It always reminds me of my favorite joke from Damon Wayans ;

Sorry Damon, I really do think Kanye’s next album should be titled
Cooning for Cash

Is this the best promo of all time, or are you wrong?

Sounds like Schefter studied under Big Poppa Percentage.

All that wealth in the Kardashian/Jenner/West Sunken Place is only eclipsed by the dearth of books any of them possess. A goddamn literary desert. None of this is a surprise; so no need to mourn Kanye. He has been gone for ages, and is never coming back. Move on.

This guy gets it.

You laugh, but that 11 year old just got a full ride at Duke.

Hot take: The Pens aren’t that good. The Flyers are just much much worse.

Street cred isn’t even in vogue anymore; everyone uses StreetCoyn, my new blockchain currency for keeping it real.

It’s funny cause, he even says my black friends don’t come to my shows.

“Street Cred” eau de toilette by Justin Timberlake.

They need this book

That dumbass has no black friends. Those black people hate him.

It’s a play on “Mistah Kurtz - he dead” from Heart of Darkness.

Heart of Darkness, FWIW, is a supremely fucked-up book set against the Belgian ivory trade in Africa. Though it hits pretty hard against the sort of “civilized” barbarism of colonialists.

Because they’ve been taught since birth that any hardships a person suffers is a personal defect or flaw with the person, while also being taught (read: lied to) that racism died in the 1960s and we’re all equal now, so if black or brown people have a problem, it is due to some collective failure on their parts, and…

Because they don’t see their privilege. They think if they applied for a home loan and got it, then black people can pick themselves up by the bootstraps and do the same. They don’t believe that redlining is a thing. Same goes for other forms of institutional racism. They don’t experience it, so it must not exist.

White folk will never understand because they’re white.

Its like at my office this winter there was big stink about parking spaces. There’s like 10 parking spaces in the front of our building but 40 in the back. There only like 40 people working here so there’s more than enough parking for everyone but for weeks…

You still get to be white.

But I caugt backlash because I named the CD The Black Experience.

Phillipe Reines’ job was to get good press for Hillary Clinton during the election. Hard to argue that he wasn’t historically terrible at his job. Unless his book is titled “I Fucked Up: Why nobody should hire me or take me seriously,” I don’t know why anyone should care.
