This stupid bitch of a man. So he used Black music to start his career, and he says this? He has a Black son....and he says this? I think he needs to say this to Hova's face and see what happens. Fucker.
Kid Rock: “Nothing against Jay-Z… But it seems like there's a little bit of a DEI hire there going on.” @Acyn (2026)
One of the most prominent final pushes for the GOP is to essentialize Black people (as usual) by pushing the narrative that minimizes the bigotry from both white MAGA and white Dems. Scott should be ashamed of himself. Does he think he's above the anti-Black racism?
We have to resist the idea that rich white men are inherently smarter than everyone else. We also have to rid ourselves of the idea that blatant racism is acceptable to win votes from people the administration obviously feels are stupid bigots. They think you are dumb, folks.
What is sad is that Black people and Muslim people work everyday with the attendees at this Klan rally. Imagine what it is like to have work colleagues smile to your face but then agree with this shit behind your back. This is why I don't fully trust anyone.
Hilarious. And these are the same type of people who call Muslims "terrorists," accuse El Sayed of being part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and probably call Black folks the "N" word in private.
This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.
This is on point! I'm teaching Indian and Middle Eastern music, this semester, and I just wrapped up a week on the Caste system. Vivek's family is Brahman. Look it up. It will make a lot of sense.

EXCLUSIVE:
As promised, this will be the first of a series of recordings I have about a foreign plot to attack Ilhan Omar with FORGED documents and the help of Trump associates and the Right-wing media.
The man on this call is Alan Bender, a mediator with longstanding dealings in Saudi royal circles. Alan Bender, is a confirmed confidant of Middle Eastern Royals, particularly in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He represented Prince Alawaleed in his divorce case, and also mediated during Alawaleed's detention by Crown Prince MBS
Alan Bender alleges years ago that wealthy, powerful people planned to doctor documents to smear Ilhan Omar, then amplify them through right-wing media, betting her credibility would be destroyed before the truth caught up.
Listen to what he told me. Much more to come.

Clearing his name after he’s no longer here to see it.
Rest in peace, Professor Jason Arday. You deserved your flowers while you were still, here. #writing #WritingCommmunity
The fact that this event is still happening even though it was proven that Arday never plagiarized, is despicable. But since the re-emergence of Eugenics, (despite being routinely debunked) is a sexy topic these days, go forth, I guess?
Everyone knew. It's sad that Graham couldn't be out with his sexuality when he was alive, but remember that he actively opposed LGBTQ legislation...when he was alive. One thing about the GOP is that they tend to attract the most self-hating people in the world.
I've been fortunate to meet a lot of rock and metal musicians over the past 20 years, but Tony (okay and perhaps Rob Halford) are the only ones whom I'd probably burst out crying if I met them IRL.
