I’m intrigued by the three women in the Negro Leagues who played in the 50's, and that that isn’t viewed as a more important precident over all.

I like bulletin, though . . . it made me visualize a poorly written text bulletin that Kris sends out to all of her children on tape mornings: “Please stay on this message today—” And Kourtney looks at it and LAUGHS! Also, I know what you mean about her laziness and arrogance. She cracked me up when she got mad at her…

No. I never did.

Blergh: “always never planned to live in it . . .”

You know what?

That’s funny. My experience in Oakland, as an African American woman, is the opposite. But I definitely agree that there are more different ethnicities living cheek to jowl than in other cities.

when you say most integrated, you’re just talking about where people live, right? Not actual interactions?

I’m not all that outraged by any of this. Also, I was born in 1971. There is a picture of my mother that looks A LOT like this! It’s uncanny. It looks like my mother and a bunch of my aunties. Like, frighteningly so. I guess I’m trying to say, she look jilike Black to me in these pix. Just saying.

He didn’t really quit. And I don’t think *he* necessarily owed it to her to tell her, and I think that’s her larger point. ABC made a decision that affects two of their shows. They owed the whole show, Kelly included, an opportunity to think strategically about the whole thing. If she’s a key to their success, which…

Why doesn’t she have any right to be notified of major changes on the show? I haven’t really read any of this as her being mad at Strahan, per se . . . moreso about anger with management. The gossip columns keep spinning the personal aspect. That said, if it’s true that she was as intimately involved with selection of…

I really don’t think she’s acting like a child, actually.

I grew up in DC and live here now. I’m always annoyed when people lump us in with the federal sector drones. There is tons of fashion sense here; and POTOMAC IS NOT DC. Sorry for yelling.

She has really tapped into her privilege. And just waves it around recklessly and carelessly. It’s breathtakingly awful.

Thank you!

“Gift certificates” is simultaneously intriguing and hilarious. Us poors would mean, like, the gift certificate to Red Lobster his granny gave us for our anniversary. Celebs mean the gold-plated Lambo certificate from the Emmy gift basket last year.

Murder, Inc. The label. Now defunct.

Why wouldn’t I know what’s normal and appropriate in Egypt? What are you even asking, and why are you asking it so long after this event?

THANK YOU.

I’m 45. I enjoy talking to seniors more and more every day. I supervise an office of 20 & 30 somethings, and they rarely get my cultural and musical references. Not in the market for a 90 year old lover, but I can see it.

The music industry was so different back then. He was briefly interviewed on Bandstand where he said a few words, but there wasn’t the huge publicity/TV cycle that there is now. By the time that MTV interview happened he hadn’t spoken more than a few words publicly in ages— even when Purple Rain was being promoted.…
