I guess I’m totally out of the loop because I had a “Harpo who ‘dis woman?” feeling about almost everyone there...Plus I didn’t watch and only clicked on this link as I readied myself for a cobb salad and ice tea. (Damn I’m old!)

Therapy? He needs an intensive 120 Day Inpatient Program in the Berkshires...

But what does Ron Mexico have to say about this development?

YES!!!! Say it again for the cheap seats!

THIS!!!! Add a little self-hatred and desire to destroy ones’ self and I think we’ve got the cocktail.

“He attempted seven times to apply flame to fuse, to ignite a stick that would send a stream of colors rocketing into the night, but the wind kept blowing out his lighter. He remembers thinking, Let me try one more time. . .

Thanks for clarifying; So was this an ethical breach for newsworthy because he’s a public figure?

It was an invasion of privacy and a violation of HIPAA.

(Or found out he was and made sure to study-up in anticipation of meeting him...I know someone like that and I can’t determine if they’re really smart or deeply evil.)

As someone above said Bond Villains (though I’m going with Vincent Price-inspired LA Villains with houses in the Bird Streets and live-in second-rate sushi chefs who invite you over and expect you to get naked in the first 20 minutes...Okay, now I’ve said too much.)

Yes! I read it that way too! (Like on date two he would ask for a blood sample to check for genetic diseases and then walk her to a closet with pre-made-to-measure pastel clothes that she’d have to wear when seeing him in the future...)

That’s the point! You just don’t like her humor. You don’t care about attacking her personhood (her looks and the not-so-veiled comments about gender in relation to race.) Her humor is not your cup of tea and I think that gets lost. It’s okay to dislike someone or their medium just because you do. I disliked Ryan…

So, I read this online and found it fascinating. I have mixed feelings on the Oprah reference and what I feel was a bit of victim blaming, but it was interesting none the less and gave a perspective on why the few (two friends and a co-worker) Black folks I’ve talked to about this have responded with eye rolls and…

What a loss; She was such an interesting personality and this article really encompasses who she was (down to the love of chocolate and well crafted tea.) I love and thus miss ladies of that generation who understood living well was about making quiet time for one’s self and reflection:

Only in Philadelphia could he be criticized for being “overly PC.”

I wouldn’t say you’re internalizing, but there’s a feeling of “um” when one sees white people laughing so hard at her eye contortions and bugging...Overall, I don’t want to judge her, and I have nothing personal against her (and realize they material for Actors of Color can be limited) I can only own my feelings…

Like, she’s made a career of it? Interesting (and chilling) thought, though I hope that’s not the case.

It’s a chicken and egg scenario...Is she really like that? I have no idea. I can only speak to how it makes me feel when I see her in the Allstate commercials: A little sad, embarrassed for her, and pissed that in 2016 we have what feels on a visceral level to be a walking, talking pickaninny archetype.

What could that possible be? I have absolutely NO clue why they’d have a personal issue with someone they’ve never met. The mind reels...

I think ad hominem attacks and emotional responses to things people “don’t like” have become the norm. I have to say, I’m a little worried for the future.
