Oklahoma and Defense of Big Government

(The Root) -- The tornado that devastated Oklahoma this week requires significant government aid to support recovery. This presents a unique problem for the Republican Party writ large -- both in the state and in Washington, D.C. -- as requests for aid, and approval thereof, undercut its meme of "self-reliance" and the dangers of "big government."

'Scandal' Withdrawal: It's a Real Thing

(The Root) -- Thursday nights will never be the same (at least until September). After last week's head-exploding closing line -- "Dad?!" -- fans of ABC's cultural phenomenon Scandal have been left with a gaping h*** in their social calendars. What to tweet about? What to actually talk about? What's a gladiator to do without the deliciously over-the-top antics of Olivia Pope and Associates to spice up an otherwise nonscandalous existence?

On Listening to 'New Slaves' With White People

Writing at Noisey, Ernest Baker explains why, although he thinks Kanye West's new single is "27 times better if you're black," he hopes that white listeners will attempt to understand its message.

... It's not that white people can't enjoy "New Slaves," or that they're all so dense as to not be able to grasp the more serious implications of this record. There is, however, a danger that lies in how this record will be received -- there's a consciousness that's lost when there's not an organic relation to the content, and its effects are much more devastating if you don't possess an acute sense of education and sensitivity to these issues.
