The legendary Sidney Poitier has reportedly passed away at 94. A true icon.
Here is a powerful interview from him back in 1968 - he was addressing how he was being treated by the press.
Rest in power.

Rest in power, Irene Cara. One thing I remember her for - along w/ that incredible voice - was how she fought back against her record label (sued and won) & her career was ruined. She was a black artist in the 1980s demanding a fair wage & the powers that be ended her career.

On the day before Emmett Till’s 82nd birthday, I give zero f**ks that Carlee Russell lied. Unlike Carolyn Bryant, Russell apologized… and she will probably suffer more consequences than Bryant who got a 14-year-old lynched and lived to be 88 years old.

I made no comment about the NYT labeling you "conservative."
My comment is that you call for "colorblind" when nearly all the stories about you are about your Blackness. Is that part of the selling point? We can talk more offline if you'd like. Otherwise, good luck to you.
You’re clearly confused, Clay. Hope this helps.
The headline was terrible for several reasons.
One: I’m not a conservative and have never claimed to be, not even on that podcast where Sunny hallucinated that she heard it.
Two: my race should be totally irrelevant. The truth…

Everyone is focusing on Trump’s comments about Black voters, but let's not overlook those enabling him. Listen to this lie.

Trump & SCOTUS, remember history: Confederates/insurrectionists came BACK into power via amnesty - despite the 14th amendment banning them WITHOUT a conviction. This gutted Reconstruction & reinstalled insurrectionists.

One of the things I like to do after an election is look at how wrong the polls are - most polls had Suozzi w/ only a 4-point lead over Pilip, a "tight race." Suozzi won by nearly 8 points.
Polls are BS & talking points for pundits who want to act like they have a crystal ball.
Watching Suozzi embarrass Pilip for the NY-03 special election is hilarious... it's an "overperformance" to shut down another MAGA grifter.
