*ahem* ‘Scuse me, Ms. Judge, but my black ass would have been sitting in a chair at the gate come 5:24A chilling with some jams and a cup of coffee.

I would argue that the only “black” part of his experience is the fact that he arrived at the airport at 6:00 a.m. for a 6:24 a.m. flight.

That’s alright using that performance was masterful and is why Colbert is winning. The story was personal; he was in the room. He kept it short and let Aretha do the rest. The addition of 44 in the clip was some classy Pete Souza shade.

I definitely got a little misty eyed at this. Didn’t know Aretha could play the piano. Loved when she got up and the crowd stood, and hooted when she threw off the fur coat. Also watching Carol King lose her shit and hold hands with George Lucas was amazing.

her voice just draws you in. my world just melted away for two minutes and the only thing that existed was Aretha Franklin hitting those notes out of the park and Carole King losing her mind about it. this might’ve be my favorite Aretha tribute yet, second maybe to the NYT tribute by Wesley Morris.

no, no they are cathartic. at least, that’s what I am telling myself here about 0700 today.

God would have struck down Trump if God was real. The Devil might be real though, that I could buy.

  Hey. I’m a white person in the grays and I gotta say Fuck Tami,Tomi shitbag. #notallwhitepeopleinthegrays

Couldn’t even read all that.

Um Tomi, don’t sell yourself short, we didn’t like you before Maxine Waters. This is all you girl. You pretending to not understand why feminist won't come to your aid is cute, but you side with a party that wants women in the kitchen and repeatedly shows they have no interest in your rights as a woman. Fuck off will…

And feminism doesn’t require we support shitty women from the consequences of doing and saying shitty things.

This is the only appropriate time to ever write this: #notallwhitemen

Wrong, Tammy - people are being mean to you because you are a feckless cunt.

For the other white people in the grays:

I never buy the drunk defense.  If anything being drunk just lets out who you really are.
