They said she could be bothered to apply.

As long as Spike Lee keeps his mouth shut, (I blame him for the last Oscar shutout.) I feel like the Academy is going to load this one up and not to correct the past snub. From the chills the trailer gave, it will be deserved.

Maybe not calling them Freaknikers...

Because the reverb of a football stadium set up for a football game is not the same as it is for a concert. Everyone lip syncs their performances for Superbowl. EVERYONE. What I think would be an issue is if she lip synced someone else performing the song. What she did though is lip sync a performance she created…

I now agree with my wife’s assertion. It was personal. One or more of the officers knew Nichols. It explains a lot. And somehow makes what was a worse case scenario “worse-er.”

But, but, Black President? Post racial society? So long ago?

I’m a Sigma. I love my organization. I rep my colors proudly. I would be concerned if a random dude was walking around wearing para that I knew was not a member. Hell, I’d be mad if a celebrity that I knew was not a member was walking around, no matter what kind of publicity it was giving us.

Pasty? Lol. I love the typo! Intentional or not it’s great.

So first, thank you. Got pushed to 12/12 expiration. So... what’s to stop me from doing this 5 times to get Ultimate for a year for $45?

Thank you. That’s all I got. I’m in a class of testing students and I’m four songs in getting mad that they have questions interrupting my listening.

I used to hate Lupe Fiasco. I thought that Kick Push was the stupidest thing I had heard when it came on MTV (that’s how old I am) and I changed the channel. Now I love most of his work. The one that changed it for me? Dumb it Down.

I remember when some late night host, probably Stewart or Colbert went and talked to Middle America about Obamacare. They hated it. Spit the words out like it tasted bad. And then they were asked if they would rather have healthcare that... and were given a list of everything in the Affordable Care Acts. They loved…

Remember that year that Denzel won and said under his breath, “Two birds. One stone,” because Halle won as well? That’s how I feel. I haven’t watched Parasite yet. But the pessimist in me kept wondering if it kept winning because it was the only non-whote option?

It was so close to a haiku, that I had to...

The real answer for the person that EVERY Black person and the fewest white people know is Kiki Shepard.

I had to parphrase Sugar and Spice for my wife. It’s like some goddamn Gift of the Magi thing.

I see what he means. I’m 45, originally from rural Arkansas. Everytime I heard nigger, it was a white man talking to me, my cousins, or an older relative, with impunity. When we got home, it was used when we were doing something we weren’t supposed to or to disparage anyone else even with the same skin tone. Slowly…

Can she sell out a 50,000 seat arena (41,701) with people who have never paid for her before? That’s the question. Netflix’s criteria are subscribers. and we’re talking new, not sharing a login from cousin Greg, subscribers.
