Faizon Love

I can't remember the first time I saw "Elf" on television. I don't think this is unusual. Often, the most popular Christmas movies are ones that appear on television the most often, and "Elf" is certainly a cable staple. But that isn't the only reason it's one of the best Christmas movies of all time. "Elf" is a magical blend of earnestness and silliness, New York City and the North Pole, as well as a group of actors who lend their considerable talents to make a classic, eminently lovable film. On Nov. 7, 2003, "Elf" was released 20 years ago. It was directed by Jon Favreau and written by David Berenbaum and tells the tale of Buddy the elf, who is not really an elf but a human. Buddy is Will Ferrell's best comeback, and it's one of his finest performances. Ferrell plays characters who aren't as smart as others, but here he does it without the cynicism and darkness that others have. Buddy isn't mocking him. Buddy is just who he is: a joking fellow who wants to share all of what being human entails with an infinite heart that he wants to share with everyone in the world, from kids he meets in the doctor's office to his gruesome mailroom coworkers.

Faizon Love, a comedy actor, has hit back at the suggestion that black people in California will be given $223,000 in compensation, saying that the funds will only be used to buy luxurious vehicles. In an interview with YouTube channel Vlad TV about his thoughts on the aforementioned figure, which was revealed amid the ongoing debate about reparations for slavery in the Golden State. "F*** that," the Meteor Man actor said. That's another trick man, because the money goes right back to Cadillac and right back to [Mercedes] Benz.' In an interview on Tuesday, Kamilah V. Moore, the chair of the task force tackling the reparations issue, said that the $223,000 figure was not simply the sum of money that would be distributed, but rather the state of California's'maximum culpability' per person. Not just black people, but also black people, who suffered from housing discrimination between 1933 and 1972, only black people, according to her.
