And you actively try to de-escalate the situation? Do you try to also corroborate the citizen's story when they complain about your peers needlessly escalating situations?

What do you do when you see one of your peers breaking the law or violating citizens' civil rights? Do you report them?

How about when you're an old lady in your house, barricaded behind iron bars, and the police burst into your house, shoot you to death, handcuff your dying body, and then plant drugs in your house and lie about you?? How about then?

"El Manana" is my favorite video. So sad.

If what you say is true, what was Kathryn Johnston guilty of? Did her being an innocent person protect her from being murdered by lying scum POS police officers who will burn in hell for eternity?

Smith was the best boyfriend on SATC. Robert was also wonderful (I will discount his last episode - the last episode of every SATC boyfriend features the boyfriend acting like an unredeemable ass to justify his swift exit). Of Carrie's boyfriends, I like David Duchovny, the Russian (minus his last eps), and Aidan.

I agree - her answer was vague and perhaps deliberately so - she did not specify that she is biracial.

I agree - her clothes are to die for. Grown up, classy, sexy, businesslike - all at the same time.

I'm pointing out to you that being black, it often ultimately doesn't matter how you dress, because what people don't like is blackness, not what you're wearing or not wearing. Modes of dress are often used to arbitrarily exclude black people, and the baseline is always shifting. It's a pointless exercise to "dress…

And I began by pointing out that white people in general (IMO) tend to love to dress casually. Their manner of dress does not seem to impact their privilege in interactions with people of color.

Also, by default, bi-racial means black these days? Who knew!

I think the problem is that it wasn't about the size of her hair, either for the essay writer or for the other patron. It was about his presumptuousness, his feeling that he had the right to touch her, address her and demand something of her. I think that as a white man, he would feel very taken aback by a minority…

Good for you. However, I find that people of color have to be dressed up more (and in my opinion, do tend to dress up more) to be taken seriously than white people. If you Google "stars shopping" you'll see how rich white people dress to go shopping - very casually. However, if black people dressed the same way,…

I don't feel sorry for her at all. Live by the sword; die by the sword. If your thing is pretending to be pious, and castigating others for shortcomings that you also indulge in - you absolutely deserve to be judged under the same standards you promote and to be revealed as a hypocrite.

I agree - the headline is very misleading

Apropos of nothing, Olivia Colman (who is pictured in the still) has always looked just like Joan Collins to me.

That doesn't look like either RiRi Woo or Ruby Woo to me - both those shades are bright blue reds - that shade she's applying in the pic looks more plummy.

I liked that Girlfriends had round the way girl, teenaged mom who married her high school sweetheart and eventually becomes a writer Maya, bougie Joan, hippy searching Lynn, the scrappy ambitious princess Toni, and conservative William. It showed a diversity of black characters not usually shown on TV, and it also…

Did we have that show in Girlfriends? I adored that show.

I donated bone marrow in 2003 to a match made thru the registry. It was the traditional needle in bone thing, and I did it under general anesthesia. I stayed home for a week from work, and walked kind of slow for weeks.
