CBS Television Studios has been sued by a writer on Matlock, who accuses the show’s top brass of directing disparaging sexual and racist comments at him and other Black cast and crew members.
The writer, John Lowe, alleges in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in California state court that Matlock‘s showrunner and executive producers created a hostile work environment “permeated by sexually explicit and discriminatory conduct.” He was terminated after allegedly reporting an incident in which his supervisor referred to Juneteenth as “Coonteenth.”

Be careful going with Summer Kwanza as a person by that name is likely to sue you.

I bet he also claimed they insisted on having a garage pulldown rope, oops, sorry, a noose, put in the script as a murder weapon.
It wasn’t 21 years ago. It was 2023. It isn’t real Matlock, but the DEI version with an old broad.
Coonteenth. That’s a good one. They should trademark it.
What a month. 30 days of “Pride” and the fake non-holiday that no one ever heard of

Then add in LGBTQWERTY and all that.
After that I never bothered with another Shondra Rhimes show.
That's why I like Taylor Sheridan's stuff. Just watched the first season of The Madison with Kurt Russell. A decent show, and not a single pervert in sight.
Juneteenth was okay but it should have remained a Texas thing. It’s been taken much too far now but that’s what the left does. Juneteenth will come and go with me ignoring it.
Typical hollywood, still.
Put out or get out.
Is she having a stroke?
Transformers. Racists in disguise.
Transformers. Less than meets the eyes.
What to say about Juneteenth. It is an actual event that actually happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, horrific, racist violence in a prosperous black enclave.
So did the Crown Heights pogrom, and the LA Rodney King riots, and the national murder and mostly peaceful mayhem after George Floyd’s death.
So how do you “celebrate” “Juneteenth”? On the 9th of the month of Av, Jews sit on low benches or the floor, publicly read the biblical book of Lamentations, shut off some of the lights in the synagogue, etc., read lamenting poetry most of the day, etc., and don’t put on phylacteries* until the afterrnoon.
*leather boxes strapped on the left hand and on the head, containing passages of the Torah, normally worn in the morning by adult Jewish males.
It’s what Jews do among themselves.
Juneteenth seems to my limited understanding to be an annual call to white people to feel guilty for the crimes commited in the last century in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’m sorry, but I wasn’t there. Not even born in 1925, never in my life been to Tulsa. So I don’t feel guilty. Nobody who actually was there is actually still living, of either the victims or the victimizers. So sh!t happened a hundred years ago. It was awful. It was terrible. But nobody does that sort of thing nowadays. So get over it. Or don’t. I’m not buying into it.
Holocaust remembrance day, likewise, except that people in America who shouted “Heil Hitler” at me, are probably unmoved by the remembrance. Maybe they do observe Juneteenth. Who knows.
Life is short, and often cut short by evil people. Keep moving forward until you’re done with this short life. Accomplish something meaningful, not just dwelling on the past, wearing it like a crown of thorns.
almost every single show seems to be over run with black swapping characters, female swapping characters, making them gay, and pushing a message. Never seen so many black white couples in my life. Its just not real after a certain point.
