    From one of the Related Articles :

    “I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old 😳. Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”

    Good on his friends for calling him in.

    Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.

      Yeah, mixed feelings, it’s kind of like when massive corporations go pinkwashing. Sure, it’s better than the alternative, but they’re not your friend and you can’t trust them.

      People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he’s learning. People are allowed to change.

      Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.

        A dual edged sword. I would moderate that by saying whether they strive to work toward actualization of that potential, within the means available or presented to them.

      Yeah, if we can’t accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.

      This is exactly what we should be looking for…

      Grandad says something bigoted.

      Younger people educate grandad.

      Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?

      How do you complain about that?

        this isn’t about love and acceptance. it’s about marketing lmao. snoop said some shit he knew would get him in the headlines and now he’s using that as an opportunity to plug his new TV show. he’s been doing this for decades. maybe lgbt people are tired of their struggles being exploited for a chance to sell eyeballs to advertisers?

        Preach.

        When people come around we have to respect it. Some jokes along the way are cool too especially here which is practically offline (small circle of friends).

        Hopefully we can all remember a stupid view we once had and if we apply the Lucky 10,000 concept we know that we happened to be challenged on it when we were young. Someone was older when they started to see things more equitably? Welcome to the light side!

      Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn’t cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
