Kicking Crabs to the Curb

Don't ask me in any detail because I haven't seen a minute of it. If one of them passed me on the street I'd have no idea. But from what I've been able to glean from second hand sources, Kwame should have fired Omarosa.

How can I presume the dynamic going on between these to blackfolks? As much as anyone, I suppose. But I suspect that Kwame must have felt at some point that he would take extra heat for 'dissing the sister'. It would only make my case stronger were I able to percieve a bit of bourgie reluctance in K's regard of O's ghetto monopoly, and anyone capable of confirming that meta-bservation would be sufficient for me to suggest that K thusly didn't deserve to win, for what it's worth.

O was corrosive to the spirit of teamwork. I'd have put her in the basement and given enough static, kicked her to the curb. But not knowing the necessity for that in the context of the work to be done, maybe she could and should have been retained. On the other hand, how seriously can we possibly take this crap?

I totally agree. The moment he picked her (in a grade school team-picking exercise), I was annoyed. He should have stepped up and just said he didn't want her. Trump would have been impressed with that. Have the courage to say HAYL NAW.

I just hope he doesn't accept the KFC endorsement deal. Ew. Ew. Ew.

I think he should've fired her. But by NOT firing her and coming in second as a result, I also think that Kwame got the better of the deal. While Bill has a fixed job with a fixed income...Kwame's got the world in front of him. It ain't about whether he "deserved" to come in second. The better question should be...ten years down the line who will we remember? The guy who worked under Trump...or the guy who used Trump to make a name for himself?
