stood up for the Rutgers team.
The bad news: some of these same men were reluctant to do criticize those Black men ( DL, Snoop Dogg, etc.) said worse about Black women.
Hypocrisy, indeed.
Well there you have it folks, in a nutshell, the difference between the White community that LOVES and PROTECTS it’s girls and women, and the Black “Community” which HATES it’s girls and women. I 100% agree with all the people who are saying that nobody would give a damn if that idiot Foxx said this about Keke Palmer, or any other Black female star (Or any Black female PERIOD), as was demonstrated in the Karrine Staffens incident, and countless others.
Justme, White women are NOT subjected to any misogynistic society from White men. Facts are facts. The White race is ALL about protecting/defending/taking care of it’s females. You want to talk about misogny? Just look at ANY Black majority country or Black enclaves in the West.
Someone mentioned the Black community seceding from greater/White/mainstream American society in the style of Chinatowns and other ethnic inclaves in America that exist seperate from White America. That in THEORY sounds like a good idea, but there is just ONE teeny-tiny little problem with that. Black men DON’T WANT IT. They would want to bring in their litttle White and Latina girlfriends!
I don’t remember any Black males TRULY defending the Rutgers girls from Imus. What I DO remember is Black males posturing and posing, using the incident to draw attention to themselves and get publicity while ACTING like they care. Actions speak louder than words people. It means nothing if I say I love Japanese cars, yet I key every Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Subaru I see when I am outside!
I forgot to mention that I first heard this breaking news at Big Hollywood. The comments basically echo those here:
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/cftoto/2009/04/15/apologies-accepted-from-the-left/
Is it alright if I’m confused here? I’m not sure which leg I’m to stand on right now.
Let’s see. I’ve read plenty here calling out the “black community” for doing nothing about the continued degradation of black women. That the men especially are at double fault for both promoting this, and, of course, doing nothing in your defense. Yet, here I read many disparaging remarks about how (apparently) racist it is for whitey-man to protect their girls. I’m confused; should we or should we not be affronted by J.F. for what he said, even if it was about a white girl? Kind of an oxymoron to me.
If one wants to fault Mr. Leno for not calling this out, well, have you even considered how THAT would go over? I can just picture whitey man calling out the ‘brotha’s’ on dissin’ their own women. Uh, right. You see Tavis Smiley writing a book about it? C. West writing some totally unreadable 100 page dissertation on “The Historicity of Racist Separation of the Black Diaspora”. Can you see the Right Rev. Al protesting in the street (with many a black woman with him) hollering about how “this is racist whitey trying to divide and conquer us! Stand strong together behind the Black Man!”?
Nope, whitey ain’t gonna touch this one. This is an internal problem. This one would really burn the fingers.
Now, I would ask you, how you going to fight it? You all going to be individual ‘soldiers’ on this? Sounds like a quick defeat to me that way. Can you ban together in solidarity? I really doubt that, because you only have to read the comments to see how seemingly impossible it is for so many black women to divest from this train of thought – “Damn black man still beatin’ me down – Racist Whitey!!!” Uh, wrong connection.
This is why I’ve asked about your Allies. You going to turn to the black man? You going to ‘convert’ all the “Ikette supporters”? You going to fight by yourself? As long as you maintain your own paranoia of white people, you are alone.
I donno, maybe the Latino girls will pitch in.
COMMENT DELETED BY THE BLOG ADMINISTRATOR BECAUSE SHE IS NOT RUNNING A DAYCARE CENTER OR A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY.
EITHER DISCUSS THE POST OR LURK.
I’M GETTING EXTREMELY TIRED OF POLICING FULLY GROWN PEOPLE.
How in the Heck is Jay Leno going to get an apology out of Jamie Foxx for making inappropriate comments about a teenage girl in another forum, but didn’t demand an apology out of DL Hughley who insulted Black women everywhere on Jay’s couch?
I don’t recall hearing Jay Leno “demand” an apology from Jamie Foxx. He simply lightheartedly brought up the incident during the conversation. The difference between Jamie and DL is that Jamie chose to come out on his own and apologize while DL, despite far more pressure to do so, stubbornly refuses.
Also, why is it that you say that Jamie insulted one teenage girl while DL insulted black women everywhere? DL insulted a basketball team that included two white women. How does one basketball team that included two white women represent black women everywhere? That is certainly not the case from my point of view.
Uh Me I Guess,
I don’t think that anyone felt it was wrong for whites to stick up for their girls and women. What the women here are angry about (I guess) is the double standard that white women should be respected and black women can disrespected. On that point, I agree. But I still have to admit one thing: Were Asians, Latinos, and blacks rushing to attack Foxx over his comments? Or were they primarily white? That’s an important question to answer, IMO.
