This current crop of grifters makes W look like one of the Founding Fathers.

This is important and I’m so sick of people’s amnesia when it comes to stuff like this (same with people’s current retrofit of George W. Bush’s image and legacy) —- THESE ARE SHITTY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT DESERVE ADMIRATION AND PRAISE FOR DOING SOMETHING “CUTE” ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
I see where you’re coming from, but in the context of this whole comment thread, it definitely came across as skeptical of his sexuality. As you say - life’s too short, and personally I don’t care what choices other people make for themselves as long as those choices aren’t hurting others. I’ve always subscribed to…
Early background or not, he’s been filmed plenty of times making extremely graphic jokes about his sexual experiences with men. See: https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/1822820034
People over in the other thread Damon posted acting like there’s no way, and his wife is just trying to get some money/attention... to that I say: y’all obviously never really listened to what the man said. He was up front about it since his earliest stand-ups (check out “Live and Smokin’” on Netflix) but no one…
Did you read the actual interview? Because it definitely wasn’t the ramblings of a senile person. It was coherent, clear-eyed analysis of so many things people are typically too scared to say out loud, and especially not on record.
Nah, not taking Jennifer’s word on this - sensing a profit motive here.. NOW, if Pam Grier says so, it’s true!
The “liberal platform on comportment” is quite simple, yet all-encompassing: MY BODY, MY CHOICE.
Except the FAMILY didn’t cooperate — MLK’s greedy son who sued his sister Bernice (who is as vehemently opposed to this kind of thing as her father would have been if he hadn’t been assassinated by those terrified of his radical messages of economic justice) so that he *could* sell out his father’s image and words to…
It’s actually not a rat (too big, no tail) but most likely a pacarana, and the poor little guy is probably trying to remove whatever foamy substance is all over it:
“If this is your idea of ‘problematic’ you have a pretty good life.”
Yes, as I mention below, there’s a difference between people’s vocations/occupations as mascots (e.g. 49ers, Brewers, Cowboys, etc) - https://www.theroot.com/1822541789
Conflating people’s VOCATIONS, etc that are used as mascots with marginalized populations isn’t doing your pet cause any favors. (and yes, quite a few that you listed naming actual indigenous peoples, etc (even ones like “the Fighting Irish” who were previously a very marginalized group in this country (see…
Shawnee are not a race. Cherokee are not a race. Texans are not a race. Anasazi are not a race. Get it?
So by your rules, calling your team the “Human Beings” is discriminatory.
Nope. How many times does it have to be said before people get it through their thick heads: they’re PEOPLE NOT MASCOTS. Animals can be mascots. Inanimate objects can be mascots. Plants can be mascots. Weird made up creatures can be mascots. NOT PEOPLE. And *especially* not people who are already marginalized. If you…
