"title": "Internet Tantrum of the Week: Why #FreeMilo is Kinda Funny But Really Important",
"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>There’s a mass tantrum underway on Twitter right now, and it's going by several names: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeMilo&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeMilo\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeMiloNow&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeMiloNow\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeNero&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeNero\u003c/a> are just a few. (The grossest is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FreeDaddy&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">#FreeDaddy\u003c/a>.) Now, be forewarned -- what you’ll see will either make you laugh hysterically or seethe with rage, so prepare yourself before clicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s happening on those hashtags is the result of Twitter booting conservative columnist and infamous troll Milo Yiannopoulos on from the social media site on July 18, apparently permanently. Yiannopoulos; his employer, the conservative website Breitbart News; and his thousands of fans -- his Twitter account @nero had over 330,000 followers -- have been on a rampage against the San Francisco-based company ever since his suspension was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FromNoWhere97/status/755895171351351296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been a long time coming, no matter what his supporters say.

Like a mid-summer gift arriving every Wednesday, it has been a small bit of auditory delight. The first episode, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2016/05/31/479733094/the-code-switch-podcast-episode-1-can-we-talk-about-whiteness\">Can We Talk About Whiteness?\u003c/a>,”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made me call up my friends from college to reminisce about reading “What’s in your Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh. Her voice has a lovely lilt. The podcast was \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">created by a team of talented POCs working at the epicenter of whiteness -- public radio (NPR diversity stats can be seen \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2015/12/15/459707396/nprs-staff-diversity-numbers-updated\">here\u003c/a>, KQED is yet to release theirs). The Code Switch doesn't shy away from these stats, they've spoken candidly about the whiteness of public media. While there are moments that sound a bit scripted (and one moment comes to mind in which Gene Demby sounded like he was trying to slow his excitement), this podcast is sure to keep me looking forward to Wednesdays for a while. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Politically Re-Active\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hari Kondabolu and W.Kamau Bell are two of my favorite comedians, so it only makes sense that I would appreciate this POC-cast. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.politicallyreactive.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Politically Re-Active\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is, as Kondabolu describes it in the first episode, “basically what we do over the phone, except recorded and in front of white people.”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It succeeds because these dudes are funny, smart and they are tackling relevant issues.

It's also true that, in this so-called “golden age of podcasts,” some of my favorites happen to be by brown folks -- people who have historically been underrepresented in media jobs, and people who, mind you, actually represent this country's future majority. According to the U.S. Census, people of color will exceed white people by \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85fr6nbiMT4\">2042\u003c/a>.

Like a mid-summer gift arriving every Wednesday, it has been a small bit of auditory delight. The first episode, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2016/05/31/479733094/the-code-switch-podcast-episode-1-can-we-talk-about-whiteness\">Can We Talk About Whiteness?\u003c/a>,”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made me call up my friends from college to reminisce about reading “What’s in your Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh. Her voice has a lovely lilt. The podcast was \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">created by a team of talented POCs working at the epicenter of whiteness -- public radio (NPR diversity stats can be seen \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2015/12/15/459707396/nprs-staff-diversity-numbers-updated\">here\u003c/a>, KQED is yet to release theirs). The Code Switch doesn't shy away from these stats, they've spoken candidly about the whiteness of public media. While there are moments that sound a bit scripted (and one moment comes to mind in which Gene Demby sounded like he was trying to slow his excitement), this podcast is sure to keep me looking forward to Wednesdays for a while. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Politically Re-Active\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hari Kondabolu and W.Kamau Bell are two of my favorite comedians, so it only makes sense that I would appreciate this POC-cast. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.politicallyreactive.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Politically Re-Active\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is, as Kondabolu describes it in the first episode, “basically what we do over the phone, except recorded and in front of white people.”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It succeeds because these dudes are funny, smart and they are tackling relevant issues.

Sure, these thoughts resonate with people, but they're usually the people who already get it. Meanwhile, those with outdated, ignorant beliefs dig their heels in and take the opportunity to send charming hate mail and leave unhinged comments, like the person who, in response to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/06/27/justin-timberlake-finally-gets-called-out-12-years-after-nipplegate/\">my essay earlier this week about Cultural Appropriator Extraordinaire™ Justin Timberlake\u003c/a>, wrote a dissertation that included the words \"welfare,\" \"uncivilized\" and \"As a white person, I definitely feel sorry for you people.\" Gotta applaud the tenacity of folks like this, who are wholly dedicated to showing their entire ass when freaking out on the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately it's better to put these thoughts out here. If I make one single racist/homophobe/misogynist second-guess himself (and these people are almost always a himself) for a fraction of a second, I'll count that as a win.

Sure, these thoughts resonate with people, but they're usually the people who already get it. Meanwhile, those with outdated, ignorant beliefs dig their heels in and take the opportunity to send charming hate mail and leave unhinged comments, like the person who, in response to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/06/27/justin-timberlake-finally-gets-called-out-12-years-after-nipplegate/\">my essay earlier this week about Cultural Appropriator Extraordinaire™ Justin Timberlake\u003c/a>, wrote a dissertation that included the words \"welfare,\" \"uncivilized\" and \"As a white person, I definitely feel sorry for you people.\" Gotta applaud the tenacity of folks like this, who are wholly dedicated to showing their entire ass when freaking out on the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately it's better to put these thoughts out here. If I make one single racist/homophobe/misogynist second-guess himself (and these people are almost always a himself) for a fraction of a second, I'll count that as a win.

In some cases, it takes dogged determination to separate the canines from the cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puppy or bagel? Chihuahua or muffin? These are the gnawing questions raised by Zack, who tweets from \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/teenybiscuit\">@teenybiscuit\u003c/a>. She's a freelance assistant director in media production who splits her time between Portland, Ore., and Seattle. But she tells us she's looking to get into advertising strategy (we hear she's good with the puparazzi).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, she's pointered out the similarities between other animals and foods (duckling or plantain?), but it's the dogs that have sunk their teeth into the Internet's funny bone. Zack says her image comparing Labradoodles to fried chicken got things going — call it the bark heard round the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And her fetching work has imitators nipping at her heels. (See Dalmatian or chocolate chip ice cream? Pug or loaf? Shar-Pei or croissant?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
