Today’s best comments fill us with pride.
• Best Comment Of The Day in response to Willow Smith Clearly Owns The Streets:
In Beverley Hills born and raised
In the shops of Rodeo where I spent most of my days.
Chillin’ with my ma, relaxing all cool,
Shootin’ a music video outside of school.
When a couple of agents, they were up to no good.
Starting making money, because they knew they could.
• Best Comment Of The Day in response to Clarence Thomas’ Wife Leaves Ridiculous Voicemail For Anita Hill:
In other news, O.J. Simpson has asked for an apology from the Goldman family for Ron having slept with Nicole.
• Best Comment Of The Day in response to #groupthink:
I am wearing purple in remembrance of those who saw no other option than to end their lives because of the bigoted and narrow views of others.
I am wearing purple as a show of solidarity with those who believe that bullying or any kind of discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation needs to end.
I am wearing purple as a reminder that they are not alone.
I am wearing purple as a reminder that I am not alone.
I am wearing purple as a symbol that actions sometimes do speak louder and more eloquently than words.
I am wearing purple as a way of acceptance, as a way of showing that I support the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community, despite not being a member of it.
I am wearing purple because it breaks my heart to think that there are people and families out there who feel the need to hide such an integral part of who they are because they fear being made a spectacle of.
I am wearing purple because I love, and my love does not count more than the love of a gay,lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered person.
• Best Comment Of The Day also goes to all of the comments in response to Students Wear Purple Today To Support Gay Teens. Says one commenter:
I started crying because I was so pleased with the outpouring of love and support for the LGBT community.
Reminder: Rather than emailing us your daily comment nominations, we’d like you to submit them in the tips box at the top of the page. So send us your nominations via that box — complete with the outstanding comment’s URL — and tag your nomination #cotd. (Replying to a comment with “#cotd” does not work.) From here on out, we’ll mine through the brilliance via the Comment of the Day tag page.
Use #trollpatrol to report comments that you feel the editors/mods should be aware of. Try not to respond to/approve/promote trollish comments in the threads — instead, just post the comment on the #trollpatrol page, the same way you’d post a comment on #groupthink or on the #cotd page, and the editors/mods will take care of it.
