Are you 'trolling' or just being noisey?

I think these seemingly trivial cultural moments are actually meaningful. Is there anyone on planet earth who feels Beyoncé is deprived—of anything? There is not. So what does it mean that everyone in the cultural sphere has to salaam before her and say that she was ROBBED by evil rednecks? It’s a bit like the old story that Stalin’s speeches received four-hour standing ovations because everyone was afraid to be the first to stop clapping.

I'll assume you're doing both and will continue doing so; have fun with that. I don't do trolls, so we are DONE.

PS what was with the “white” quotes? Is this along the lines of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “people who believe themselves to be white”?

What part of what I said is “trolling”? Is disagreeing with something now classified as “trolling”? I guess it is if you are in the Bad People basket.
