I think LA will be able to field a good, and quite likely excellent, team around LeBron. They may even win a ring or two!

I propose we have a new phrase for jumping the shark.

I basically agree with all this except for the bit about Spotify being forced to retract their decision to remove X’s and R. Kelly’s music.

I mean, to hell with them both. But you’re not about to have me rallying behind a moralistic outcry that begins and ends with black people. If they were serious about that…

What is the over-under for the first Jerry Jones reference? 15 words?

Never forget: “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

But lower taxes, AMIRITE!?

Guys I’m starting to think maybe it’s not really about the anthem.

But, like, can we have Wally as the main Flash?

“These ‘scars’ tell my history which include a dark time when I was in prison”

Iron Man (LeBron) almost had Thanos’s glove off, and Star Lord (J.R.) had to come in and screw it all up. The following massacre is all his fault.

Can we stop this shit? Can we stop with this “Wasn’t it great when we murdered each other over music battles” bullshit? No, no it wasn’t. Go say that shit to Biggie’s kid and see where it gets you.

I don’t get how people still hate this guy. It’s just stubbornness and contrarianism.

I’m sure CTE has something to do with his behavior, but it would not surprise me in the slightest if Incognito was really, really into Alex Jones.

Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.

You think this guy will embrace a teachable moment? You really think he doesn’t believe what he said? If he regrets saying what he said, he only regrets the result. The bully gets bullied. Fair game as far as I’m concerned. Karma’s a bitch.

Counterpoint: Public shaming may be the tool most appropriate to change not only his behavior, but that of the next racist.

... I believe that the place in pop culture in which Donald Glover exists has never been occupied...

No one ever says this about Frederick Douglass, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poiter, Henry Louis Gates, Quincy Jones, or James Brown. At point all of these Black men who championed or were a beacon for civil rights were dating/married to White women. So why don’t they get the same stank eye too?

It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…

I’m also not here for it, because i’m already seeing extra spicy takes about Glover having a white lover and interracial children. This all feels like Hotep bait and i’m not here for it. Celebrate the art. Celebrate the artist. Don’t worship any of these niggas, you’ll be disappointed.
