Chadwick Boseman RIP

[MtnMan]

OK, a lot of people knew who he was because he was a movie star. That makes him different how? Why is every one seeming upset because he died. Tragic to die of a preventable disease, but at his age testing isn't even recommended yet. I've had friends die of colon cancer also. Shit happens.

This has gotten way too much press/air time compared to the 186K (and counting) deaths that are the direct result of the fucktard presidents failure to actually do more harm than if he just kept his face anus shut.

His death had nothing to do with COVID.
I am reading its stage 4 cancer.

Also why is this in politics and news and not offtopic?
I don't understand anything related to politics in his death.

You feel it needed to involve COVID or politics to be posted? How strange.

When it's news, you can post it in Politics and News, seems pretty straightforward unless I'm missing something.

just a little something to add to this tragedy

basically says don't assume weight loss is caused by drugs tho in this case it was chemo and not illicit drugs.

Looks like not too many people knew. Reminds me of Patrick Swayze, who kept working while fighting pancreatic cancer. The nice humble guys who keep their chin up while slowly being eaten away, breaks my heart. I guess I know why he always looked sad to me. He was mostly likely in pain.

I feel so bad for little black boys right now. Like things aren't already fucked up enough for them and their families. This is the opposite of a black girl getting married to a real prince.

Going to watch Black Panther with my boys tonight.

Dang, not on Peacock (free). Probably on prime, but have to pay.

Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid.

The star went on to admit this was "about the most astounding thing that [she's] experienced", before suggesting: "That kind of thing just doesn't happen. It's just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully."
