Just posted the link on Facebook. Don't have many friends very active on there but even if I get one person to share, the chain reaction can begin. Great work.

Pain...:russ:....electorate:stopitslime:, man cut that CNN off:camby:




Sad thing bout some of y'all cacs is y'all been drinkin ya own kool-aid for too long:cheers::drunk:...but since you into news studio produced reality checks...keep watching ...it's finna be some serious reality for yo ass:steviej:
:mjlol:*Hehehe* people of color are the majority around the world, and encroaching on the majority in the West.

But sheer numbers doth not a political majority make *chuckle*. If you cannot maneuver those stats to engineer the results you need, you are useless beyond the election.

Hence, nikkas talking some "white supremacy" all day.

See, bytch, I am not white, but I am nineteen times smarter than your retarded ass. Your interpretation of the data renders you a smartdumb nikka in your little sphere of bullshyt.

Which means, a dumb nikka like you has no idea what the fukk he is talking about.

"Decency and our collective psychic health are things that should never be contingent on the market share of the offended party, nor the literal or cultural capital they wield."

This my favorite sentence... Probably ever...:wow:

That boy can write :wow:

You can never go wrong by using James Baldwin to open a story.

:wow:

Will America ever tire of Charles Barkley’s clumsy act?

If both of you can laugh, you have a lot to laugh about. On the other hand, if only one of you can laugh, one of you, inevitably, is laughing at the other. James Baldwin

Two decades ago Charles Barkley infamously cautioned us he was not a role model. He has made as much clear again and again and again and again and again over the course of his careers as a professional basketball player and an NBA analyst. He’s a notorious (and arguably proud) drinker, an avid gambler, and an ill-tempered putdown artist. He has spit at a fan (and, inadvertently, on a child), thrown a man through a plate-glass window and — as he subsequently lie bleeding — suggested that the man deserved to die,threatened police with violence, and driven drunkenly in search of a repeat performance of the best fellatio he ever had from a prostitute.

"Maybe most tragically, Barkley falls short even as a minstrel character. What marked the best vaudeville characters, like Bert Williams, was a double-consciousness that subverted the surface performance. The comedy was delicately layered and ironic; the discerning observer could see the genius behind the mask of the sad clown.

In Barkley’s case, you get the sense he has played the clown for so long, and has been so handsomely rewarded for it, he long ago lost the border between the self and the costume. Maybe there never was a border. Maybe, when you peel back Sir Charles’ sad clown mask, you find an even sadder clown, one who has never realized that he devolved into the cruelest joke of all: A tragic punchline devoid of both humor and humanity."


This ending is incredibly well written :wow:
