The sad thing is, the reason Flores can say this and get much less scrutiny than someone like Bomani Jones... is because Flores isn’t black either.

“separate a three-decades old comedy movie from real life”
Wow. This must be what it’s like talking to someone on an MRA blog.
I always find it telling that people get mad about films like this and that Ridley Scott “Exodus” bullshit, but don’t get nearly as upset when a white man is cast to play Jesus. The latter is just as bad, if not worse.
Trading Places features Dan Akroyd in blackface for about 10 minutes (while wearing dreads and faking a Jamaican accent), Eddie Murphy saying fa***t a few times, and a guy likely being raped by a gorilla. In a lot of ways, it’s a great movie, but... man.
Who else initially read “French banker” as “French baker” and was deeply jealous for a moment?
He should have been a no doubt Hall of Famer before, but it was pretty much sealed the second Mitch Richmond got in.
Halfway through he pauses because he realizes he’s not making any damn sense, but he knows there’s no turning back at that point so he just says “fuck it” and keeps going.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for people who are stupid enough to pick fights with 6’11”, 250 pound athletes.
Thank you. Also, your account name is glorious.
I think the best thing he did here was call out his fellow journalists by bringing up their response to the Missouri tent/safe space situation in comparison to what’s happening in Chicago. If you’re a journalist who got on your high horse about how important your profession is when that was going down, but you aren’t…
Look, I’m sure she’s lovely in the interview, but you aren’t suckering me into watching Jimmy Fallon. No one is suckering me into watching Jimmy Fallon.
Donald Trump once took out an ad in the New York Daily News calling for five innocent children to be executed because they had the audacity to be on the street while black. And you just described him as simply someone’s “insane golf buddy.”
Well, Brady ditched his pregnant girlfriend and keeps a Donald Trump hat in his locker. I wouldn’t exactly call him better than Eli or Peyton.
I don’t understand how you put together this list while completely skipping Rocky VII:
“But that’s just for the aforementioned college bullshit, not because he’s a smooth, attractive black quarterback.”
That’s really good. +1
I think this goes a long way toward explaining why crazy racists hate him so much. He doesn’t just have the huge smile and the audacity to express joy while he’s succeeding/enjoying football, but he also looks so fucking good doing it. He’s a reasonably charming Adonis who is built like he was cut out of stone. He’s…
I just watched a man with an obvious concussion throw a pass to a man who shouldn’t be in the league anymore because he’s had so many concussions. That is peak NFL.
