I am pretty sure I’ve posted this link well over 100 times this week already in response to all the people claiming this “false rape allegations is srs biznes” nonsense:

We saw that with the Black women in states with “stand your ground” who got sentences for protecting themselves while “stand your ground” was used by white people for outright unnecessary murders successfully. -__- It’s still very much Jim Crow beliefs in our culture and society where Black people don’t get basic…

In the U.S., Black people are the primary targets, but definitely not the only ones. Look at how the death of Ms. Tibbett resulted in a huge rallying cry to claim how dangerous illegal immigrants are and that’s why we need to build a wall - even though it was in the same week as a man who killed his wife and daughters…

The problem with a murder is that the only witness alive to tell the tale is often the murderer, so their story is the one that gets the most attention. It doesn’t justify why people are giving excuses to her actions - that is the white and cop privilege at hand - but it does explain why her story became the feature…

Shit, I never realized that my student loans now could potentially affect my future child’s ability to get them.

Because a country of educated folk tends to be a country with better outcomes. Supporting your weakest links creates a stronger chain.

Are there false accusations out there? Yes. However, we have a society that doesn’t pretend it doesn’t happen, but rather one that pushes that it happens all the time. There is this idea by our society that most reported rapes are just bitter women “regretting” the next day or trying to get revenge. And that’s led to…

I’m still just pregnant and already I want to do that to prevent my future kid from discovering Caillou. I hear Peppa Pig is annoying, but I would literally take marathons of Teletubbie songs over Caillou.

I have never seen glass nails before. Those look amazing.

The prison industrial complex is specifically about how easy it is for people to be arrested and sent to prison, and it does specifically affect POC, especially BPOC a lot more. Studies keep showing that POC are more likely to be arrested and sent to jail for crimes. Even juvenile halls already show that racial bias…

What civil rights do white people think they’re lacking that POC have? o.O

I mean those polls around Dewey and Truman were based on phone polls of mostly radio listeners when television ended up being a primary influencer. So that’s more of a time when new media was underestimated.

We did get a fair amount of stories of people finding out that they were removed for having common names (can’t be more than one John Black in a large county, I guess?), having not updated moving, having married/divorced/etc. and not having updated names. But part of it, too, is how many people went to the media to…

If California showed a lot of red suddenly in places that are blue, it would be super obvious hacking. Anyone who knows the basics of California politics would know not to do that - which I assume Russian hackers would have as part of their training. So instead, just increasing the power of areas already known to be a…

Yeah, the way the Republican numbers are higher in high level precincts is disturbing, especially when you consider that high density population areas tend to be blue.

This ain’t horseshoe theory. Are some of them corrupt? Sure. Are some low on ethics especially when high in cash? Yep. But to claim the democrats are really the same as the Republicans is to really stretch out reality to suit your perceptions.

I wonder how much of it is the white members and how much is the other POC who’ve also internalized anti-other-POC rhetoric from our society as a means to keep us all from working together. Because I do know plenty of Latinx and a few non-American Blacks (like one who is Nigerian) who also believe Blacks are lazy, and…

So now white people want a sexy female version of Donald Trump? o.O Or just to find out that female Oompa Loompas are actually 5'10 with Jessica Rabbit figures?

But, hey, sports are big business and big profits. And when has profits ever come secondary to your employees’ sakes in our country?

Dude, fat men can still become famous, can still be successful, can still be shown as capable of having a fulfilled life, etc.
