I.. my god. Do people ever read the laws? The prison “reform” bill that both parties signed onto leaves almost all of the decision making up to the local authorities.

Well, he IS if one uses the stereotypes and implicit biases held by the racist white people who constantly complained about Obama - he’s a shiftless, lazy, incompetent do nothing who’s constantly late and is arguably lying about his religious beliefs (since they’re more so satanic than Christian in nature).

But, alas,…

Strong Black Woman™

Who did Oprah rape?

I have my issues with Oprah but I’m sorry who did she drug, hold hostage, sexually assault or was accused of sexually assaulting? False equivalency , do better.

Thank you. As an almost 40 year old Black woman, I feel gaslit constantly by this idea that advocating for my own respect is somehow disrespectful to Black men. This piece is great.

I’m not at war with black men; I love them very much. I’m at war with misogynists. If you think the two are automatically synonymous, that’s on you, but that’s not a belief I hold, nor is it a generalization I’ll accept having projected upon me.

Did that fake ass micheal Jackson shit to tarnish his name with them lying ass kids and here she is with a known rapist smiling and laughing. Fuck u and Gayle. Free bill Cosby.

Snoop has disappointmented me with this.  

As Bryant’s friend, Leslie has the right to her memories and recollections of the man. What is worth pushing back on is the notion that Leslie has the authority to dictate how Bryant should and should not be remembered. No one person, no one article, no one interview can do that.

That part of his history needs to be addressed and I understand why Leslie sort to smooth over it... it’s a friendship thing I guess.

I feel like some people don’t understand that you can hate what he did and still be sorry that he lost his life at the same time. You can feel more than one emotion at once. 

Your comment perfectly illustrates how stupid, reflexive and racist people don’t ever bother to get even the basic facts before they lash out. Were any of the 9/11 bombers ever reported to be discernably brown like Ilhan Omar?! I recall Mohammed Atta’s picture and a few other just looked Middle Eastern: light-skinned…

I used to be the same, with the “You’re gay, who cares?” I thought this was the enlightened approach. But that shit is the same as people who say they don’t see color. I don’t care, because my privilege allows me to not care if Lil Nas X is gay. But that’s a part of his identity and if he wants/needs to express it,…

Bitch, you sound pressed.  You need to calm down.

This does.

Even his scrawly-ass “signature” makes me want to barf.

The ‘’didn’t want to see anything difficult” part is the nuts and bolts of the right wing and libertarians in the US.

How can you be distressed? How can I ruin your life? It doesn’t make sense to me. This man works in a damn fucking surf shop. You’re not a model. You haven’t, like, gone to no damn psychiatrist.

It's an example of how we white people are experts at not looking at the non-white world. We're raised to just not even know if exists.
