Diamond and Silk get the boot from FOX, finally realize that...

racism is real.

The Amos ‘n’ Andy versions of The Simpsons characters Patty and Selma—you might know them as Sunken Place landlords Diamond and Silk—are apparently finally convinced that racism is real.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Damn, the Black Lives Matter movement is going so hard it even got through to Auntie Ruckus and discount Candace Owens.” (It’s up to you to figure out who is who. I’m actually not sure which one of them is Diamond and which is Silk; I just know they were both once girls made of sugar and spice and probably “Mammy” dolls.) But, nope—it turns out their sudden revelation that racism is an actual thing that exists came to them after they were fired by Fox News.

Earlier this year, Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson lost their jobs as vloggers for Fox News’ streaming service Fox Nation, which launched in 2018.

and give to BLM and to the families and children in cages on the border. Then, maybe then, they might be accepted back into polite society. Otherwise, stay out in the soon to be hinterlands, exiled with the other trump zombies. Time to cash out is all they are worried about.

I just got an email from them asking for donations for Trump's campaign (somehow I ended up on a Trumper list )
