Charles Barkley:
"I hate to say this: (Mitch) gotta go with Castle and Harper. He got to take Fox out of the game...if you're coach Johnson you can't be worrying about people's feelings out here"
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

As Trump posts AI videos of him assaulting Stephen Colbert, here’s what Colbert was doing:
Dancing with his wife, having fun at the Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC.
Charlamagne tha God on Trump: “Our taxpayer dollars going to this weaponization fund to compensate his allies should piss you off. You should be outraged. Not only is it corrupt, it is a blatant slap in the face to the economic hardships folks are facing. Trump told you he don’t care what you’re going through financially. He’s not even detached from people’s economic struggles, he just doesn’t care”
