I would agree with this take if the recording industry was pushing for women to cover up and it was an issue of female performers refusing to conform. However, the reality is that it was not the sole discussion of women in the industry. It was male producers and record exes who pushed for female performers to wear as…

What people are born is not their fault, if they have access to power and do little to right societal wrongs while able to is another story altogether.

Instead we should blame Gorbachev (and Yeltsin) for selling out their country and making it the capitalist disaster it is today.

Stop it with the stupid videos. Please. 

The work that he and Don Cheadle did together was fantastic.

I’m with you, mc2isbad. I used the term Pangaean to signify the extinctions I saw over time.

Joe Rogen is a racist clown who tries to pretend that he isn’t. Since we as black people deal with racism and white supremacy on a daily basis we know it when we see it. If that is how he feels, then he should convince the police, banks, realtors, etc who discriminate against us due to our skin color that we are just…

I wouldn’t be too sad to see Clinton go down as well.
Yeah, he may have been an okay president, but he’s also a skeezy perv who needs to be held accountable. 

No “e. All of the Above.” ?

Real talk, I had been quit fucking with Dave a couple of specials back; long before any of the controversy... because he just wasn’t funny anymore.

I’m rarely in the comment section but this is my take, too.

It’s part of my “Conscious Rapper” theory: That we think great artists are smart because art hides their lack of depth. But when you take away the art, you realize you don’t want to hear them talk.

See: Ice Cube, Erykah Badu, David Banner, Jill Scott, Killer…

It was never about free speech but always about impunity.

The only person who forgot Dave Chapelle was a comedian is Dave Chapelle.

All I want for Christmas is for people to stop comparing Dave Chapelle to Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

Dave Chappelle is not our friend. Dave Chappelle is a stranger. Dave Chappelle doesn’t know a single goddamn thing about you, about me, about anyone else listening to his heavily produced and edited stand-up recordings.

Right!  I would have picked Patrice O’neil over Burress.

Psssst!

I just realized why white parents in hick states are so opposed to teaching their public-school kids about the history of race relations in the U.S. It’s not, as Dr. Rice absurdly suggests, that the kids are going to come home and say, “I learned about the Ocoee Massacre in school today, it was obscenely indefensible,…

Condoleezza* Rice, Ph.D, professor, diplomat, etc., conveniently leaves out that she was born into some privilege (though that’s never been enough to completely shield Black folks). She further ignores that being born in 1954 meant she benefited from the arduous, unabated labor of African-Americans of all…

This is the key of the entire deal.
