Except that she had already done the exact same thing 2 weeks prior and they managed not to kill her then.

If they were justified what’s the $3.5 million for?  

Gee what a surprise.

And what was the clip they played from King Richard? “You’re not representing yourself; you’re representing little black girls all over the world.”

I’d argue that it’s the other way around: It shows how unprotected Black women are. No way in hell would Chris Rock have made that joke about a white woman suffering from a serious medical condition.

The proper Rock response after the slap should have been:

25k?  That man needs a new lawyer. 

He seems like such a healthy, centered man. I love interviews with him because he’s just so sane and really witty on top of it. We are all better off that he decided not to go into the priesthood.

Mr. Burton has too much class, integrity and intelligence to be associated with the internal drama and backstabbing bullshit over at Sony. The powers to be were fully complicit in appointing that dimwitted, dull, sexist white boy as the next Jeopardy host. If that reporter had not exposed his recorded, ignorant…

Richards–a man who is about as nondescript as a naked Old Navy mannequin

It’s like if they’d have skipped over Letterman and given the Tonight Show to Leno. Then to somebody else, then to Leno again.

It would be like if they’d passed Geordi LaForge for the Captaincy and given it to Barkley. 

He wasn’t denied the job based on lack of merit, he was denied it based on old-boy network corporate idiocy in the back room. It was sad for viewers that he was denied the work, but it may be best for him, personally, in the long term.

🤔

That shot of him standing in front of the imagery of slaves is remarkably powerful. Well done.

Well, we should all be able capable of acknowledging more than one truth at once, and the existence of contradictions within the same space. We can also both enjoy something while holding space to critique/cringe at it.

With a 2.5 degree of difficulty twist.

Why is it that whenever anyone mentions white people or racism, you automatically attack “the Democrats?” It’s almost like you don’t believe there’s a difference between a Republican and a racist.

When I was 25 I broke my foot. I ended up in the hospital with a blood clot in my leg. Had to stay in there 9 days, 4 of which were in ICU. I couldn’t take a shower when I was in ICU. The day I was getting out of ICU, I asked the nurse on duty if he would please wash my hair. He got some dry shampoo from the gift shop…

“Wash clothes, loofas, sponges”
