That’s what i find frustrating about the whole thing. To say that the Cosby show was the only example of a “black family with intact values;” is bullshit. I know it was ground breaking at the time for a TV SHOW to depict that reality, but there were plenty of black families IRL that also had “intact family values.”

the idea that is was a “fairytale” either came from the media or from Cosby trying to sell something “unique” and never-before-seen.

Post-Huxtables. And they were uber rich, richer than most families on TV at the time, period. The Huxtables were upper middle class but their kids went to public school, they liked each other, they were college educated... Like my family. But both black and white people to my face at the time said they were a made up…

They’re just being obtuse. I’ve seen people say the same thing then go on to say something racially insensitive. It’s how they work.

He was talking about the concept of a successful and intact Black family, which people now and then denied existed. Do you really think he thinks the Huxtables were real people and his real family?

I was actually rooting for Kanye & Alexis. He was with her before, they broke and he started dating a woman named Brooke. Then Kanye and Alexis got back together, got engaged then broke up again. There were suggestions that he met Amber while he was with Alexis but it never went beyond friendship until him and Alexis…

Actually he was still with his ex fiance, Alexis Phifer during Graudation. 808s & Heartbreak was due to the end of that relationship and the death of his mother.

It’s because he’s made good art, he just happens to be a bit of an asshole.

Amber Rose confuses me (see also Azealia Banks), some days I’m like

Honestly a lot of his music is really good, and his fashion lines are p good too. He’s just one of the many talented people who are also assholes.

I’d rather not. Kim kan keep Kanye.

He loves the sound of his own voice sOoOoOo much that he rarely thinks before he speaks, and what comes out is pretentious nonsense.

I’m so disappointed that he’s turned out to be such a fucking clueless douche.I liked him so much.

Matt Damon, stop talking. Just stop.

please don’t give rich people money

I agree. I am not African American but I am half white and half Armenian and even in my case, I felt racially profiled. (I can’t even fathom how much worse it is for PoC- it makes me sick) I know that sounds really ridiculous, but the area I live in is extremely white. In fact the officer checked the box “other” for…

Look at the white woman making it about her.... So adorable.

But what kind of sleight of hand? Does she replace the ring with a fake one? Did the fake one come from one of those vending machines that has rub on tattoos and alien head stickers?

I kind of love that this 84 year old woman was able to walk into an upscale store and convince them she was in the market for a pricey engagement ring. I’m too embarrassed to walk into Tiffany’s and be caught even looking at anything for too long.

And you know what? He fuckin deserves it.
