This is hard for me, because I love Will Smith. But Smith—like most new wave, #NewBlack people (in other words, black people who came into money and have been rich for such a long time that they rarely ever see the racism in things)—seems to be very hesitant to admit that an issue or barrier…

Unfortunately, O.J. Simpson would have to die in order to test this hypothesis: Dr. Bennet Omalu—the Nigerian doctor who inspired the movie Concussion by discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a debilitating brain disease sometimes found in football players—suspects that the NFL Hall of Famer has CTE. “I would bet my medical license that he…

Neil deGrasse Tyson once again schooled B.o.B when it comes to the rapper’s flat-Earth claims.
