I used to watch Charlie Rose regularly, and stopped doing this because I have come to hate his entertainment industry segments. Glad I missed this one except for the last few seconds, and some days feel we need to dispense with shallow accolades, superficial appraisals that surround notorious personalities. Marcus, however, commands my respect. Astonished are you? I do not have the time this morning, and yes, though I have posted about social fear, and being targeted by multi-ethnic abuse, used the n word twice online by my count, and offended maybe 88% of progressive sympathies it might have been wiser for me to cultivate, I hesitate to really roll up my sleeves and apply myself to African American memes, for yes, I am that paranoid, and two, a reactionary is one thing, but a smart one with a multiplicity of scars is another, and when I bite, people do not know what to say.
I will retract calling Chris Rock a punk. Whether his audience simply accepts him, or really feels he deserves his recognition, I'll leave that open, but I find him shrill, mostly annoying, and wonder why you cannot make an effort to be less shallow, in incremental stages. Some of Charlie's segments may shift my rudder in the near future. Speaking of shifts, is this the biography you hope gay marriage will prevent?
