This dude made everything race related and is now upset when people go to him for race related issues.

Both of them suck. It would be better for the universe if both faded away from the public eye.

I’m not so sure Bomani is as smart as he thinks he is.

So let me get this straight, Bomani. You think individuals should be treated as just that, individuals? You realize how heretical that is to the race-hustling act you've worked so hard to create, right?

Funny how he didn't express these thoughts when he was on the show, supposedly being patronized.

I hate mf'ers like this. He got what he could out of the show and now wants to cry.

Rob Parker and Bomani Jones are both total idiots, no two ways about it.

I think Dan was very fascinated by the idea that a Black person could be this smart … I think Dan couldn’t believe that this happened.


Every progressive thinks like Dan. They refuse to believe black people can succeed without their help.

The only thing I can credit Jones with is popularizing this shirt.



Which a bunch of white people bought.

Further proof that blacks hate the white saviors who constantly shill for them just as much as anyone else.

Correct. It’s patronizing.

This is very different than your two previous examples.

Bomani is a funny guy but a perpetual whiner.

No its not. You're just being sensitive.

I would ask a red head questions about being redheaded.

I would ask a woman questions about being a woman.

I would ask a golfer questions about golf.

I would not expect that their answers were universal for 100% of their group, because im not stupid. But i would give more weight to their experiences because they are a member of the group im asking about.

And anybody who thinks that makes them a victim is just an a-hole.
