  1. Fake news? or is the whistle blower to be believed? Troy should certainly feel vindicated, when it comes to the question of the media enabling mischief. I've never cared for Dr. Phil and his phony "down home folksy persona". https://www.essence.com/news/nina-richards-sister-of-dr-phil-guest-who-hates-being-black-shes-fake-just-a-disgusting-attempt-to-become-a-meme?fbclid=IwAR07FiX1L8IGJne65tc8rFHQUyE_lyCmxpD0k_p4s_BmfCdfuoP12e3xI9g
  2. Just like the Roseanne Show (or now The Conners) ......... Dr Phil is just another attempt at conditioning of the American people of all backgrounds to normalize and standardize working class white culture and a subtle attempt to legitimize White male intolerance. This has been going on since "All In The Family" back in the 70s. In Dr. Phil, here you have a big Caucasian man with a strong southern drawl who often prides himself in being a "straight talker" and "tough lover" and at the end of the day he apparently knows how to "solve" everyone's problems. No matter what the subject of these shows are, the MAIN and constant theme is that being "politically correct" is the enemy and the big rude White man is really the "good guy". So when you see big White men being rude and politically incorrect (i.e. unapologetically racist) then instead of being repulsed by it you accept it as someone being "down home" or sincere and endearing.
  3. @Chevdove just for a point of comparison this event deserves attention and action. The "Key Fob Affair"... meh. A race war is not just evil but it is a completely absurd idea. Unfortunately, there seem to be folks trying to start one. So many people in the south have guns -- many of them walking around with them concealed -- just in case someone wants to start something. That combined with stand your ground laws and 45's constantly exclaiming these mass shooting would not see so bad if more people were armed. Unfortunately there are too many mentally disturbed people who own guns. In Florida it is easier to buy a gun than it is to register to vote.
  4. Oh that's easy: ratings. White people will never go broke putting crazy Black people on display. This is why Kanye West is one of the most popular Black men in America.Insert other media
