You know, I had an interesting conversation about this with a German guy. White Americans (neither right nor left) have never had to come to terms with the fact that the country they live in isn’t the country they think they live in; Germans did, in 1945 and 1968. Some White People think America is an all-white, all…

“I’m bothered by the continuous reports of @Naomi_Osaka_ being the first Japanese world no. 1 tennis player ... everyone seems to forget she’s also the first Haitian to do so. Her dad was Haitian and mum Japanese. Why are black roots undermined in media?” A tennis player aligns with a country. That flag is next to…

Looking at the future of women’s tennis! Come thru Naomi, come thru!

so many stupid ideas out there floating around on why it’s a conspiracy against Brown-- one of which includes this deal he struck with Jive/RCA/Sony to own his master tapes-- and thus “THE ILLUMINATI” and a certain ethno-religious group who are assumed to dominate the entertainment biz are “not having it” and thus,…

Yep, the damage is done and there’s no recovering, even with new board members etc.

He’s been cancelled for me ever since he beat Rihanna, he gets none of my money nor do I listen to any of his music AND I’ve taught my daughter that  we don’t support abusive men even if they are black.  

She should very politely decline.

My neighbor, a centrist of old-school Republican origins, says that she slept her way to the top. Literally one minute of Googling puts that to rest, but I think the danger is that low-information moderates will believe something like that, because it’s easy and gives them something to hang their objections on other…

I feel sorry for those young men.

If that picture isn’t a perfect distillation of 400 plus years of white colonialism, I don’t know what is.

If you don’t remember who initiated the “walkback” (other than NYT, who - along with their in-office Ben Carson, Dean Baquet, we all know about now that he’s re-unleashed Ross Douthat and Andrew Sullivan on us) — it was Jake Tapper and the rest of the “centrist” anchors at CNN.

If you had asked him last week, this guy would surely have described himself as “a responsible gun owner,” and a person who “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.”

“I rise to celebrate his birthday because he was a great Virginian and a great American, and not because it has anything to do with slavery.”

“I rise to celebrate his birthday because he was a great Virginian and a great American...”

Benedict Arnold was a man of conviction.

I think the sketch also alerted a lot of people who didn’t know about any of the fucked up shit R Kelly was into. I remember explaining to people that there was literally a video on the internet of R Kelly peeing on an underage girl with a Space Jam mural in the background.

No, I remember Chappelle and Brennan’s writing in the sketch exactly the way he explained it. Dave’s joking intro and outro was kinda like, “ None of us can believe Kelly is so flagrant yet hasn’t been caught up!”

I get that people digest content differently based on a million different factors. I get that victims and those close to them (rightly) can’t tolerate jokes about this shit, but... I can’t be the only person who remembers how critical that skit was of Kelly.

I sure hope Eriq La Salle comes back... I need to know what happened to the Soul Glo empire! Did they pivot into edge control products... or perhaps expand into weaves and wigs? ... the possibilities are endless. Imagine a new jingle!
