On gil’s back rests the sunken place.

Who the fuck was checkin on Gil’s sorry and self hatin ass? Christy handle your fucking man because he is out here reckless as fuck. I hate these backwards ass old heads go away.

Not a fair comparison. At least Rosa Parks was offered different accommodations on the same bus.

He has a very specific eidetic memory, which is a superpower. It’s also really awesome.

Since black people invented rock n roll, that’s when.

Hope the Secret Service recruit this dude asap; perfect person to guard POTUS.

When questioned about the incident the man said, “If only I had a gun in the other hand, I could have stopped myself.”

I heard an excellent take on this:

I think it was bait to ID white people in the comments

True. But it also meant that we didn’t have to hear a bunch of political jokes, which is pretty much what all of my favorite comedians have been relegated to recently.

I saw the special. Dave took me to the very edge of my comfort zone and I loved it. He is nothing short of an artist. I can understand people’s offense but I was there for the ride.

I love The Root and think Michael is a great writer. He’s acutely insightful, intelligent, has a sharp sense of humor, and a very nice turn-of-phrase. One of the best writers on the site. I happen to disagree with him on something, that’s all.

Could it also be subject matter? There are people who probably remember better than me, but I don’t Dave touched too much on gay/trans/LGBTQ issues on his show. I remember one video about a “gay world” (gay landscaper, gay DMV, etc) and “Ask a Gay Man” where an actual gay man would answer questions. But most of his…

Funny how that works.
