5. Go Cards! [Baseball won't start for awhile.--ed.] Doesn't matter. WOOOO!
4. Thanks a bunch, Ireland. [He's Catholic now.--ed.] Chortle. True story.
3. I'll tell you why. Because R. Kelly is "ghetto." He was never quite acceptable to white people. The most racist thing is this right here: They/we don't expect better. The Cosby thing hurts, because he is like us. He gave us white people exactly what we wanted, in the very deepest recesses of our Lincoln-loving, paternalist souls: the ideal Black man. We could love him without cost, like an entertainer MLK. Man, it's hard to write that. But it's true.
2. Then again, I doubt Ali is any less beloved, though he was about as "unacceptable" at certain points as anybody. Liberal revisionism that worked, for once? Who knows?
1. If Will Smith does something heinous, I might curl into the fetal position and sob, with the rest of White America. Sigh.
