Never mind. I’m here for another in a series of tributes to the great Larry King USA Today columns. (Consider these posts something of a “sigh op.”) Let’s hit it and quit.
If you’re scrolling through Netflix and see a black actor, the movie will be either about slavery or racism…
I expect there are some lazy, good for nothing, quiescent bees too…

Isn’t it funny in movies how the top bad guy ALWAYS gets killed last?
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours. (Or, they might have forgotten something.) If they don’t, maybe they’re lost, and you should go out and look for them…
