I was ALL IN the summer I was 16 for these two shows. Such perfection.

I know right? Like they didn’t enslave black people for centuries because of black on black crime. Lynchings and Jim Crow here in America weren’t about black on black crime.

Exactly. For her to say that, just shows how much we’ve been indoctrinated with negative ideas about ourselves. We’re always too happy to take on blame for our own abuse.

yeah, her passion and love for our people got me weeping, but I can’t even get myself to give her that blue star or share the video because of all the black-on-black shit. like boo boo i’m pretty sure Europeans divided us long before we had access to guns.

Oh god right in the childhood

What about Kristen and the one thousand and one dopplegängers? Susan!!!

R.I.P. Timmy!!!

That turned me ALL THE WAY OFF. I can’t believe she even said something about these things happening to us because we’re “divided” and not “standing up” and a bunch of shit like that. Sure, she said some other great stuff and obviously got emotional, but the problem isn’t just racist white cops. It’s all of them, no…

Omg Timmy! I love you for bringing back this blast from my childhood past. I could never work out if he was a kid or an actual adult with some sort of Gary Coleman thing going on.

It’s a pity she had to mix the respectability politics in there. That kind of ruined it for me. We shouldn’t have to be perfect examples of citizenry to expect good/fair treatment.

You must be the same age as me. Through this whole comment I was just like YES, YEEESSSSSSSS.

Oh man, when Carrie punched Sammy in the face at that wedding, that shit was good TV! Bonus moment, anytime Stefano came back from the dead!

Timmy!!!!

Ermahgod I seriously would rush home from school so I could watch Passions without my mom finding out

RIP Josh Ryan Evans. He and Juliet Mills had such great comedic chemistry.

Sami/Kerri/Austin was the natural successor to the Marlena/John/Stefano triangle.

So wait, which one is poor, dumb Austin?

Of course. How could I have made such a stupid mistake. I apologize. I never really watched Passions, but my roommate did and every time I walked by there was something new and even more cracked-out going on.

He was not an insane kid. He was a doll brought to life by the witch lady.

Oh my God, I had forgotten about that insane kid in Passions! Soooo weird.
