When I was young, all the little kids wanted to be the hero. Being heroic and doing the right thing were promoted as something to strive for.

Now, you gain status not by doing what is right or helping others. You gain status by being a victim. In this case, you have someone that is living a life that many dream of. He's very well paid for relatively easy work. Plenty of time off to pursue other things to make him happy. He's a regular on a prime time TV show. 10-20 or more years ago, that was the point where you had "made it".

Now, it's not enough, to make it, you must be a victim. He paid much more than the average person earns in a week to try to achieve victim status.

I do not know why being the victim has become chic, I don't know if it's due to the mob mentality of social media or if the country has changed to the point where working to become something is so undesirable to the masses, that victimhood is now the pinnacle of our aspirations.

Don't have a link but apparently Charles Barkley on TNT last night couldn't help himself on this one. Constant jokes and laughing. Shaq and Kenny in on it too.

Maybe they write out his character by sending him to prison?

Believe it or not this is actually really good, especially the end.

Paraphrasing "He said people hated him because he was black and gay.

Now people hate him because he's an *******.

So we're judging him by the content of his character, not the color of his skin, which is progress"

The front page of Drudge has a pic of him wearing a f*** donald shirt. Dude made some poor choices in life and it's going to cost him a lot of money.

Can you imagine the **** one would have gotten if a non-Black wore a "**** Obama" t shirt? We'd be labeled racist.
