White person to white person, this comment is unnecessary. If it doesn’t describe you, then it’s not about you.

Seriously. And the whole thing is simply dehumanizing when you know your attacker will likely get away with anything they do to you,while you will be punished for even one angry word. The power dynamic here isn’t suspended because of a death in the family. This comment section, Christ.
Howmany people viewing, and especially commenting on this post have ever had someone come at them like this in the workplace? Knowing that you can’t do anything to defend yourself because your job would be jeopardized, not to mention you would attract the attention of already shook up police? And as if that’s not bad…
Empathy for the racist attacker comes at the expense of empathy for the woman attacked while doing her job, that’s why. People have the attack right in front of them, and still talk about how the reporter *might have done to incite her attacker. This is literally taking empathy away from a black woman doing her job to…
I think in a lot of cases, even non white folks have been aggressively socialized to see WW as victims in any situation, and have little to no sympathy for black women. It’s really, really fucked up, and it’s not going away if we don’t call it what it is.
Really? The people doing their jobs and getting attacked aren’t worth rooting for?
A lot of commenters are really missing the point that the mothers of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin*, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and on and on and on managed not to attack any reporters even when they began flocking to report on their children’s deaths. There is another factor besides grief here, and it’s called whiteness.…
The clarification fucking kills me. Tweeting like our entire audience is straight men, fine. Snickering at the notion of putting a child in whoever’s uterus, whatever. Promoting abortion, NO. Never that.
You need to spend less time defending yourself on the internet and more time self reflecting to figure out why on earth the headline exactly how it is suggests TO YOU that the interviewee doesn’t deserve respect. Why do you think this 100% factual phrase struck you as “villifying”? The answer to this question is…
Oh my, what is this amazing gif from?
I KNOW! I mean, technically Jon should have been dead when she got there :( :( :( But he wasn’t!!! I flopped and flooped so many times I ended up off the couch and on the floor. Worth it!
I’m just not seeing it. Women who are Hillary supporters, as far as I’ve seen, mention the notion of having a female president as a positive thing, but not as a self-contained complete reason to vote for her. In my social group, none of the women who are voting for Hillary were supportive of sarah palin as a possible…
Eh, “Itchy Areola” was a burn for the ages. AB is really shitty, but that fact will never change.
I’m thinking about Murray from Clueless telling Travis from Clueless that he looks like Lestat, and I can’t stop laughing.
YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD! I had forgotten, god help me. I even sang my husband the chorus asking if he rememberd the song, and he also had forgotten.
The fact that so many elements of this poster are the exact color of raffia is disturbing and seems to unintentionally comment on the movie.
GOOD LORD Eric Bana is so DAMN fine in this movie. As terrible as this clip is, I just don’t even care.
I MEAN. Did people somehow NOT get enough of that exact bullshit in the comments when this first happened? Perfect gif use on so many levels by the way.
Generally, I’m not a fan of comments that even slightly suggest that racism is containted to certain American locales BUT since Arizona passed their own “papers, please” law I feel like this one is earned.
I guess you mean poorly educated as in they wouldn’t make the historical connection, but hearing a gunshot in a theater and assuming it’s real is the educated conclusion at this point.
