Despite Meghan McCain firing off four years worth of racist remarks and straight-up dabbling in vaccine misinformation at the end, there are rumors that ABC brass is not thrilled with Whoopi Goldberg’s Holocaust controversy and could fire her from The View. Would I take this report with a grain of salt? Yes. Would I also keep in mind that this is a network stupid enough to hire MY FATHER™ and keep her around for far too long? Also yes. (Page Six)
UPDATE: Jesus Christ, Page Six actually had the goods. ABC has suspended Whoopi from The View for two weeks, effective immediately. (THR)

It’s Black History Month! Storiaallineare kicks off her quest to regain her love of reading with The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears by Ethiopian American author, Dinaw Mengestu. "Mengestu’s novel feels deeply invested in quietly, powerfully challenging what we demand of immigrant narratives, and in slowly revealing the kinds of structural barriers that cannot be surmounted by…a full-scale commitment to American capitalism." What books about the African diaspora experience do you recommend?
