I grew up around racists... no black face... not ever. I’ve stated over on my own social media that, growing up in my neighborhood in Pomona, one could not be racist and have friends. My group of friends never thought much about it. When our respective moms told us to “go outside and play,” we

I'm a decade older than Megyn Kelly. When I was a kid, black face was still okay, although that was a reflection of a being in a rural mining town. I called Brazil nuts nigger toes until I got into college. Of course I learned to be more culturally sensitive. That seems to be where Kelly is

A wonderful actor, and a constant presence on TV when I was young - mostly thanks to his thousands of Pathmark commercials, which ran constantly on TV in Philadelphia for 30 years. So glad I got to meet him (briefly) four years ago and talk about Buster Keaton with him. A real delight to be
