lololol!!! Cardi B is so adorable!! I love her so much – with her, what you see is what you get and she should be proud of who she is!!
Me too. She’s amazing.
A surprising number of people don’t seem to be aware that Donald Glover is Childish Gambino. She is definitely not alone.
It seems I’m one of those people too. didn’t know they were the same person
Honestly, I totally forgot until the This is America vid came out that they were the same.
me too!
She’s in the industry!
I don’t know who any of those three people are. I did manage to work out that we’re not talking about Danny Glover.
Lol when Donald Glover hosted SNL a few weeks ago he said in the monologue something like “I know what you’re all wondering, and yes, I am Danny Glover’s father.”
I finally figured that out, too… I remember seeing a pic here of Donald Glover some time ago and thinking, “My gosh! He looks so different! And why does he look so young?”
I didn’t know that they are the same person until last week. I like him as an actor and I had heard of Childish Gambino but that’s not really my type of music. I definately had a “wait a second…” moment when I found out lol
Glad I’m not the only one, Miss M!
LOL, Bless her. An honest mistake.
I heard about this yesterday and laughed. It’s funny…too funny…but I like her honesty.
A gay, male presenting white person supporting all rights except women’s choice? What a shocker there.
I don’t want to say I’ll cut him (her? The article said he’s gender non-conforming and I don’t know which pronoun to use) slack, but he’s 17 and reared in Catholic school. Some Catholic schools aren’t political, but I’m going to imagine that as his school bussed kids to anti-choice rallies, he’s been steeped in anti-choice goo. It takes some time for young adults to grasp what the reality is.
when I read the article, I was under the impression that his he wanted to talk about students being empowered to speak for themselves, whatever their beliefs. I couldn’t find it in me to criticize him for acknowledging the kids who went to the March-for-Life rally. I didn’t take it as he/she is against abortion, but he is for those who speak up for their beliefs. I could be wrong.
dupe post
March for Life is anti-choice, and he participated in it from the sound of it. Acknowledging it at all is tacit support whether he realizes that or not. My cynicism is from years of being in the LGBT community and watching gay white men support measures that benefit their lives in the narrow way that homosexuality restricts them while completely ignoring issues like racism and sexism.
I’d give him more slack, but the Catholic Church has only very recently come around on the issue of homosexuality and not by much, so that tells me he can think critically about the morality of a belief system…as long as it affects him. I would hope that his views would mature as he aged to include everyone else, too – considering his belief system literally supports women dying rather than having abortions.
I agree with Betsy. I came of age before social media, but I parroted my parents politics until I was about 20 years old. I mean teenagers are basically indoctrinated to have the same beliefs as their parents. I hope social media changes that and allows young people to branch out more than we did when I was a teenager.
I was raised Catholic and I thought abortion was wrong until a friend of mine had to have one at 17. Not all of us are raised in areas or by people that are progressive. It takes time for some of us to learn on our own.
That being said, I didn’t see it as him being anti-abortion. It sounded like he was just trying to cite examples on “both sides” of the importance of free speech.
I’m a 65 year old white non-rapper and I knew he was the same person.
I didn’t know they were the same person until he hosted SNL. I also didn’t realize he was on 30 Rock!
Just once or twice – he was a writer for them I think, too.
Not 30 Rock, Community.
He was on 30 Rock as a young Tracy Morgan.
He was on one of the live 30 Rock episodes.
He was a writer, as well. The whole thing about Kenneth being from Stone Mountain Georgia was based on Donald Glover. A lot of that character was based on or written by Donald.
I’m a compulsive google-er, and I have ADD. The compulsive need to google random thoughts that pop into my head saves me a lot of embarrassment, honestly.
I had a bit too much to drink of my birthday though, and ended up googling (typos included) “wtere can u byu one of those robot dogs” because I happened to watch a vine with one of those Boston Dynamics robot dogs falling over in it. Left that window open before falling asleep. Woke up in the morning, go to look something else up, and see that in my browser ahhaha. My husband was just like ‘yeah, you know they’re not like a pet dog – which we already have – right?’
But yeah – I think Cardi could benefit from some quick google searches, though I do find this funny.
Omg, the struggle is real. 😂 I feel you, Erinn.
Meh. I hadn’t even heard of Childish Gambino before a couple months ago. At the time I was told that was the stage name for Donald Glover, but if I hadn’t been, then I could see the casual outsider (yeah, I know Cardi B. isn’t that) not knowing this. There are worse things to be ignorant of.
Same here. I didn’t know of Childish Gambino until I was looking up who sang the song Redbone back when it came out. I learned at the same time that CG existed and that it was Donald. It’s cool that Childish Gambino and Donald Glover are now famous enough to be known separately by people though.
It kind of makes me think of that interview with Woody Harrelson where he found out that Liam Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth are brothers
I am still getting Donald and Danny mixed up
OMG I’m glad I’m not the only one
They’re fifty years apart. Do you mean you mix up the names, because they’re so similar? Or you literally cannot tell Donald from Danny?
She’s not alone. I found out last year and like her, it blew my mind. I’m still confused as to why, but the realization did.
I have to admit that I have no clue who Childish Gambino is. Off to go, go gadget google.
It seems to me like Cardi is just making a joke?
Bwaahahahaha! Roseanne was just cancelled.
In great news, Roseanne has been cancelled. I shall await the Celebitchy celebratory post tomorrow!
I just read this, Lol.
I saw that photo of Neville Longbottom yesterday and didn’t realize it was him. I kept looking at the bride and wondering if I was supposed to know who she is. LOL It’s a beautiful photo. Congrats to both!
Um, I had no idea about this, either, until just this second. But then, I have absolutely no clue who Childish Gambino is at all. I have heard his name once or twice in the last week or so, but I literally have not one clue who he is or what he does. Actor? Singer? Artist? Who knows. I don’t. I probably should, but sometimes I live under a rock. I do, however, know who Donald Glover is.
Not only are Donald Glover and Childish Gambino the same person, but the guy who just won the most recent season of Survivor whose name is Wendell is his doppleganger!
Not only did I not know they were the same person, I did not even know who either of them was to care enough to wonder if they were the same person. I’ll show myself out:(
I think I knew all this and his writing talent because I was a fan since Community. It’s weird seeing him blow up so much because I’m so used to him being appreciated by geeks and indie music nerds. But I’m actually really proud of him because he’s so ridiculously talented.
Same, same…. loved him on Community and happy to see his success since then!
Have you put your name in the wu tang generator?!
Okay I don’t know who childish gambino is, except that it is donald Glover in this is America video. Other than that, I don’t have a clue about childish gambino
I really want to talk about Neville Longbottom- I read he proposed to his wife 6 months after her divorce was finalized. So from what I have gathered, she was married, dumped her husband, and got with Neville. True love or social climbing/gold digging? I mean, he is super hot, but I wouldn’t dump my husband for him. She could have been unhappy and he was the push she needed to make that move. I would love to know more about their timeline, but nobody else seems to be that interested in this.
