And I told Guiness he is the new black, like three weeks ago. He thanked me for saying so.

Dirt: I think you should watch the clip before getting too touchy.

I can see the double standard here, but I don’t see any significant harm in riding an SNL tagline like this. She’s not going to make or break national sexism (or a national campaign to take back the term).

The real question here is, “can we make black is the new black” shirts when Obama wins?

and for what it’s worth, my comment was in response to Gigglechick’s site, especially in reference to the Hillary/Bitch t-shirts and buttons.

I’m not tryna start a fight, I’m tryna get my mind around what’s going on in our society and when i see something like that it raises questions for me, and so I pose the questions for thee.

fwiw i haven’t yet watched the clip.

Huh. Maybe it’s me, but…it seems like we got a double standard going here where a sexist term is ok when a racist term would get ya slammed.

Try this on for size….

“Nigger is the new black.”

How does that feel? Not too good for me. But it’s ok to use the word “Bitch”?

So we can call Hillary a bitch? As in she’s a woman and women is bitches?

That’s ok?

Thanks for sharing. I’m French and I did not know this show. It was really funny actually and I wish I could understand everything.

That Tina Fey is one hell of a bitch. Just love it.
