Christmas Eve Karen: I’ve never seen a Karen in the wild. Well tonight I had my first up close encounter with one. I stayed calm, I made no sudden movements and got away as quickly as I could.
Outside of preventing me from entering my community, cursing at me and telling me I should be “White”. It’s pretty surreal.
I remember watching live. I'd never seen anything quite like it.
Almost 50 years later, this is still one of the greatest performances ever seen on the Academy Awards.
For this being in 1971, this masterpiece was arguably one of (if not) the BEST Academy Award performances in history. Isaac Hayes was absolutely ahead of his time; blending soul, funk, and pre-disco. Everything about this truly exemplifies how amazing this really was.
4 minutes and 22 seconds of Ultra Cool, ROARING from the '70s!!!
I will never forget as a kid watching Isaac Hayes perform this at the Oscars in 1971. He won the Oscar for Best Song, accepting it wearing a superfly tuxedo (the first black artist to win that category). I’d never seen anyone like him and for a nine year old white kid in little Potosi, Wisconsin it was like seeing someone from another planet. I’m sure my parents were shocked by him. And the song is one of the coolest tracks in music history. What a genius he was.

One of the most memorable and innovative performances ever seen on the Oscars! 51 years ago! Thanks for posting this!
One of the greatest performances in Academy history
I remember watching the Oscars and thinking this was the most amazing performance I'd ever seen. Still energetic and magnificent decades later.
One of all time best movie themes.
“Rest In Peace”
Isaac.
Danielle Chalfie was dismissed from her position, without honors, before this episode. I couldn't find any indication that she was charged with filing a false police report.
A Mexican restaurant in Ohio and its employees have received an outpouring of public support after one customer allegedly left a hateful message instead of a tip.
On Monday, March 3, a Facebook user posted images of a Cazuelas Mexican Cantina receipt with the female customer's handwritten note to the waiter, Ricardo. The receipt read for the $87.84 meal read, “Zero. You suck” on the line where tips are added. Below, the signature line read, “I hope Trump deports you!!!”
The incident allegedly occurred on Sunday, March 2, at the Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Columbus, Ohio. It follows President Donald Trump’s recent immigration efforts, including mass deportations of illegal immigrants and attempts to put an end to birthright citizenship.
“We are aware of the situation with the agent in question. Hate has no place within the CENTURY 21 brand, and we are taking this very seriously," a spokesperson from CENTURY 21 Excellence Realty told PEOPLE in a statement.
“After investigating the situation and connecting with the respective broker, as all companies affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand are independently owned and operated, we can confirm that this agent is no longer affiliated with the brand,” the statement continued.
... Fabio Oribo, the head of marketing at Cazuelas, told The Colombus Dispatch that Ricardo does not have a history of poor customer service. He added that Ricardo is a natural-born U.S. citizen and from a Latino background.
OPPS!
... After the post was shared, it quickly went viral and amassed over 11,000 reactions on Facebook. One person created a GoFundMe to raise money for the waiter, and has raised over $9,550 exceeding its goal of $1,000....
Hah!
