Don’t really agree with the inclusion of Kendrick Lamar — what he was doing with his stance was pointing out (rightfully) the cherrypicking by Spotify when SO many other artists (from James Brown to Elvis) with similar pasts weren't getting taken off playlists. I think it's an important distinction and never implied…

This is SO overdue. Donny had a truly amazing voice (best ever for a male singer, imo) and excellent content in his music.  

No. 8 ... that would really be dope (gotta get Dre to leave NYC, tho).

Also, as an old head (whose mom asked if he was crazy when he asked her back in ‘85 if she’d by him the first Air Jordans, which were an astounding $65 back then), I recall the whole evolution of these sneakers. Aside from his ascension to otherworldly athlete after a great rookie campaign, and injury riddled 2nd…

Did you notice how Dubya was looking past Dotard Trump (probably at the Obamas, most likely Michelle) when he walked up? It's like he was reminded he was there when he stood to shake Dubya's hand. Lol ... nobody likes or respects that guy ...

Yeah that term caught my attention most -- thanks for clarifying where it stems from. 

Just wanted to remind you, her name was spelled Strange — perfect for her character.

Seems like nothing is ever mandatory for the police ...

I’m also keeping an eye on the Justine Damond case in Minneapolis — definitely want to see if the charges and trials of these two cops who did the killings (Guyger and Noor) will be treated any differently (for obvious reasons): https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-murder-charge-sought-minneapolis-officer-s-killing…

Bruh, you’re so wrong for that Kool-Aid/STEM gap comment! LMAO

Maybe it’s time for black people to start just randomly calling 911 on white people for no reason (preferably those of us who have mastered the “white” voice, and can stay in our homes and won’t have to be visible to the cops when they arrive, because ... you know). Then when the cops start complaining, or better yet…

Agreed 100%. Even though I’m black, I can’t speak for all of us, but I know my recent disdain for many white women has been at those who portray themselves as progressive or as being allies but don’t do shit but talk (McGowan) and get all defensive and lash out when POC try to correct them on our experiences (Midler,…

Congrats to Colorado ... now if only the federal government would follow suit with making this adjustment to the 13th Amendment ...

Yep, the shooter was a 28-year-old white male former Marine. And there were several armed off-duty cops at the bar when the attack happened (just to counter the NRA’s, Ann Coulter’s, etc. point). This country’s decadence is in overdrive now ...

Glad she’s doing this (almost wish Gillum did the same, but I guess it wasn’t mathematically feasible even though it was pretty close). At least if there’s a runoff there won’t be a 3rd party candidate siphoning off votes — it’ll just be woman vs. cheater, with all eyes carefully watching.

This right here -- I heard about this while listening to an NPR report on it and then I knew it would get the votes needed. Regardless, it's a victory and is moving things in the right direction.

I had always thought it would be a great comedy skit to honk at a cop car. Larry David actually had a scene like that in the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but he wasn’t nearly as unruly as this guy. Just goes to show you reality is definitely stranger than fiction. Either way, us black folk can’t even…

So true. That’s always been my biggest problem with the GOP — claiming to be the party of Christ yet representing almost everything opposite. It amazes me how all these so-called Christians follow a party with so much hypocrisy (pro-life and pro death penalty, really?). The GOP’s worship of money and big…

So true, many school curricula are actively trying to erase the uncomfortable history of America, but this exacerbates the problems ... it's both lazy and sad.

Desperation is a stinky cologne ...
