nailed it. perfect score.

I agree with you on the hypocrisy, its overwhelming. but they are determined to have no blemishes with regards to the safety of the athletes and don't take kindly to these stories coming out if they aren't true.

you’re missing the point. the fact that she’s African American IS part of her story, as I think she’s the first (don’t quote me) to win a gold in swimming in this particular race. however, the headline is wack. it would be the same as saying “woman wins gold” focusing on the person’s gender and not simply calling them…

watching those goons wave their hands in those women’s faces infuriated me.

one of the police shooters, no?

don't forget the kids. your kids have to be present for maximum impact, because role models...

brilliant social commentary. so spot on and hilarious. ditto to the other note about reading your book - I’d totally read it!

some people never change. he's a remorseless dirt bag.

yes, and so should 20/2o. shame on juju chang for giving him a platform.

I’m so done with Juju Chang, who conducted the interview. The whole thing is so racist, making him out to be a football hero and cop, framed by a horde of zombie crack heads and prostitutes. to do that to other women, already vulnerable for their race and poverty is unconscionable.

marital privilege obviously exists for a reason. she has just a much a right as anyone to take advantage of it. the vitriol against her is emotional and irrational. cosby himself? now that's another matter entirely.

where did you read that about cosby's wife? this is my first time hearing that.
