Lily Gaddis says white people are victims of systemic racism, prompting a fiery clash with Piers Morgan over white supremacy and her unapologetic use of the N-word
Lily Gaddis: “White people have been under attack for years. It’s been systematic racism. Black people and people of color get preferential treatment when it comes to getting jobs and getting into colleges…white people, on the other hand, have been getting attacked relentlessly
the way to fight back against this anti-white hatred that’s been ingrained in U.S. society is with white unity. We don’t see white unity on our side”
Piers Morgan: “Why would you want to support a white racist?”
Lily Gaddis: “Because I want to support free speech, you cannot have free speech in the country”
Piers Morgan: “You can support free speech, but you also have to be accountable for what you say, would you use the N-word?”
Lily Gaddis: “Yes…i do, quite frankly”
Piers Morgan: “You use the N-word quite frequently, why? If you use it repeatedly, you are a racist, then are you?”
Lily Gaddis: “I’ll embrace that if it means helping white people achieve freedom of speech”
Piers Morgan: “Do you use it with black people? when would it be appropriate to use the N-word?”
Lily Gaddis: “Yes, if it’s appropriate. Anytime I feel like it”
Piers Morgan: “So you’re just an unashamed racist?”
Lily Gaddis: “Correct”
Piers Morgan: “Do you understand that makes you a despicable human being?”
Lily Gaddis: “I guess so, i don’t really care, why are we not talking about Shiloh Hendricks? why are we talking about racism?”
Piers Morgan: “You see no problem with a woman repeatedly shouting the N-word because you yourself are a despicable racist, you’ve just proudly admitted that, and shame on you”
Lily Gaddis: “Shame on white people for allowing themselves to be systematically discriminated against in the United States, this is our country”
Piers Morgan: “What do you mean, your country? are you saying there are no black people in American history? that they’ve all just landed in America, invading your white country?”
Lily Gaddis: “Well, i mean, they were brought here technically”
Piers Morgan: “Oh my God, do you understand how dumb you sound?”
Marc Lamont Hill: “This is stupid”

Omari Hardwick struggles with the ending of Power to this day.
"Courtney (and team) decided to go to a place that I had an issue with (...) why would we EVER show a little Black boy grabbing a gun and shooting his father?"

Everyone but especially black women have to unsubscribe from the notion that black men are turning gay.
We have to dismantle this false idea that black women are somehow losing black men to homosexuality, when the reality is that black gay men were never part of the heterosexual dating pool to begin with.
Black gay men are not being taken away from black women. Our sexuality is not a transition away from heterosexuality, nor is it a rejection of Black women.
We are not men who simply haven’t found the right woman. We are gay men, and our existence is not a threat to black heterosexual relationships. That is all.

At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

Keke Palmer's parents made $40,000 a year at their best. At 15, she says, she was making that per episode of her own Nickelodeon show. One day she told her father: "I'm the one making all the money."
In the video below, she breaks down telling Shannon Sharpe what he said back.
At 12 she had starred in Akeelah and the Bee. The show was True Jackson, VP. It premiered in 2008, and it made her the family's breadwinner.
Her father, Larry, worked for a polyurethane company. Her mother taught high school. They moved the family from Illinois to California for her career. "My dad gave up his pension for me to have an opportunity for my dreams," she told Sharpe.
Then, she says, people around her started telling her she could go further without them. "You have all these people that are making money off of you, and they're telling you what's best for you and that your parents don't know."
Her mother told her: "I don't want money to come between me and my child." Her parents, she says, wanted her to know they weren't the ones controlling her money.
She hasn't always told it this warmly. "I hated my parents for a long time," she told The Cut. The family depended on her income: "They weren't saying it, but that was the reality."
$40,000 a year for them. $40,000 a show for her.
One famous fortune here every day.
Was her father right, or was a 15-year-old carrying the whole family?
