Good stories are my jam. Professionally, I help major brands tell their stories. Personally, I write (true) stories on uncomfortable topics: faith, politics, race, relationships, and current events.

Brown has a pattern too multiple rehab stints and being caught on camera hitting people and questionable gang entanglements.

Thank you for not including any R. Kelly.

Stupidity is not a difference of opinion. Some shit is just stupid, man. We aren’t obligated to engage stupidity but we are obligated to point it out as such when we do.

I honestly did not know black people were ashamed of being a descendant of slaves until I was well into my twenties. This was always a point of extensive pride for me and I assumed other black people felt the same. Like, this boss ass legacy of resilience and persistence... and wait... y’all are... ashamed... of that?

I went to undergrad at Xavier in New Orleans, and while Hurricane Katrina may have temporarily sank my school beneath the waters, something in me knew that I was supposed to be there. One of the first things I did when it was possible to return in the aftermath was to help gut houses in the Lower Ninth Ward. Most were

I have a degree in psychology and a bipolar dad (among other family members). I would never diagnose someone without meeting them, but I agree with you that Kanye is showing *some* signs of mania or at least hypomania here, especially in the context of his recent history. BUT he’s not talking particularly rapidly,

Yeah, this. I’ve conducted research on mood disorders and I have friends and family who are bipolar. People really need to stop Internet diagnosing people and then using that to explain all sorts of behavior. It is possible for someone to be an asshole and say crazy shit without having a mental illness, and spouting

On behalf of every black person who is bipolar and doesnt claim slavery was a choice when theyre manic I offer a hearty fuck you

Hearing from some Kanye enthusiasts, “Oh Kanye is just being Kanye. Don’t take him seriously; just listen to the music.”

Every time I hear his voice, whether in an interview or on a record, it just sounds like a pedophile trying to seduce a young black girl. It literally makes me nauseous. At our wedding, I specifically told our DJ that if he played anything with R. Kelly in it, I’d shut everything down.

Lol at Kanye tryna use the ol’ “well they used to call us niggers, but then we swithed it up on ‘em and now ‘nigga’ is a term of endearment amongst black folks.”

The bit about making the MAGA hat more inclusive reminds me of when he started wearing the Confederate flag and said “it’s my flag now”. No, no, it’s not. GTFOH, Kanye.

Not only is she a Trump, she’s a Trump who entered this liaison willingly and eagerly. Maybe she didn’t expect to be First Lady, but Donald has always been Donald.

He probably was when he was 25, but people generally shrink an inch a decade after 40, and more so if they have a lot of belly fat yanking on their spine. He’s 6 feet and a couple of eyebrow hairs.

He doesn’t embrace her like a husband embraces his wife. He grabs her like a spider wrapping its food in a cocoon that’s trying to get away, ready to suck the life out of it.

...with the Black man her sugar daddy hates with an obsessive passion.

Thank you for saying that she deserves no sympathy. I do find it interesting she seems to find more joy at a funeral...IJS.

I feel like 90% of y’all are completely missing the point of the original article.
