Pineapple pizza: subjective hate, objective taste

Image
by Darian Bazile Advertising Tweet: Pineapple pizza may be controversial, but there are objective reasons for why people like it: [link] In January , Gudni Thorlacius Johannesson, president of Iceland, made a statement during a high school visit with regards to one of the most controversial topics on the internet: pineapple pizza. He jokingly said that he would ban pineapple on pizza if he could, but he later backpedaled, remembering his responsibility: “Presidents should not have unlimited power. I would not want to hold this position if I could pass laws forbidding that which I don’t like.” Now if I had any power whatsoever, I would absolutely ban pineapple pizza because it’s a crime in my eyes. In fact, I’m sure that a lot of people would do the same, if they were in Johannesson’s shoes, as many were in agreement with his statements.

In an article on daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com it explains this dilemma,             “The Golden Child, as the name suggests, is the best and mo...

Any Black Person That Dates Outside Their Race is a Sellout

Image
By: Priscilla Rogers “So, you’d really date a white guy?” I was asked this question that I never gave much thought to while on the 2-train heading back to Brooklyn from Manhattan. Revisiting one of my favorite films, a classic that is Save the Last Dance , is the best way to put that question into perspective. The movie follows the high school relationship dynamic between Sara, a Caucasian, and Derek, a Black young man, as they attempt move forward through stereotypes and stigmas of interracial dating. One person that did not agree with the relationship was Derek’s sister Chenille, played by Kerry Washington. Her thought process was along the lines of white women are already privileged and can get just about anything they want but why do they want to take black men as well. The movie was released in 2001 but, research proves just how realistic fiction can be. The study, “ Interracial Dating: An Investigation of the Inconsistencies in Personal and General Attitud...
