I’m trying to be positive about how Jemele can contribute, but cotdamn if this doesn’t feel like “we’re demoting you so no one can technically say we fired you”.

I don’t understand what’s going on here.

Sounds like a soft firing.

“Damn, damn, damn!” (channeling Florida Evans)

Is this the same NBC that employs Megan Kelly?

Well, actually...

You’re taking a lot of liberties in assessing what did and did not happen in this situation. I wonder if she actually did say this and not the perhaps bullshit that you assume she probably said. In my experience, teachers will often treat young students as if they are completely clueless to anything that their lesson…

Ok.

How is using a racial slur trying to be cool? Would you say that if the teacher had said something like “Put down that kike book?” Or “Stop that spic dancing?” How about “Shut up that chink talking?” It seems like there’s always an explanation other than racism that people want to ascribe to racists saying the n-word.…

I hate the type of black men where I always have to check myself before I nod in agreement with anything they say, just to make sure I don’t accidentally agree to the other dumb shit they said before hand.

i try not to listen to the breakfast club cuz Charlemagne gets on my last nerve but i listened to this whole episode yesterday. the ignorance was astounding. Amara was really trying to educate these fools and they were laughing it off. her points were valid: colorism is a huge issue in the latin american community and…

DISCLAIMER: As a black man I must state, once again, that Charlamagne viewpoints are his own and have nary a thing to do with mine.

I think it is only right that on October 2, 2018, the Lt. Governor gets up to lionize the birthday of Nat Turner. After all Turner is a true portrait of a heroic Virginian who died in the pursuit of liberty and human rights. I bet if we start praising black folks who killed lots of white folks they won’t keep thinking…

Heavens forbid we get an actual reckoning of the true brutality of the things those people did. The fact is that this very downplaying/ignoring the horrors of what Jackson and his ilk did actively contributes to the fact that racism and bigotry are still so pervasive a century and a half later. It is simply not…

It takes some truly stunning cognitive dissonance to praise a slaveholder while decrying “racism and bigotry”

Me: We are GOING to see Black Panther.

Michael,

I was wondering if the youngest child was actually a grandchild. The mother is 49 and the youngest is 2. A pregnancy at 47 is pretty rare.

He’s got the yips. It’s 100% mental. He gets convinced in his own mind that his shot no longer works, so he starts trying new things, tweaking stuff. Before you know it, he’s all sorts of fucked up. I only hope he straightens himself out.

Underestimating ain’t even strong enough of a word. We showing up and showing out for WAKANDA. Dashikis, Iro and Bubbas, and Geles for days. Niggas gone be selling T’Challa t-shirts in the parking lot. He fact that we buying tickets IN ADVANCE should let them know we did not come to play because you know the aunties…
