30 Rock was a television show, created in the 21st century, that had at least three different instances of blackface. Between that and some of the racist shit she said in her book, I have a really hard time enjoying her work, even though there’s so much to love about her.

Venus and Serena Williams might be the greatest American success story we’ve seen unfold in popular culture in the last 30 years. They are, in every way, the so-called American Dream.

It would have bothered me, but he only brought up Jamie Foxx so he could make that joke about pulling the plug on Ray Charles.

I’m not defending what Oscar said. He sounded like an old man yelling at a cloud whining about “these darn Millenials.” It was dumb and wrong and sad. I’m just saying, on that play, Roberson needed to play up on him. If Curry hits the shot anyway, so be it. But look at all the space he gave him. He’s the only player

Curry shot a better percentage from 28 feet and beyond tonight than the rest of his team did on layups.

The funny thing is, as dumb as what Oscar said was, if he was just talking about that play he’d have been right. I have no idea why Roberson gave him so much space. In that situation, with that player, you can’t give him any room. It was a brilliant shot, but it was also terrible defense.

It also has, by far, the worst series finale ever made.

Back in 2007 the New York Times ran a story about the rise in infant deaths in the south, focusing specifically on poor black women in Mississippi whose access to Medicaid had been drastically cut. It remains one of the most depressing and infuriating things I’ve ever read.

Hot Take: Year One is better than The Dark Knight Returns, and Daredevil: Born Again is better than both.

Dion Waiters has missed more layups this season (14) than he’s made (13). Has any guard in NBA history gone a whole season shooting less than 50% on layups?

I mean, it’s still technically winter. The Red Sox should be grateful Pablo came out of hibernation.

Is Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice going to be incredibly terrible, or just kind of terrible?

I’ve always had a thing for Amanda Peet. She’s incredibly charming and nice, she has a great laugh, and she sincerely laughs really hard at every joke. Her husband must think he’s the funniest guy in the world.

The second I read those three sentences, I thought “Okay, that’s why everyone loves Monty Williams so much.” The kind of person who can say something like that, in that situation, is the kind of person who is going to be loved by a lot of people.

If I remember correctly, they had originally cast an Asian actor for the role, but he had to drop out at the last second, and they replaced him with Ejiofor. That doesn’t make it better or okay, of course, but I figured it was worth noting.

I think you missed the point. It’s not about Beyonce not wanting to be black. It’s about the fact that Loreal photoshopped the image to make her skin much lighter because, between that and the straight blonde hair, they wanted her to look white.

What do you mean Beyonce is black? Are you telling me Loreal lied to us?

I want some NBA conspiracy theorist to argue that this is actually Steph subtly making fun of Kevin Love, and by extension, the Cavaliers.