Well, I sent a nice email to the Jay Leno show but I’m not expecting an answer. Whatever the case, If Foxx had solely attacked Spears, Lohan, or Madonna (all white women) I’m not sure Leno or anyone else would have demanded an apology. But if Foxx had attacked the weeMichelles, his career would have been over. See the difference. I also think that if a white man had attacked Miley, I suspect he might have gotten a pass in the name of Free Speech. But remember again, Imus was fired due to the pressure MSNBC received over insults directed at black women. My point is that people tend to look the other way when the attacker and victim are of the same race. Billy Ray Cyrus is a white southern man with a Southern mindset. No man (especially a black man) will get away with disrespecting his daughter. I personally respect him for that.
Now, I’d like to see more people go to bat for black women. Personally, I think that black women should be first in line for that job.
I apologize to the administrator if that post was deemed out of line/irrelevant. I am very passionate about this topic, so sometimes my posting reflects something said in the heat of the moment.
I was trying to point out that post #22 seemed to in a roundabout way be making excuses for the rampant disrespect constantly hurled at Black females. It seems that anytime we speak up about it, there will always be people looking to critisize us, and act as if the disrespect and hatred of Black females is no big deal. It seems these people want us as Black females to shut up, take the abuse/disrespect, and like it.
How does one basketball team that included two white women represent black women everywhere? –Stoney
How? He used the term “nappy” which in the US is reserved exclusively for blacks.
I think we can all honestly agree that what Imus said was NOT meant for the two White girls on the Rutgers team.
One other point. Leno stated to Jaime during the apology that “this has really been bothering you”. Clearly, Foxx had expressed to Leno beforehand that he was bothered by the comments and the desire to apologize on his show. Leno was simply left with the job of bringing it up. I think that Leno is being incredibly misrepresented here.
I think we can all honestly agree that what Imus said was NOT meant for the two White girls on the Rutgers team.
I think not. I don’t share your outrageous and unfounded perceptions and I think that I speak for most people of all genders and races.
I must correct my post. I was speaking of what Hughely said, not Imus.
How? He used the term “nappy” which in the US is reserved exclusively for blacks.
The term “nappy” is not necessarily an insult. The part folks keep complaining about is when he called the girls “ugly”. Ugly is not reserved for blacks.
Stoney, you are sitting there actually saying that “Nappy” is NOT used against Black females as an insult, and you have the gall to call MY perceptions and “Outrageous” and “Unfounded”????? That takes a lot of cheek! You are being unrealistic and you know it!
The term “nappy” is not necessarily an insult.==Stoney
I didn’t say it was an necessarily an insult. However, it is often used pejoritively and no one can deny that. And no, it wasn’t the ugly comment but the use of the term nappy. If the word ugly was used alone, there would not have been as much of an uproar.
(1) Just wondering: Did Miley appear “open for attack” by predators (Foxx) because she behaved arrogantly when Radiohead refused to meet with her backstage?
I am totally not blaming her. Just trying to find patterns. Predatory people often have a nack for spotting when someone does a mistep (or if they’re behavior screams vulnerability) and come in for the kill. Did the threat to “ruin” Radiohead take her away from the clean image she was presenting? Did that show of not being so composed-ness turn (predatory) heads?
At the same time we can’t NEVER do a misstep.
What’s the proper way to handle missteps (a show of anger, an act of arrogance, something that shows we’re human and not the fakely perfect star) before predatory onslaught?
(2) Aside from the father of Miley, it seems that it was the media who took on the fight against Foxx for what he said.
I think it behooves us to gain dominance in the media. Or somehow reshape it so that the media we CAN get access to becomes A powerful media.
(3) I think it is true that we tend toward individual soldier-ism. But rather than fight that tough battle, a solution which incorporates this tendency might be:
* When a celebrity demeans a BW, taking it to the media with a phone call could help. Especially if its tied in with a buzz word.
For example: “How dare comedian x make such a comment?! Would Condi Rice want to be regarded like that?” or Michelle Obama or some organization or name that would make the reporter love to have this story.
(this could also prompt the reporter the go to those figures for a statement???)
* The creation of a “black list” of famous comedians and the insult they’ve hurled at BW. Easy reference for any conscientious individual.
Anyway, just thinking out loud of possibilities…
Stoney, you are sitting there actually saying that “Nappy” is NOT used against Black females as an insult
Didn’t say that. I said that it is not necessarily an insult. Look at the context. Hughely was trying to show that what Imus said was not totally inaccurate. The girls were not “hos”, but they did/do have nappy hair. The vast majority of black people, male and female, have nappy hair. I most certainly do.
I realize that the term “nappy” often denotes a higher level of coarseness in hair, and note that he said that “some” of those women had nappy hair. How many was he talking about? Which ones?
And lets be real. You make ridiculous statements of how the “black community hates black women”. This is unsubstantiated nonsensical rhetoric.
Hugley said, “he called them nappy headed hoes..and they weren’t hoes…but there were some nappy headed women on that team…
(obviously he’s reference to BW)
“….them is some of the ugliest women I’ve ever seen in my life!”
***************
He’s obviously focusing on the “nappy headed” ones.
