It was a narrow and uneven walking path that had a handrail. Exposed just means at least one side of the path was a steep and precipitous drop. What happened as of yet isn’t entirely clear, but initial reports suggest she wasn’t clipped to the handrail correctly, or at all. It’s a dangerous enough section of path…

The fact that the entire world’s population still allows themselves to hate each other based on religion, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, etc. etc. certainly influences the fact that if you don’t give a fuck, you’re a fucking idiot. The classifications we give each other, regardless of basis, is the problem.…

Point taken on ethnocentric.

Well, they sure as hell know what blackface is now. And that’s all that matters, really. I can’t tell if you’re defending blackface as long as it’s done without knowledge of what it means or if you’re just really into cultural relativism, but even the kindest assessment, taking into account naivety, would still…

Modern history (last 100 years) has seen a steady increase in people no longer being able or (better) willing to close their eyes to the impact of history on our present circumstances. We still have a ways to go, but I am hopeful we do not go back to days when a slave-trading barbarian can have a nice monument to…

It’s funny to me the things we uphold in America. I grew up in New Orleans where the fluer-de-lis (commonly used as the symbol of French monarchy) is used so much it’s basically at the point of fetishization. When I was a teenager, my mom had some friends from France in town, and they could not believe all the French…

And here’s why you’re an idiot: Anyone claiming to be an ally of a U.S. group that focuses on and was created in response to a U.S. issue of racism, has a duty to understand what the fuck they’re supporting.

...Good? I’m opposed to the death penalty AND unnecessary re-traumatizing the victims. But I still want to know why his victims all reported that he smelled bad and needed to eat constantly.

The shoe doesn’t fit because BLM is a U.S. group in a U.S. context.

The state killing one less person — no matter how heinous that person may be — is a good thing in my book.

“Oh, but it’a just a few bad apples...”

Don’t forget firemen have super-stringent vetting before they’re hired on, should apply to the cops even more.

Yeah I think if a doctor gave a patient a few liver punches while he had them open the other doctors would not cover for him...

I always felt like the doctor comparison was the most appropriate, since there are legitimate ways a person could die in their care. A missed diagnosis, a bad prescription, etc. And there are times where someone could die because a doctor couldn’t save them. And those things result in major investigations, even when…

If I posted a picture of myself mocking your culture, perhaps unintentionally, you now have no right to be offended. You should get over yourself.

Yes, I am repeating myself:

Hey, dummy: If you’re claiming to support something that was conceived of in the U.S. due to what U.S. cops were doing to U.S. citizens, then it would help to understand why and for whom and in what cultural context the U.S. group came about.

Defending ignorance is the wrong hill, dude.

“I’m sorry...but”, “you people” and “get over it” are terms usually reserved for the biggest of asshats.

It is understandable that some people in one part of the world may not know what is offensive in other parts. The influencers that learned about the problem either took the post down, apologized or both. But some…

Ignorance doesn’t make you innocent. And you aren’t in charge of telling black people what to be offended by.
