Why did Black sitcoms in the '90s resonate so much with audiences? "That was the last time we had a monoculture," PBS News' @GeoffRBennett said. "That was the time we shared reference points. Tens of millions of people would sit and watch these shows night after night." "Now, everyone's sort of in their own silos. Everyone has a phone," he later added. In the 1990s, there was a major boom of Black comedy shows on television, from the sketch comedy "In Living Color" to the sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Bennett, co-anchor of the PBS News Hour, explores the explosion of Black sitcoms during that decade in his new book, "Black Out Loud." He discusses his book with @IAmAmnaNawaz for a special episode of the PBS News podcast, "Settle In." For the full episode: to.pbs.org/4uOI5Pv

Baltimore Mayor: “White people use the term DEI hire because they don't have the courage to say the n-word”

This is so dystopian man. An entire nation under a medieval-style siege, slowly being strangled to death while the rest of the world simply turns a blind eye.

The only player who can speak before a game..

This is objectively extraordinary: x.com/clashreport/st… Jake Sullivan, one of the most senior former U.S. officials, says that the U.S. is in a war aimed solely at destroying Iran, one of humanity's oldest civilizations, against the U.S.'s own interests, at the behest of Israel, a 76-year-old state. Listen to the video: he says that Israel's objective in the war "is just break Iran -cause chaos," basically destroy the country, "because as far as they’re concerned, a broken Iran is less of a threat to Israel." Which he says is not in the US's interests "because a broken Iran means a broken global economy, as they continue to threaten the Straits of Hormuz. It means a potential refugee flow, like we saw after the war in Syria into Europe." He also says the Trump administration cannot answer what their own objective is in the war "because they don't know why they're there in the first place," implying that they're there mainly at the behest of Israel (otherwise they'd be able to articulate at least one reason). The curse of the "former official" strikes again... This is the same Jake Sullivan who, as National Security Advisor, oversaw the unconditional U.S. support for Israel's destruction of Gaza. Apparently breaking a people at the behest of Israel is only bad when a different administration does it...

Former CIA Director John Brennan: “I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump because he could not acknowledge the truth even when he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly.”

JayZ is not talking about the artists participating in the battle. He is talking about YALL participating in the parasocial relationship with artists during rap beef
