My new Prince book Nothing Compares 2 U covers his life—his difficult youth and why he was driven by a sense of wanting to get revenge on his parents, his dating life and why women accepted him dating other women, his decades-long struggle with opioids...

The Kansas City fans booing the players' peaceful moment of unity is perhaps the worst moment of fan behavior in American sports history. Fans loudly rejected a demonstration of racial unity. But don’t just put it on KC—that booing probably would’ve happened in most NFL cities.

Yes America is inherently racist. That doesn't mean every white person is Archie Bunker. It means America is run by a series of systems that reward whiteness and penalize Blackness. These systems exist in almost every major aspect of American life.

Trump is super racist. His campaign & his appeal is built on the perpetuation of white supremacy & white privilege. He stokes white fragility. When a Black person supports him I question their relationship to their Blackness and the community. This is what Biden was alluding to.

To recap: Kaepernick protested peacefully and white people excommunicated him. This year’s street protests sometimes got violence and white people condemned that. Tonight NFL players demonstrated peacefully and... white people booed. I’m really tired.
