Intelligent people often use the term "low IQ person" when being dismissive of another's intelligence.

The subtext of this comment is that the Mayor of Boston is Asian-American, whereas the Mayor of Chicago (like almost everyone else that Trump refers to as “a low IQ person”) is Black.

Trump: "Boston had a bad mayor who at least is a reasonable IQ person. Most of them are low IQ. I mean, what's going on in Chicago ... "

After the success of the Brooklyn Bowl show, they ran it back in Philly at the Theater of the Living Arts on June 3, 2013. Once again, someone grabbed the audio and archived it. You gotta remember that D'Angelo was very out of the public eye at this time. People were FIENDING for this.

The clip above is from an impromptu two-man show that D'Angelo and Questlove did together called Soulquarians: Brothers In Arms at Brooklyn Bowl on March 4th, 2013. It sold out instantly. I was there. 🙏 Thankfully someone saved the audio for posterity. You can hear ppl losing their minds.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.

My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.

Ananda Lewis interviews D'Angelo on MTV Live circa 1997 in promotion of the Scream 2 soundtrack. Cancer claimed both of them this year. Grateful that something like this even exists online so we have evidence of our culture's influence. Shouts to all the guerrilla archivists.

So glad this mentions Theo’s dyslexia diagnosis. At a time when Black parents were pushing back against the “over diagnosis of Black boys with ADHD,” that singular moment was the first time “I” remember seeing Black neurodivergence portrayed in this way in prime time TV.

So beautiful.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, most remembered for playing Theo Huxtable on ‘The Cosby Show,’ passed away Sunday. But his legacy spans much more than one character. I wrote about how I’ll remember him best. www.theringer.com/2025/07/21/t...
