Heyt, MrSixx, previously in the grays:

So the victim is now flacking for a well-known promoter of violence and intimidation.

Amazing.

On his Total Blackout tour in 2017, nicknamed “the alimony tour” Rock admitted his faults in his dissolved relationship, saying that he was a “piece of shit, ”describing his multiple affairs with women.

Thanks for the Grio article. His epithet came down to:

I empathize with you on the weight of words - up to a point.

Nobody can argue with exceptions and anecdotes, so I, like many others would never give social commentary or advice based on exceptions.

Ah well - even my heroes have feet of clay.

No. I barely defended what has come out out Rock’s mouth - I have viciously and energetically condemned the Root’s obsession with punishing Rock over the perceived slights in what was otherwise lame ass jokes.

I am convinced some writers at The Root just take the top comment in the comment section of a article from the Shade Room, feed it in to ChatGPT, and then straight submit it to the editor.

They need to change the site’s name to one of the following:

Learn to read, Booboo, I called some of Rock’s stuff lame here and in other comment sections. I wouldn’t pay $40M, but the fact remains that Netflix will make well in excess of $40M airing that special.

Bruh.

Your article here really reminds me of the deep cultural reflections of The Root alumni Danielle Belton, Damon Young, Michael Harriot, Maiysha Kai, and Panama Jackson.

I disagree with your take on one principle - it is GENERALLY foolish to disparage the long term behavorial effects of having two parents in the household vs. the long term behavorial effects of having only one person in the household.

Too often, Black men who reject this grammar or do not embody it are viewed as soft or white.

You know what? I concede on that point. Rock did openly empathize with an assumed murderer.
