I agree. I’m glad he left it alone. He would have flubbed it bigly, and found a way to make it about himself in true “Aretha Franklin used to work for me” fashion.

Because I don’t believe for one minute that Nike would front Kaepernick if they didn’t think there was money to be made. I’m not mad at them, I’m just saying.

Does not surprise me at all, considering that Texas is the same state where the board of education recently voted to remove Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller from the history curriculum.

Good black don’t crack!  ;-)

Seriously.  If they aren’t the embodiment of “just do it” I don’t know what is.

Basically, Costco vs Sam’s = Target vs Walmart.

“This dude burned a complete set of Marshalls clearance-rack Nikes that he purchased with his own money to protest Nike standing with Kap.”

Yeah, I just learned that he has been friends with the family for over 40 years. Which makes me even more perplexed by his choice to shade the late Mr. Franklin’s parenting skills. His entire “message” was wholly inappropriate, and I really hope the family took him aside afterwards and got him together.

7. I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THE CLINTONS?

What?  No mention of the Obama shade thrown by Michael Eric Dyson?

Oh SNAP!

Jason Whitless is the hater’s hater, and his hate for Serena has always been extra, to the point of it being personal. It could be jealousy Maybe he’s jealous that he can never have her. Maybe he’s jealous that he can never be her. Maybe he’s jealous that she represents everthing that he is NOT, and never will be. Or…

A short list of words that start with “m” that DeSantis could have used here:

“But I distrust anyone who disavows who they are and says: ‘I don’t want to be seen as a black actor or as a black man.’”

“Aretha and Al were friends. They probably got their hair done together.”

War is peace.

Oh for Pete’s sake give it a rest woman!!!! Aretha Franklin died today, and you just haaaad to make it about YOU!!! Like, you couldn’t have waited until tomorrow? Can’t the Queen of Soul have her day of rememberance without your messiness and shenannigans?!!! You have no shame. Show some RESPECT.  

We have lost our national treasure and a legend.  May the Queen’s reign last forever and ever. Amen
