I remember my first beer.

Jason does say some odd/problematic things in service of his weird grotesque of black masculinity: outing closeted gay men, calling David Foster Wallace a coward for committing suicide, etc.

It was right in the wake of DFW's death, so it was Dan and Terry doing the talking with producer Jason popping off out of turn. Dan was trying to explain to Jason that depression is an illness that claims lives and Jason wasn't having any of it -- suicide being yet another thing Brothers Don't Do. It should go without saying that I found this distasteful on multiple levels.

I'm having trouble picturing Jason diving into David Foster Wallace. "What do you mean you wouldn't go on another free cruise? How does that make you sad?"

Goff is beyond full of shit. I cannot listen to the commercials on 890. I flip and this fucking guy says..........

This touches on why "social justice" is horseshit. It's easy to rail against white men. You're probably not going to get any heat for slamming some white Christian guy. But we don't want to discuss things like the rampant homophobia among black men or the subjugation of women by Muslims.

lol. Yea right, bud.

Never heard that but find it odd he got away with it. Dan thinks he was his buddy as they corresponded.

Remember how Goff was so angry that missing black girls and women weren't the bold headlines across the country?

Well is he going to have anything to say about the coverage of Semaj Crosby from Joliet and the fact that this 16 month old black girl was basically discarded by the inhabitants of the house she lived in?

I suspect that any sane, decent person would have the same reaction.

Goff ain't right.

No doubt Goff will claim that the DCFS agent was white and, as such, has no right to call that living condition deplorable nor should those people have been checked on by a non-black DCFS agent.
