PRN

I used to be a Whoppi Goldberg fan until the infamous Ted Danson roast. I thought it was an exhibit of white men publicly engaging in lockerroom talk at a black womans' expense. The reason I fell out with Whoppi is she gave the debacle her blessings. She laughed harder and louder than anyone in the crowd. To the point where people were embarrassed for her. She defended the actions of her and Ted Danson, and took the backlash thereof. She was the one most affected since she was the one who was disrespected. I hadn't seen the likes before or since.

Even though she has kept busy professionally. She has acted in several movies and now comes on television everyday. Her public persona is not the same as it was. The idea of her being that strong,independent,black woman went out the window. Her voice doesn't carry as much weight. Now it's like if we want your opinion we will give it to you. Her relevance is PRN.
