It’s also the law that she has the right to have a supervisor called to the scene.

She didn’t break the law. It is legal for her to request a supervisor before she signs a ticket that constitutes an admission of guilt.

It is perfectly legal for her to request a supervisor. But only white women actually get away with demanding to see your supervisor.

Sigh. I was going to search for that video that was posted recently of that white woman who was yelling at the cops and threatening to talk to their supervisors, but why bother?

My grandfather ran the oldest grist mill in the US, that had been built by Davy Crockett’s father. He died in 1995, and a couple years later, a flood destabilized it to where it was unusable. Antique dealers offered my cousins a crazy amount of money for the massive, hand-hewn beams, but they turned it down in favor…

More than a little.

I said that Catholicism and Protestantism were “basically the same,” and I said that Judaism, Islam, and Christianity were “more alike than they are different.” Those two things are not the same as “the same.”

After my father died, I never saw my mother again, because she wouldn’t leave Tennessee, and I wouldn’t go there.

No, actually those are not major differences. Most of the cast of characters are the same. Most of the stories told about them are the same. What differs are the interpretations. That they are more alike more than they are different is the consensus of religious scholars all over the world.

Actually, the crew’s blind loyalty was not satirized by casting Slim Pickens as the naive cowboy leader so much as it was satirized simply by having the leader be a naive cowboy.

It’s only white women that can get away with demanding to see your supervisor.

Catholicism and Protestantism are basically the same thing, in that Protestantism is just stripped down Catholicism. The clue is in the name.

Worth noting that the MPAA had a serious problem with the sex scene between Chloe Sevigny and Hillary Swank in Boys Don’t Cry even though we never actually see what Swank is doing to Sevigny, because it’s basically just a long closeup of Sevigny’s face. Gender is definitely a consideration, and not just in the LGBT…

I agree that that was a dumb, clickbait mistake. But TSA precheck is bullshit. We should not have to pay government agents to treat us with respect. That kind of thing is just another engine driving economic and social inequality even higher.

Gee, it sure would be great if white people got fined for making calls like this the way black people get fined for jaywalking, crossing on the hand, littering, loitering, disorderly conduct, being too poor to pay these fines immediately, etc.

I’m sorry that happened, and I hope you are doing better now.

This reminds me of all the people on Gizmodo that responded to Portland environmental activists protesting Arctic drilling by blocking the Willamette River with “herp, derp, you do know your kayaks are made of plastic and plastic is made of oil, right?” and then congratulating themselves on pwning the sheeple.

There should be a fine for calling the police for bullshit like this. It could help balance out all the fines collected from black people for jaywalking, turning on red, crossing on the hand, littering, loitering, etc.

He didn’t have to, because he had a diplomatic passport. But he should not have been asked to. Do you have to take off your shirt, or your pants, or anything else that doesn’t have metal in it (except for shoes, which is just stupid security theater that serves no purpose)?

A. This guy is not a Muslim.
