Chris Rock opens up about one of his CLOSEST FRIENDS spending 19 YEARS in prison for a crime he DIDN’T COMMIT, admitting he had the money to help him get a lawyer but chose NOT TO 😳
He says the case showed him how quickly Black men can be ACCUSED of anything and treated as GUILTY from the start.
“I had the means to help him and I didn’t. And I don’t know if we could have got him out or not, but still.”
Denzel Washington on stepping away from acting at 70:
“I have other interests. I have books I want to write. I have sunsets I want to watch.”
He says he’s no longer using the “R-word” and wants to spend more time behind the camera, including finishing his goal of producing all of August Wilson’s plays.
“I’ve been out front long enough… I love seeing other people do well. I’m at peace.” 🖤
Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

Being first doesn't mean winning
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, "Never play fair in a game where others cheat." It doesn't mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they'll throw dirt.
My deepest respect goes to the men building their lives with no safety net. No rich parents. No wealthy siblings. No powerful friends. Just him, waking up every day, figuring it out, carrying the pressure and refusing to quit.
