“What’s even worse than white moderates is that so many black people also buy into this way of thinking. It’s almost like being in a bad relationship. You get so used to settling that you forget that you deserve better.”

Wow... She was an extraordinary woman. It’s disappointing, but not surprising that I’d never heard of her before this story.

“The Cannon quote references when the 39-year-old comedian relinquished his hosting duties on the popular competition show in 2017 after the network admonished him for an N-word joke he made.”
