Eh, you missed the point.
I hate that Eddie is such an asshole now.
" Have a coke and smile and shut the fuck up"
when was he EVER funny? Endearing, sure. Maybe. Funny though? Compared to Richard Pryor? Nah.
I wouldn't count on much enlighted behavior from Eddie Murphy.
He's 77 years old. Eventually, he'll go away forever.
Richard Pryor was a fucking genius. I've never held swearing against a comedian. It's just a tool, like any other tool. You want to perform without swear words? Bless your heart and I hope you do well. But that just makes you a different comedian, not a superior one. It's just one piece of the picture.
Yes, Latinas and Black women making minimum wage have to support White millionaire ladies!
Oh, honey, no. It's just really fucking tacky to make a big speech about wage equality and then ask queer women and women of color to pitch in and help, as if they haven't already been fighting in the fucking trenches of feminism for decades now. And I think you know that... or if you don't, you're dim as hell.
I'm not giving either of these idiots a pass. Stacey Dash, just....*sigh* She reminds me of a lot of successful black actors who seem to think their personal success means there is no racism in Hollywood.
For people like Eddie Murphy to stop worrying about poor widdle Billy's "bruised ego" and refusing to "kick a [rapist] when he's down"—and start caring exponentially more about the damage he has caused, the harm he has inflicted upon his victims, and if/when BC will own up to being a rapist.
This stuff just blows my mind.
Sometimes Twitter IS perfection.
What he was? You mean a man who was probably more readily able to admit his own flaws than either you or I? I can nary think of another historical or political figure who was as capable of nuanced thought or as willing to publicly own up to his past mistakes as Malcolm X.
Oh man. This makes me laugh. This is what it's like to be in a grad program for the humanities. All the "well, actually, I'm not sexist, at all, I'm the least sexist person of all. Let me tell you about all of the male authors who are superior to every female author you mention though while perusing my woman-less…
I want to kiss this sketch on the mouth.
