Tyler Perry's success, coupled with the OJ verdict, 50 Cent, Katrina and the confusion so many mainstream blacks had at B. Obama's candidacy because he wasn't cut from the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton mold makes it really hard not to think in racist terms. I wonder what will happen in another generation when hispanics surpass blacks in population. I predict that blacks will be marginalized even more than Asians are now (when it is safe to use a "funny" asian dialect). Black people are doomed.
Firstly, I am no confederate of tom, but your defence of the johns of prostitution, as if they are sympathetic victims, rings about as true as a defence attorney's opening argument in the trial of a nine-time DUIer--really, the john is the victim?
Anyway, while I am a fan of "I like to watch," Heather, I am getting off the trolly if next week's column has more reality tv shit. If you persist in writing about it every week, post-strike, then you are not up above it--you are down in it. As funny as you are, and I like your writing and perspective a great deal, it is getting old. I now think there is no excuse anymore. I am really uncomfortable feeling like I am on tomreed's side. gross.
