Pop star Justin Timberlake received flack on Twitter after he tweeted his support for actor Jesse Williams‘ stirring speech on racism at the BET Awards.

Timberlake was then barraged with comments accusing him of “cultural appropriation” and “gentrification” and blaming him for the Janet Jackson Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction.

He's already groveled and issued an apology(!) Unreal.

Using any and all technology invented by caucasions is cultural appropriation to the maximum degree

[Harpotoo]

What a punk arse whitey:-)

[Vigilanteman]

Proving, once again, that no amount of groveling is ever sufficient for the professional racists and supremacist groups.

[Tax-chick]

Ha ha!

[Dilbert San Diego]

So if you praise a black actor, that somehow is wrong? But if you criticize a black actor, that would be racist.

Are we damned if we do, damned if we don’t? What the heck??

[gaijin]

Let them isolate themselves..!

This is GOOD.

[Mears]

He should have tweeted a pic of himself eating watermelon.

These people are insane,and I hope that they never eat pizza-—the Italians would have a fit/s

Justin, if you thought that by being nice to them that they’d hate you any less you were wrong.

[Jack Hammer]

Some weenies just don’t get no respeck.

A haiku:

The Minor Threat song
“Guilty of Being White”
Somehow applies here

[Paine in the Neck]

Aren’t black actors culturally appropriating cinema? They didn’t invent it? For that matter, basketball too.

Why do I feel grade school peer pressure and maturity has now gone mainstream.

[Tax-chick]

Second line is short a syllable.

[T-Bone Texan]

Thank you for the feedback.

I count incorrectly on my fingers every so often.

Not having 7 fingers on my hand is an actual handicap to haiku-ing.

[Tax-chick]

I understand. I had to count it several times before I was convinced there were only 6 syllables.

Perhaps one can be truly successful at haiku only in Japanese.

[T-Bone Texan]

A haiku:

Reduced to children
A formerly free people
Now adolescents

I am sick of this “wardrobe malfunction” nonsense... It was a PLANNED event.

He reached over and with deliberate action pulled a detachable piece of clothing off. She even had a decorative metal piece on her nipple.

The lyrics of the song even said something about him removing her clothes before the song was over.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Justin, blacks HATE you because you’re white. #welcometotheparty.

My thoughts exactly.