I think the target is pretty clear.
Well if that is the case Miriam, how does that relate to ALL black women?
Stoney, there is nothing even remotely “Ridiculous” about me stating THE TRUTH, and the truth IS that the Black community hates Black females. I am a Black female in my 30s, and NOBODY is going to tell me that I am seeing/hearing or imagining things about the explicit hatred for my gender in this community. If it makes you uncomfortable that someone states this truth, well that is just too darned bad. As for the rest of your post, the correct term for Black hair is “Kinky”. Trying to say that nappy, especially when used to describe Black females, is not an insult is just plain silly, as well as insulting.
Miriam, I like you idea very much. Something needs to be done.
@Stoney
It dosen’t matter if DL was talking to one Black woman on the Rutger’s BBall team or every Black woman who’s ever played BBall, it was still a disrespectful and malicious comment. In fact DL is rather disrespectful to Black people period – and it ain’t funny!
Look at it this way – if Jay Leno called Jamie Foxx a N*gger on his show would you (assuming you are Black) be offended; or would you say “He wasn’t talking about me!” and let it slide?
PS If you aren’t Black substitute the proper ethnic insult!
@ Stoney
If you have on a red dress and someone loudly talks badly about some other person’s ‘red dress’, you’d feel a bit self conscious, I would think.
All the more so for making fun of BW’s Hair. Touchy topics already due to the fact that so much discriminations and negativities that people do because for our type of hair (and skin color). i.e. nat. hair in the work place, etc.
And those Rutger girls all looked pretty decent to me. That says that there is just no way to avoid the “ugly” which is (supposedly) the black kinky hair.
Stoney, there is nothing even remotely “Ridiculous” about me stating THE TRUTH
I agree. So maybe you should try doing so because so far, you are spouting meaningless, unfounded and unsubstantiated rhetoric and attempting to pass it off as truth.
I am a Black female in my 30s, and NOBODY is going to tell me that I am seeing/hearing or imagining things about the explicit hatred for my gender in this community.
I’m sorry, but I am saying just that.
Trying to say that nappy, especially when used to describe Black females, is not an insult is just plain silly, as well as insulting.
It’s funny the growing number of blogs and websites dedicated to black women wearing natural hair that include the term “nappy” in their titles.
And look. I am a black male. Do you realize how many times I have been called nappy-headed throughout my lifetime, quite often by black females? Do you realize that based on the fact that men and boys typically don’t wear perms, black men are boys are labeled as “nappy-headed” more than black females are? Stevie Wonder referred to himself as a “little nappy headed boy”. Have you heard of the rap group “nappy roots”? A black man’s perm is a near bald head.
And those Rutger girls all looked pretty decent to me. That says that there is just no way to avoid the “ugly” which is (supposedly) the black kinky hair.
I find none of them attractive, including the white ones. Of course, whether they are attractive or not is subjective, but I think that as a man, I have a better idea of what men generally will find attractive than you. On the other hand, I generally find those black women lined up on those starting blocks preparing to run the 100 meters quite appealing. They have the same “nappy” hair as the basketball players and are similarly athletic.
Lets face it. Exceeding 6 feet in height for a woman and having the ability to take the ball to the hoop quite often is accompanied by a certain gangliness combined with robustness that takes away from feminine appeal and this goes for ALL races.
Look at it this way – if Jay Leno called Jamie Foxx a N*gger on his show would you (assuming you are Black) be offended; or would you say “He wasn’t talking about me!” and let it slide?
Context is king. Lisa Lampanelli doesn’t bother me.
I think that you guys take this black female victimism idea to an extreme and it is really odd.
I agree. So maybe you should try doing so because so far, you are spouting meaningless, unfounded and unsubstantiated rhetoric and attempting to pass it off as truth.
I am stating the truth. You just cannot stand to hear it.
I’m sorry, but I am saying just that.
Of course you are. It is typical of anti-Black female racists. Well I do not care. I am still going to speak the truth about this situation, and your little insults and smart-aleck comments will not stop me. ‘
As for the rest of your post, it also is typical. Anytime Black females get together to discuss the racism/abuse directed specifically at US, here comes a Black man to chime in with “Bbbbut we are opressed too!” as if that is not acknowledged ad nauseam already.
To those of you who’ve descended into a play yard brawl in my comments section, get off my blog. Seriously. I don’t know who hurt whom. What pains and issues people are carrying around. I don’t care about your agendas. This is not romper room. This is not a pre school. This is not therapy. This is not a sand pit. You’re not even fighting over substance at this point, but trying to get the last word.
If what someone is saying is stupid or meaningless or nonsensical to you then you always have the option to ignore them. I do it all the time ! If you can’t spot an OBVIOUS troll intentionally baiting you by now, then you aren’t wise enough to comment in the first place.
I’m sick of refereeing the comments section. I have 15,000 things to do and policing the emotions of fully grown people is not even at the bottom of my list.
The comments section is to comment on the post, not each other.
