So glad I haven’t given a damn thing to these companies. And grateful most of my family is too broke or cheap to even think to spit in a tube for THE MAN. :)

I also have faith that the following generation after next will be even more progressive then the generation before it . I don’t see this trend going backwards .
LOL! History, life, etc, when looking back is dramatic! Doesn’t make it less true.
When someone disregards the actions of those bent on our destruction, that’s an action I can’t ignore.
Then we fit in with the rest of the world and the rest of society. Nobody is a monolith unless its the greedy. They seem to stay on message! :)
Doesn’t that just mean that unless we all can escape it, none of us will? It just seems like some black celebrities forget the bricks and mortar work it takes to survive a racist society because they can live above it. (unless they get pulled to the side of the road by the cops). They can and should be reminded there…
After looking at this reply and your reply to Enkidu, I think your way could have worked better in the past, but not now. There are now too many hands in the pot invested in keeping the status quo.
Uh, that’s what Generation X said. :) All that happens is the younger generation lives in the bubble of kumbaya until they get out on their own. Then they experience the million micro and macro-aggressions that will remain until we get on the same page. Racism isn’t going away with a good attitude. That’s a cop out…
Uhh... you know every celebrity and billionaire needs to fear for their dead balls now right? I only need 20% less ethics to stalk bill gates (or brad pitt, warren buffett, etc) until he drops dead, pay off some poor hospital tech a couple of thou to access his corpse, and impregnate myself with my retirement plan.…
Can we at least get a what if ? or at least the next 5 minutes after the credits rolled?
I’m ashamed that I keep snort giggling about this. I hate you!
Yeah, we think they are big enough now to support themselves but will they be able to say the same in 20 years? I just really fear them becoming Sarah Ferguson part II and seeing Meghan doing infomercials at 3 am in 2030.
Dude, don’t get me started on how they screwed that show up. They kept baiting us that she might come back.and then claimed she was reborn in the body of a white kid. Really?!?!? God forbid we have a black female lead that didn’t fall in line with pre-established stereotypes. I do have to say the pandering hit advanced…
Hey, As someone Born and Bred in Arkansas in a shotgun house whose mother still talks to the bugs like they are her friends and who suckled on pigs feet before I knew what the heck I was eating, I win Negro Geography. I beat out anyone from Mississippi because no one even remembers Arkansas. I am delta, Wells Bayou…
Wow. It didn’t change my mind about Pete. (Sit down!! Maybe next time.) And I am still absorbing it all but this was the first time I saw the impact of the media in real time like this. Thank you for your thoughtful writing and I actually am excited about what Pete will do in the future once he’s gotten a little more…
This sent me right to web sites for prison reform so I could figure out what I could do to help. Maybe it’s because I am a reader and sometimes that’s all I had to make it through the day. Prison is not supposed to be revenge but a way to obtain justice. Instead it seems they want to own you body and soul. Stay tuned,…
No
This is the most cartoon looking man I’ve ever seen. He’s hot but lord, I’m expecting him to burst into song.
Could you guys please add closed captions to these videos?
Blackface was hilarious back then too......
