In reply to "The Root" crowd's reaction

How hard would it be to instead look back on the Dr.'s little speech and say that while he has mostly been an Uncle Tom to Trump, in this one case he did a very brave and good thing?

The mystery: why did most people react well to Romney showing approval of BLM by joining a march instead of dissing him too? Was it because he proved his chops as sincere with his vote to impeach? Or because he's attacked by Trump all the time, you've got to support him, no matter what? I suspect it is the latter. As if life is a football game and you are a hardcore fan of one team. Since Trump doesn't attack the Dr., he must be suspect at all times.

And oh how the Troll Drumpf plays this. You are either on Team Drumpf or you're not. The actual issues don't matter.

In reply to But he said "Big Mama"!

"The Root" crowd's reaction to the Dr.'s remarks was sickeningly political.

If Jesse Jackson had added similar shtick to a speech, they would have been defending him.

The Dr. took a position in which several times he had to sell his soul to make Trump pleased with him.

In this case he decided instead to be brave and go against administration narrative and speak his mind, precisely because the topic was so serious and involved his own "tribe."

A lesson in keeping an open mind and not presuming that just because someone works under a political enemy, they are always against you.

Making everything political can kill. Look at what's happening to some red states right now. The political divisiveness is literally killing people. Another win for the Russian trolls.

By your definition, our dear brother Cornel was "canceled" after criticizing President Obama. Now Brother West is back on PBS, etc. So much for cancel culture.
