I don’t outright believe accusations about public figures but this guy has had a bad reputation based on numerous accounts for a very long time. Even more damning, I don’t think there are any positive rumors about his treatment of women.

The worst is how the word “whoa” has suddenly become “woah”.

Nope, it hasn’t. I think it’s probably more of an autocorrect thing, but for reference, here are the entries from Webster’s New World Dictionary:

This...is pretty fucking cool. Raising awareness in any venue at any time IMO is welcome.

The only reason those statues were erected was to remind black people “of their place”. Racism, pure and simple. Nearly every single Confederate statue has been erected as an explicit response to blacks fighting for their rights.

As Ta-Nehasi Coates was reminding people on twitter: 3/5s of a person was already a compromise. Missouri was a compromise. Lincoln’s election platform was a compromise. The road to the civil war was paved in compromises that never managed to be enough for the slaveholders of the south.

I’ll never get these bizarre justifications for the fetish of building statues to Confederates. Rommel was actually an honourable soldier and general but we don’t build monuments to him all over Europe because he was still on the side of the Nazis during the War.

Where did I say he was charged? I said it would be ridiculous to charge anyone, whether this guy or MacGowan on trace evidence of narcotics. It’s unbelieve that anyone issued an arrest warrant for someone because trace evidence of narcotics was found on a piece of luggage, especially since that luggage wasn’t taken…

It was a figure of speech. If you’re around coke at a party or do some yourself chances are you’d be covered in a trace amount of it. It could certainly be enough to get a sniffer dog to pick you out of a crowd or cause a positive result on a test swab run over your clothes. Yet that doesn’t mean the cops would…

Yes but that would still be a ridiculous charge. You’re not supposed to have drugs in your possession. You could have partied all night and still be covered in coke powder for brunch but what would you be charged with? You’re not high, you don’t have drugs in your pocket that you can do or sell, so, what would the…

With every tweet, he digs himself deeper.

Especially at night where they can see IN but you can’t see OUT. Nooope.

Yeah, curtains all the way. I had a friend who bought a large ass 60" TV back in the day when those were like $4k+. He put it on a fireplace mantle right next to a huge bay window. And only had blinds on the window which were never closed.

I’m all for natural light but to have nothing covering your windows is too much. No blinds, no curtains, no sheet if you can’t afford the above, no aluminum foil if your house doubles as a crack house, no nothing.

You’ve paid for the view and/or natural light. My husband and I have arguments constantly about closing the blinds. I don’t mind opening them during the day when the angle of the sun against the glass makes it hard for people to see in, but even then, I frequently don’t have the blinds all the way open. (And even…

Cosigned: a white dude who grew up in the inner-city of Houston. I might be the only person in Austin who locks everything all the time.

Imagine the shock when they find gasp the driver might be a minority.

The White Naivety is so weird on this one though. White people are terrified as shit that some black demon is gonna break into their suburban home when they’re asleep and rob them; but now they’re just gonna give a key to an Amazon server that anyone can get access to????

On its face, this isn’t a terrible idea.
