So why not just say “the rich and powerful can do anything they want?” They weren’t being subtle about it so I’m not a bit surprised it got worse.

Because they were talking specifically about the white people in their lives at the moment.

Yes, they were very explicit about the fact that they were white. Again, I saw that as an indicator.

Now I find out HBO just signed a deal with Howard Stern. I’m now out on this whole joke of a network. Good grief.

Never understood Howard's popularity. I always thought he was a creepy, unfunny douchebag long before he morphed into a woke weirdo.

I was holding off starting this until more episodes had come out.

I think I'll just skip it now.

The biggest problem activists have is one of supply and demand.

Unfortunately for them, the supply of racism does not meet the demand, and hasn't since the 70's.

So they just pretend ever year before this one was LITERALLY the Jim Crow South

And one of the critical questions that continues to go unanswered: If blacks are so scared of whites, why do they fight and claw to live in white neighborhoods and attend white schools. Going so far as demanding government force if they are prevented from doing so?

"She infused this episode..."

Well, she did do that, but it was nothing more than Black Girl Magic slop.

Body cams have destroyed that myth. They're not even afraid of white police, why would they be afraid of rando whiteys with no more power than they have?

I mean they are terrified of being judged by a white person in an interview.

How horrible must that be for the sweet fragile little babies?

"Lanterns" actor J. Alphonse Nicholson: Could you imagine where we would be right now if Kamala got up in there, dog? Could you imagine how it would've been? It'd be a lot different. So we're experiencing the consequences of not trusting a black woman. And now we have this show that can kind of tell you how great it could be and how great of a superhero we can create and have -- if you trust a black woman. It's really dope."

Nothing says trust black women more than shooting apples off a child's head. And Kamala ain't black. Space people don't know her struggle.

On the heels of Supergirl crashing and the entire DCU project teetering, you’d think the last thing they would is lean into this crap.
