And many people in these comments are still disregarding the hurtful premise of using the death of black people to rehash the election. Nice to know that people have no problem to use black lives and deaths as props in order to prove a point in a verbal spat.

Uh, that conversation could have been done without using trotting out and exploiting black pain and using Terence Crutcher solely to get his digs in at Dr. West. I only watched this episode because Neil deGrasse Tyson was going to be on. When they brought up Crutcher, I was happy he decided to shed light on how fucked…

Maher was engaging in lily-white political pettiness in a battle that’s already been decided, and he used the state-sanctioned violence against Black people as a direct attack on West in order to accomplish that. Can you say, “dick move”?

Are you serious? Did you know that people thought there were female Navy Seals after GI Jane? That people think the Scarlet Letter is a movie starring Demi Moore and the book was written after the movie. What fraction of people do you think were aware of the Titanic sinking in 1912 before the 1997 movie came out?

I don’t understand this line of thought. Haven’t you spoken to many many people who don’t want to admit slavery happened or who thought it wasn’t so bad. Like “these were just some fellas me and my family fed, clothed and housed in exchange for a few chores”.
