Every now and then, when I come across a black media figure that makes me want to pull my hair out, I think..."Wow, where's the racial draft when you need it?"

Ok, so we posted this a few weeks back, after one of the actors (I believe it was Meagan Good) posted it on Twitter; I guess she wasn't supposed to do that because, some time after, I received one of those cease-and-desist notices, and, of course, complied and removed the post.
