Lawd!

favors storytelling and narrative over evidence and data

No one, but no one, can bring home an article like Michael Harriott. Every final sentence in a Harriott piece is like a Tyson right uppercut.

Who knows? There was a lot of that wheelchair n’ walker, pitiful old man playacting during his trial, trying to milk the jury for sympathy. Pretty sure that all got left at the courthouse door when no longer needed.

I think you overate Fox News hosts.

Cosby’s release on an obvious technicality does not bother me.

Roman Polanski still shining that Oscar for “The Piano” every Saturday morning still though...

‘It increasingly seems like morality is just a way to keep dumb people in line so the elite can continue their stranglehold on wealth and power.’

While they laugh all the way to the bank and call us all “suckers” behind closed doors. 

“No one is going to work with him. No studio. No A-list actor or filmmaker. It would kill your reputation. Not to mention that you’d have to justify it to your friends and family. How could you do that? He is toxic.”

This would mean a whole lot more if he wasn’t already rich as shit and for all intents and purposes retired. Sigh.

*Sigh* Cynically and jadedly, I’ll wait for the outcome.

Agreed! If an unhinged person tackled my minor child, I don’t think I could keep from counter-attacking. She was all kinds of wrong and putting your hands on someone’s child - you get what you get.

She is soooo lucky the Mother of that young man wasn’t in the lobby when she “approached” and tackled him, she would have gotten the beating of a life time.

If ever we needed another reminder not to make these celebrities idols, Phylicia Rashad did it for me. These people live in an alternative reality. They are in a constant state of ‘performing’. I’m beyond disgusted.

Fred Hampton was assassinated by the police and FBI as part of an orchestrated conspiracy to take down a visionary leader of many black citizens. MLK assassinated, Malcolm X assassinated. Black men with power and influence have not fared well in this country. It’s a small miracle that Frederick Douglass died of old…

I agree that she’s not clueless or warped enough to somehow be “pro-rape”, so we can all agree she wouldn’t, in any universe, be seriously defending the act of “rape” — but yet, she is loudly and publicly defending a confessed rapist on Twitter.

It’s a very weird public stance for someone to take who has spent decades…

I keep telling folks, a person’s soapbox is usually their vice.

I thought about all this and the spell was broken, likely for good.

Exactly. Anytime you put someone up on a pedestal like that you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Nobody is perfect and the vast majority of people are extremely far from it. Model your life after what you think is good and right, not anybody else’s opinion and especially not the opinion of an actor.
