RUSH EXCERPT:
ROSS: “My grandmother and my grandfather, who worked days, so he got off work about 4:00 in the afternoon. We’d sit up on Saturday night, and our Saturday night turn-up was “amen,” “227,” “golden girls.” That was our important bonding time between grandparents and grandson, who wasn’t with each of his parents. That was an important time. Shoutout to deacon frye. I look at betty white. She has an iconic, powerful life. She also did important civil rights work. She brought people onto her show when it was civically improper to bring black folks on her show. I believe there was consequences attached to that. So rest in peace to this legend. I believe that her energy is something that even people who were cynical about the United States and its reflections upon white nostalgia, we look back at that and say, “hey, if they were like betty white, we could get behind this.” This is something that is kind.”
