It's deeper than that. It's just racism pure and simple. Those same people say nothing about the Royal Family's decade long defense of Andrew. They all knew what he was. And what he did.
The same people who called Meghan Markle a cold bitch for rejecting her father now blame her for not going further. Misogyny is real.

I’m sorry. You can’t just raise an entire generation on Captain Planet, the Magic Schoolbus, and Steve Irwin and expect us to be okay with destroying the world for data centers.

STOP CALLING IT WOKE 3. That's not how "woke" works. I can't stand y'all white people bastardizing our shit STILL. We stay woke. (And THAT'S the proper usage of that term.) Stop sitting on decades (if not centuries) of Black tradition.
for woke 3 can we stop being portrayed as men in dresses? can we stop being portrayed as having beards and thick body hair? can we start being portrayed as women?

If she reports immediately, she's accused of trying to ruin a famous man's career. If she waits, she's accused of inventing it years later. If she tells nobody, she's accused of having no corroboration. If she tells friends, she's accused of spreading rumours. If she continues working in the same industry, she's accused of not being sufficiently traumatised. If she leaves the industry, she's accused of being bitter about her failed career. If she liked the man, she's accused of regretting consensual sex. And if she disliked him, she's accused of having a grudge. You CANNOT win.

Talking bout folks wives is what got the taste slapped out ya mouth last time Bih lol
Chris Rock says Meghan Markle marrying into the royal family and then complaining about racism is like marrying into the Budweiser family and being shocked that they drink a lot 💀 Chris says Meghan knew she was marrying into a family with a long history of racism, so he finds it ironic that she was surprised by it. He then addresses the controversy about the royal family asking how dark her baby would be, arguing that it’s just typical in-law behaviour. He says even Black families want to know how dark the baby will be, joking that everyone wants to know if they’re getting a Steph Curry baby or a Draymond Green baby. 😭

The Democratic Party, was at its height of its political power when the political ideology of a candidate matched their geographical background rather than the parties orthodoxy. We need a broad spectrum of Democrats from southern states, coastal states, and Midwestern states — because that’s what America is: diverse and progressive. Progressive doesn’t just mean left. Progressive means fighting in rural conservative communities to move the needle as well.

it’s why we can still watch them to decompress or soothe our minds
We didn’t realize it then, but kids’ shows used to be this calm on purpose.

"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.

The erasure is crazy yet predictable. Hello.. Rev. Warnock is the pastor of MLK Jr's former church. Rev. Frederick Haynes was just elected to Jasmine Crockett's former seat. And the late Rev. Clementa Pickney (RIP), who was a SC state senator killed at Mother Emanuel.
One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

Leftists HATED Obama. When we asked them not to let a racist take office, they let a racist take office...TWICE! They refused to support Kamala. They HATE SC being an early primary state. They HATE Jim Clyburn, Karen Bass, Cory Booker, & Hakeem Jeffries. Notice a pattern?
