I’d put a flat panel outside his cell showing Murphy’s SNL episode on an endless loop and the volume set to 11.

Eddie might be coming into being the Grand-dad type America is looking for. Just seeing him hustle through Dolemite with integrity and earnestness made me feel better about the future. He could have easily dipped out and let it all fall apart, but he’s out there making people smile and I’m here for it.

Shit, I would put more of that statement behind people like fucking Richard Pryor than anyone.

The poster child for respectability politics and “uplift suasion” is calling someone else a “coon?”

Cause Eddie didn’t have to rape people to get laid.

let’s add Redd Foxx and Dick Gregory as other original bad-asses that led to Murphy.

I’m going to head out on a limb and suggest that Richard Pryor blazed a trail for Murphy far more than Cosby did.

Murphy nearly single-handedly saved SNL when he was fucking nineteen years old.  He wasn’t “given” shit.

When you look at what drugs are doing…

Well, per Richard Prior (i.e. Murphy), it’s ‘have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up, the jello-pudding eating motherfucker’. (Loved that line -- as much as was wrong with Raw and Delirious, there’s still some hilarious stuff)

Cosby thought he was the best of “the good ones.”He had decades worth of getting away with it to make him think he was untouchable. Plus he made it a mission for himself to go around winning white accolades by preaching respectability politics. All while secretly being a monster.

Andrew Wyatt is a hotep that needs to take a grammar class so he can learn That he Doesn’t Need to capitalize Random words.

Takes a serious set of stones to complain about disparaging a guy in prison for rape. Especially since what is Cosby also famous for? *checks notes* Oh, right, disparaging black people in general.

“One would think that Mr. Murphy was given his freedom to leave the plantation so that he could make his own decisions...”

If you teach the intent and meaning of what’s written, you also have to teach the part about how it was written by unreliable narrators with their own agendas. While I think that’s the most interesting part of the Bible, it’s not exactly going to make most people open up their wallets.

Last Week Tonight, John Oliver did a great piece on China. As he pointed out, not even the U.N. mentions China’s human rights abuses; the minute someone does, China threatens to lock them out.

I agree with the first part, but I won’t miss the open-pipe throttle blippers cutting between lanes from the blind spot on my car. 

It’s almost like they haven’t learned any lessons about over-valuing brand identity.

I could see HD filing bankruptcy and a Chinese fund buying them out.  Now that’s a market for electrified things on 2 wheels.

There are multiple videos on the internet, on youtube.com, that you can look up right now and see this exact thing happening.
