This is why I hate the passive voice. Activists as well as the victim used social media to identify the alleged perpetrators. They applied political pressure which resulted in an arrest.

Sharp contrast with White House site that has disabled it’s Spanish page.

I think this is unlikely. HRC got 95% of the African American woman vote. Since Black women make up the majority of African American churches ...

That’s not the DC that matters. No senator, non voting Congresspeople.

Teen Vogue. Cosmo. Mic drop.

The media? They didn’t even come to their own colleaugues’ defense until well after the fact: Jorge Ramos, Jim Acosta.

Some, not all. Many are career foreign service officers. Others are not necessarily wealthy, particularly for smaller nations that aren’t necessarily tourist destinations. Even if they are well off, they’ve still been serving our country and deserve better. And then there’s the future to think about —attracting…

Why is that?

If it was Mike Tyson or Sugar Ray, they could have helped it.

Blue dogs and Obama. Never a place to rest for long. Loyalty constructed of the thinnest possible ice.

I fear that our national “cult of busyness” (Ehrenreich) has blinded us to simple solutions. As a boss I’ve shut down casual social meet ups turning into exclusionary business meetings:

I can’t get past her false accusation of Lumumba and her “apology.”

And we wouldn’t want to look into things, I guess.

Already explained this campaign season, change careers. Endeavor to keep up

Mostly agreed. The larger problem for me is the cycle of I feel bad, therefore I crap on someone, then apologize when called upon it and it is clear that there might be repercussions. This with a side of trashing outrage. It angers me that Michael B. Jordan and Odell Beckham Jr. have almost no other reasonable play…

This hits the nail on the head. To be black is to always be under suspicion. Few think through the implications as you have done here. Implicit bias and deeply imprinted patterns of thought and behavior. And a big up to Quan Yin. Research and experience make it quite clear that it is difficult for us to read each…
