This week, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for former NCAA championship swimmer Riley Gaines to drop her campaign to exclude males from competing in women's sports, saying "can you just address the reality and move past it? You sucked at swimming. You couldn't even beat the mediocre Lia Thomas."
Paula Scanlan, former Penn University teammate of Lia Thomas on the women's swim team, pointed out that "Riley Gaines was the SEC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2022. That's the reality Olbermann can't deal with. She didn't beat Thomas because he's a man who invaded our sport, which in my opinion, validates the campaign to get males out of women's sports and locker rooms."
In an interview with Bill Maher, singer John Mellencamp asserted that "only 1 or 2% of today's Blacks live better than they did as slaves. Going from the cotton fields to the playing fields--like what happened to Kapaernick--was no big improvement."
A stunned Maher asked Mellencamp, "am I crazy to think that life for Blacks today may be 100% better? Slaves were in chains, they could be whipped, sold away from their families, everything they produced belonged to their owners. None of that is the case with Blacks alive today. Racism hasn't been totally done away with, but significant progress has been made against the worst of its abuses."
"Well, slaves had some security," Mellencamp said. "They knew where their next meal was coming from. They were never unemployed. They weren't shooting each other down on city streets like Blacks are today. So, I don't think you can say 100% are better off."

Since celebrities ARE idiots, I do not see any semi or full satire.
Just the truth.
It’s the acting thing
If blacks choose to shoot each other down on city streets, why should i care? I'll stay away.
>Why should i care?<
You will when it’s your street, then your house, your kids....
Do you have any rental houses on your street? If so, they are coming to your neighborhood.
Mellencamp (liberal douchebag elitist) arguing to bring slavery back is quite the take.
