One of my engineers (a woman) was out shopping with her boyfriend a few years ago and two guys made comments about her. The boyfriend confronted them and they stabbed him. He died right there in the shopping mall. They went down for murder.

This stuff can get bad really quick.

Which is why you carry a gun. Avoid trouble, but always be prepared to make sure the judge only hears one story.

You heard about Chris Rock getting examined, after the Oscars?

They found fresh prints.

Nobody seems interested in the thought experiment about Rock getting slapped by a white actor. What do you all think? Race narrative media tsunami, or no big deal, because celebrity trumps race? I think a white actor would have been canceled, but the sick wife angle is admittedly compelling for public support.

Here's Dr Todd Grande's take, similar to mine:

Good takes in this video. Acho (the guy on the right) is a compelling speaker.

Cuckold Will Smith apologized today on Instagram, this time including Rock in the apology.

So, first he missed his opportunity to apologize to Rock last night during his acceptance speech, and now he missed his opportunity to acknowledge that mistake. I am sure in future interviews he will apologize for that too. His lag time between screw-up and apology is probably one public appearance, after which his publicist can coach him up. The man is a pure punk, terrified of owning his own mistakes. No wonder his wife cuckolded him.

Two things I don't understand is why security didn't stop him, and also why he wasn't kicked out, or at least taken away to somewhere quiet to calm down.

If somebody did this in a comedy club after been insulted by the comedian, they'd be kicked out and most likely arrested.

Oh, no...we don't get off that easy. I'm a racist for supporting Smith. Or Rock. Either one. Doesn't matter.

Close....

I'm pretty ashamed of my freaking hair. Hers looks way better than mine does at this point.

Many middle-aged white men have been in my shoes. And it has to be said they're pretty smelly shoes.
