This is heartbreaking. And a horrible chapter in American history.
Unbelievable that this actually happened

There is a certain immortality involved in theater, not created by monuments and books, but through the knowledge an actor keeps to his dying day that on a certain afternoon, in an empty and empty dusty theater, he cast the shadow of a being that was not himself but the distillation of all that he had ever observed; all the unsingable heart song the ordinary man may feel but never utter, he gave voice to. And by that somehow joins the ages. —Arthur Miller

“This is not who we are, America” just doesn’t ring true to me. My father was assassinated in this nation, gunned down on a motel balcony in Memphis, where he was engaged as a nonviolent warrior for nondiscriminatory, humane wages. He was killed for working to end racism, poverty, and militarism, which he called the Triple Evils, and which are all still perpetuated both in policy and practice by the United States of America. This is not who we should be. With that honest statement about our culture of violence, political and otherwise, we can rise up to eradicate injustice and violence, and reform our rhetoric.

You should be freaking out over the Supreme Court and it's frankly crazy that THIS isn't what everyone is writing editorials about.

My freshman year of college, after never having earned less than a B my entire life, I nearly flunked out, earning 3 Fs, a B and C. I was depressed and stopped going to class. I was Black and working class at an elite white school. I missed home. I missed family. I was going through something that had nothing to do with my academic abilities, work ethic or ambition. Human beings struggle. This rugged individualism culture, this scarcity mentality, this willingness to write off struggling people as unworthy is toxic and hurts all of us. If an empathetic educator, Dean Flint-Hamilton, hadn’t given me a shot to redeem myself, my life would have been very different. She took a chance on me because she saw me as a whole human being. I was determined not to betray her trust in me. We can do better, y’all, with our young people — with all people. We truly can.

Twitter is owned by a fascist, the publisher of the New York Times is openly anti-Biden, CNN is doing Trump town halls, and the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal are run by Murdoch cronies. Here’s why liberal media bias is a problem.

For those of you who don’t understand my righteous anger; I’m on 2 TV series, ELSBETH and RAISING KANAN. I’m filming SUPERMAN. Two years ago, I finished the fourth season of JACK RYAN. Last year I finished a run on Broadway in DEATH OF A SALESMAN. Even with my proof of employment, bank statements and real estate holdings, a white apartment owner DENIED my application to rent the apartment…..in Harlem, of all places. Racism and bigots are real. There are those who will do anything to destroy life’s journey for Black folks. When you deny our personal experiences, you are as vile and despicable.
