Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I get your point, but there is something to be said about walking a mile in another man's shoe. Experiencing it yourself will always be more impactful.
This has nothing to do with anything you're talking about.
People suck at reporting on their experiences. Like, good luck knowing what garlic bread is like without eating some. “Oh just ask someone who’s eaten garlic bread. White men never LiStEn”
It's 8am and I'm craving garlic bread now
But none of them will tell him: "did you know we have to wait in line for our coffee?"
Nobody says they love me during the day.
Because blackface will cause me new issues that I chose not to experience.
I actually agree with you, but I also don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to be “real” around a celebrity.
