Parallels Between the Defeats of Kamala Harris and Mike Tyson
The Culture really needed a win after the loss of Vice President Kamala Harris to #47. We needed something to celebrate. Sure, we’ve gotten a lot of laughs in since the election, but we needed a W. The point of laughing is to keep from crying for those who find no humor in the situation we find ourselves in. In a group chat, I was asked what brand of shoes I plan to wear when cotton picking commences on January 21, 2025. It made me giggle. I didn’t laugh that loudly, but of course, the humor is found in the fact that we’re not picking cotton. Period. Like, even if it’s mandated by law, it’s not going to happen for all of those who believe the reinstatement of slavery is on the horizon. I’ll be damned, but I digress…
The face off between boxing legend Mike Tyson and famous for being famous social media “star,” Jake Paul, was supposed to be the victory we so badly needed. Iron Mike was supposed to get our lick back when he knocked Paul out. Paul made us want him face down on the mat that much more when he crawled up to Tyson like a gorilla on Thursday evening during their weigh in.
Per the Daily Beast —
On Thursday, Tyson appeared on the weigh-in stage wearing nothing but white socks and gray briefs. Paul, dressed in white pants and sneakers, crawled out on all fours like a gorilla.
