Please forgive us for our extensive coverage of Vox today, but this is too good (or is it bad?) to be ignored:
With 4:44, Jay-Z is being celebrated for owning his mistakes. For a black man, that's rare. https://t.co/SakeWokRkF

That’s quite a headline you’ve got there, Vox.
WTF does that mean???

"For a black man…" really? How about for anyone or any man. Rewind and fast.

So, is this just a great case of poor phrasing?

I hate Vox, but I'm pretty sure they meant it's rare for a black man to be celebrated for owning a mistake.

I suspect you are right but let's just keep pretending Mitt Romney said something like this.
— Tom Maguire (@Tom_Maguire) July 6, 2017
We’re guessing it wouldn’t go over well.
But if nothing else, at least Vox is taking some of the heat off of CNN for a while, right?
Jealous of all the attention @CNN has been getting lately or what? /smh
— Joan Of Snark (@JoanOfSnark) July 6, 2017
We imagine CNN’s pretty grateful for this. If they aren’t, they definitely should be.

CNN is gonna dox whoever tweeted this… right?
