so his initial comments about blacks and women were certifiably idiotic, but then he followed up with: "Just for public relations sake, maybe I should have gone and found one Black and one woman artist to include here that didn’t measure up to that same historical standard, just to avert this kind of criticism."
apparently stuffing one foot into his mouth wasn't enough, had to go for seconds.
Again, those are his opinions.
just because it's someone's opinion doesn't mean that it's immune from criticism. he said it, i criticized it.
]Russell Brand, shitty talentless person
Good riddance
recap: if someone's opinions coincides with Space's, he'll defend them. if their opinions diverge, they get the Space Dunk™.
Apples and oranges.
Jan Wenner wrote a book. He picked out the subjects for his book. Someone took offense to the book, saying it should have included blacks and women. He gave his opinion on why he did not include them. It doesn't even seem like he consciously said to himself "I'm going to keep blacks and women out of my book." It sort of just happened that way. Like that year when the Wizards didn't have any blacks or women on their team.
I've never read the book. I have no opinion on the book. I have no opinion on whom he should have included. Because it's his book. He can choose to include whomever he wants to for whatever reasons he wants to. And it as clear that it was his opinion. And if people don't like who he included or didn't include, they can choose not to read it. It sounds like the kind of book that only Hutch would read anyway (and I mean that out of love for Hutch, seriously.) Voice your opinion by not buying his book, not by kicking him off of a committee.
Russell Brand is a conspiracy theory spreading douchebag who is annoying as hell and who is alleged to have raped four women, at least one of them the same age as my 16 year old daughter. So yeah, I'm going to shit on him. I wish I could literally shit on his bug eyed face with explosive diarrhea.
