Do White People See Black Skin As A ‘Weapon’ To Be Feared? Host Erica Cobb Says ‘Yes’ (Video)
So… ‘weaponized skin tone.’ That is where we are. And Erica is right. You KNOW she is right. It’s just too bad that many who watch this are just going to see a ‘triggered’ Black woman and not even try to understand why.
While talking about the CVS employee “Coupon Carl,” Host Erica Cobb says Black skin is viewed as a weapon by many. She and Beau Davidson debate the role skin color plays in tense situations.

If you only watch this once, I understand. It can get monotonous; us treading the same race-related grounds with those who just don’t get it. But I watched this several times before I got the gumption to go see why Erica would opt out of potentially ‘heightened’ situations because it would be ‘better if her husband handled them.’
Hit the jump, and give yourself a pat on the back if you already knew what I found out when I Googled.
Damned shame it has to come to this. Like a Dave Chappelle punchline… She must know that, when sh!t goes down, “somebody’s gonna have to talk to the cops.”

Andre The ‘Black Nerd’ Reviews “Mission Impossible” Fallout (Video)
Wow! Well, if you take Andre’s word for it, there is no point during the play of “Mission Impossible: Fallout” that will allow for yawning or calling ‘bullsh*t!’
Andre of Black Nerd Comedy reviews Mission Impossible Fallout starring Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Angela Bassett, Alec Baldwin, Rebecca Ferguson, and crazy Tom Cruise stunts that prove he either is not human, not made of bones, or just plain immortal.
Wow again… just realized that Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is fighting the movie ‘Superman’ (Cavill) in there! Extra butter on that popcorn!!

Speak English For What? ‘Real’ Americans Should Be Speaking Natives’ Tongues, Or Spanish (Video)
So the cops can harass you for NOT bothering anyone, just because you (NOT speaking to them) are conversing in a language they do not understand? I’m asking… And above, someone answers.
Agree or agree to disagree, no motherf**king body can motherf**king tell you what language you must use to speak to each other; or use speaking an ‘unacceptable’ language to profile you. Plus, English does not have a strong an argument for being the ‘rightful’ language of ‘real’ Americans. Watch.
I gotta admit: I am down with ‘The Breakdown’ that Francis Maxwell delivers above and how he delivered that sh!t. Straight RAW! And I think I heard some ‘French’ in his rant, too (hahaa).

C’mon! Are you kidding me?? It’s not even close! We know who’d win, head-up, one-on-one, right? Yeah, you already know… Alright then. That’s all I gotta say.
You cannot tell me in a one-on-one game though that LeBron James wouldn’t dominate Mike.

Okay. And that’s all that Jay is gonna say. Hahaaa!

The End Of “Avengers: Infinity War” Explained (Video)
WARNING: Do NOT watch if you have not seen ‘Infinity War’ and do not want it spoiled!
Okay, Marvel usually licenses properties in 3’s, but there is a lot of grain and grist in the rumor mill saying there will be an ‘Avengers 4’… and bits & pieces viewers got by the movie’s end actually make that make sense.
Whoa. You’ve just come out of Avengers: Infinity War. You’ve cheered at all the fights. Laughed at all the jokes. You’ve been shaken, speechless and sobbing. You’ve made an appointment for therapy for tomorrow. Don’t worry…we’re all right there with you. There’s only one cure for the post-Infinity War blues, and that’s diving straight into the ending and trying to figure out what the hell just happened — and what the hell is going to happen next. Strap in, put your helmet on, and prepare your haunches, people. Here’s the ending of Avengers: Infinity War explained. And of course, gigantic, earth-shattering spoilers ahead. Last chance to turn back…

Robert Reich Raises The Question: Is Trump The Worst President In History? (Video)
Wonder how he really feels. Joking! There is no doubt about Reich’s position on President Trump’s performance and his place among the ranks of U.S. Presidents throughout the country’s history.
America has had its share of crooks (Warren G. Harding, Richard Nixon), bigots (Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan), and incompetents (Andrew Johnson, George W. Bush). But never before Donald Trump have we had a president who combined all these nefarious qualities.

President Trump More Compassioniate Toward Pundit Tomi Lahren Than To People Victimized By School Shootings (Video)
Y’all ever check out a video or three from uber-Conservative cute-but-ugly-talking ‘girl gone viral’ Tomi Lahren. Well, she’s usually the one calling out the wrongdoers and the waah-waah crybabies on The Left (Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, folks who disagree with her views). But here she is in the ‘victim’ role… again. Charlemagne Tha God might have found cause to make a case ‘for’ her a while back, but check out The Breakdown that Hasan Piker puts on her… and The President.
Our wetboy president Donald J. Trump showed more compassion to Tomi Lahren getting water thrown at her than victims of school shootings and the waffle house hero. Hasan Piker breaks down why Conservatives who spread hate speech whine about oppression at the first sight of backlash.
– The Breakdown
Oh, and Piker points and fires off on some other hot topics, like the NFL’s stand against #TakeAKnee (we posted on here).

Trevor Noah Suggests That Making A Frivolous 9-1-1 Call Should Cost The Caller Dearly (Video)
Hahaaa! Y’all are some SAVAGES for these memes I’ve been seeing on the extra-dry-snitching lady who called the cops on charcoal-burning brothers & sisters at the park. Keeping me in chuckle tears! And Trevor is in on the joking, too, but he has an idea that might result in good coming from the lessons learned from this ‘girl who cried Black’…
Trevor proposes an idea to stop non-emergency 9-1-1 calls in the wake of a White woman calling the police on a group of people for barbecuing while Black.

Food: A Debate On ‘The Best Donut’ (Video)
The blueberry on them hoes… That blueberry go so HARD!
Haha! Precious is so… precious for saying that like that. She and the SquADD go hard about their favorite donuts AND with shots at each other (par for the course). Gotta admit: (1) I thought this would be a debate on brands (e.g. Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin) and (2) Precious’ sexy matches her level of silly. She does it for me. Facts!
