Achievements and fame are separate things in my book. There are plenty of successful people we’ve never heard of. I would’ve never downplay Amal Clooney’s achievements, but it’s certainly fair and true to say that she was not famous until George.

True. But she was not a famous model before John Legend.

Oh, I see. Reference Christy’s reputation as a thristy and you’re trolling. I’ll bet you also believe in “fake news’ perpetuated by “snowflakes”. Fresh take.

She reeeeeeeeally enjoys the attention.

Exactly! I wanted to like her supposed “kewl girl” vibe but find her so needy and obnoxious. She’s like that pretty and shallow girl who is popular in HS and gets to college and is super confused to not be adored by all.

Ugh. Her. I would propose that everyone ignore both her and John.

She stands opposite LL Cool J in that Lip Sync Battle show. I think she got the gig because she’s famous on twitter, and I think she’s famous on twitter because she’s married to John Legend, and I think she’s married to John Legend because she’s famous for that Lip Sync Battle show, which she got because...

How come every time she speaks/tweets it sounds like some kind of monumental declaration??!! It’s not all such a big deal, sweet pea.

Until white Americans acknowledge their inherent “privilege” by being born white and in America.

You can get as pedantic as you like about his statement.

# How long do we live in the past?
ask all the armed guys guarding Confederate monuments.

You also weren’t alive then. None of us were.

How long do we live in the past?

I’m sure you also spend time criticizing people who “live in the past” by celebrating a 200-year old war fought over tea taxes?

Good question. As quickly as those around us forget the past- there is something to be said for acknowledging and remembering it.

Until there is meaningful change.

When the past stops living and thriving in the present...that’s when you let the past go...or IT will go on as you currently see...

We’ll stop living in the past when people cease to punish America for having a black liberal president by electing brainwashing, dishonest, cretins of the lowest character.

Outside the National Archives, there are two statues. On the base of one statue is the phrase, ‘Study the Past.’ On the second, ‘The Past is Prologue.’ It is essential that we never forget the misdeeds of the past, to ensure that the present is just.

We shall “live in the past” until the past is fully and completely separated from the present.
