Wise words with an ultra-modern context: look at Macklemore, who has been accused of appropriating the struggles of gay people for his own personal benefit and image.

“It’s anger for songs like “Same Love,” a track about gay rights which has made a lot of gay activists, queer performers, and gay people themselves really angry that a straight white male is using his all of his socio-cultural privileges to rap about stuff that’s not even relevant to him. -Madison Moore, “Why Macklemore Isn’t The Problem”

Blackface–when white people would paint their faces as, and mack, black people–is certainly more severe and societally traumatic than Jared Leto’s performance. Simply seeing these images of blackface would send shivers of political incorrectness down the spine of any modern citizen

Those famous, long-winded “terms of use” that we’ve all had to sign…problem is they’re so long and we want our product so bad that we’re usually willing to sign anything, no matter how much privacy it takes away from us.

A sneak diss towards Russia, the country that is currently housing Snowden. Russia has a horrible free speech record, what with their beating of Pussy Riot, among many other offenses, so it’s ironic that Snowden would have his freedom there of all places
