Rod's apology towards Karen is not a surprise.

The dude can't resist those Reese's Cups.

What did he do this time?
Last time he talked about not breaking of chocloate and biting in the middle. Sickening.
What's worse is he went out of his way to make a video and post it. Truly madness.

Posting a long MLK quote from The Trumpet if Conscience for those who need it regarding recent events and probable future ones:

Martin Luther King Jr.’s Trumpet of Conscience said:
“Violent they certainly were. But the violence, to a startling degree, was focused against property rather than against people. There were very few cases of injury to persons, and the vast majority of the rioters were not involved at all in attacking people. The much-publicized “death toll” that marked the riots, and the many injuries, were overwhelmingly inflicted on the rioters by the military. It is clear that the riots were exacerbated by police action that was designed to injure or even to kill people. As for the snipers, no account of the riots claims that more than one or two dozen people were involved in sniping. From the facts, an unmistakable pattern emerges: a handful of Negroes used gunfire substantially to intimidate, not to kill; and all of the other participants had a different target – property.

I am aware that there are many who wince at a distinction between property and persons – who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid. A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man.

The focus on property in the 1967 riots is not accidental. It has a message; it is saying something.

If hostility to whites were ever going to dominate a Negroe’s attitude and reach murderous proportions, surely it would be during a riot. But this rare opportunity for bloodletting was sublimated into arson, or turned into a kind of stormy carnival of free-merchandise distribution. Why did the rioters avoid personal attacks? The explanation cannot be fear of retribution, because the physical risks were no less than for personal assaults. The military forces were treating acts of petty larceny as equal to murder. Far more rioters took chances with their own lives, in their attacks on property, than threatened the life of anyone else. Why were they so violent with property then? Because property represents the white power structure, which they were attacking and trying to destroy. A curious proof of the symbolic aspect of the looting for some who took part in it is the fact that, after the riots, police received hundreds of calls from Negroes trying to return merchandise they had taken. Those people wanted the experience of taking, of redressing the power imbalance that property represents. Possession, afterward, was secondary.

A deeper level of hostility came out in arson, which was far more dangerous than the looting. But it, too, was a demonstration and a warning. It was directed against symbols of exploitation, and it was designed to express the depth of anger in the community.”

That timing. Her first album Diary of Me popped up in my Spotify recs just last night. She's taken a more downtempo hip-hop route lately, cause the first was far more acoustic/folksy.

Dig her shit tho

It was damn good. I was glad to see they had some black women on Themiscyra, but I was hoping it would have women of all races there. Them extras were more jacked than her. I couldn't help, but notice.

But for downsides
I did think the German general was just slightly ever so slightly a lil too hokey and the cg fight was choreographed pretty poorly.

The movie had a great spirit though.

Let me help you: are you sure your weren't pulled over for speeding?

As a black man, i get pulled over all the time and the cops are nice to me.

So, is it possible you just are anxious?

I hope you never have to call for a police officer to help you.

Why do we keep having these threads? No
Not all cops are bad.

You know, Hillary once said...
