White people never do. That's called white privilege.

She has not disputed that when the police gave her her phone to go through her contacts when she got to Lumumba's name she said, "It was him, it was him, he was crazy, he killed her."Out of everyone in her phone, she picked him. They didn't invoke his name first, she did. I don't think it is a coincidence she picked…
I don't think it is insane at all! I think it is the white American way: put it on the black guy. This is a tactic that has served white people forever and works quite well to this very day. This was a highly intelligent and rational move on her part. This happens everyday. How many brown skinned men in Boston were…
Source for what?
Rudy Guede is guilty and it is disgusting that you would connect his blackness with Lumumba's blackness. I can see how you would be friends with Ms. Knox: when it comes to tossing someone in jail, any black guy will do. This may come as a surprise but the fact that Guede and Lumumba are from the vast continent of…
Your confession that you'd be as morally bankrupt as she is only vindicates her actions in your eyes and that of others who would do the same. I find your honesty refreshing, but your willingness to toss someone under the bus repugnant.
That's right. She was due into work that night probably to be fired, in fact, because she was a shit employee. He was her boss. You all are so willing to give this calculating woman every benefit of the doubt. She is not some guileless naif. She's been playing the US and its xenophobic citizens like fiddles. Try…
Has he seen a penny of that money yet? Even if he has, so what? Are we now going to take the old Catholic church way of letting people buy indulgences so that money can make the moral implications and real injuries of their crimes go away with money? What rubbish.
Yes you are trying to defend her. They arrested him on her word. She had a choice not to implicate him and she chose to do it. But for her, the police bungling wouldn't have mattered to him because he wouldn't have been in it. Why not call what she did reprehensible and leave it at that? How would you like it if…
That's what makes me angriest about the Jezebel coverage of this. The prosecutor handling this case is a well-known nutjob who also claimed she was a witch. But, what about Knox's living victim: Patrice Lumumba, his wife, and his child. Jezebel is totally ignoring the fact that Amanda Knox has indulged in the…
That guy was very nice to her. He gave her job, didn't fire her when she began showing up at work late or not at all, didn't fire her when he asked her to stop being inappropriate with customers, and didn't fire her when she looked to be intoxicated at work. He gave her chance after chance because she kept begging him…
The ultimate in US whiteness: blame the black man when you want to get out of trouble. She fails to mention that Mr. Lumumba spent two months in prison and lost his thriving business thanks to her. And how does she deny the cartwheel allegations? There is footage of her doing it. Whatever.
I bet if PP agrees to install a water fountain that says "White Men Only," the GOP support for this legislation will go away.
The joke flew right over your head.
It is so hilarious that in Wallace's twitter bio it says, "You can find me in anyone's endzone."
Please. You were trying to throw a shot at Planned Parenthood by inserting Sanger's obviously disgusting and unhelpful views on race by invoking Obama's name and race. Planned Parenthood has evolved beyond Sanger and her views, so it isn't ironic that Obama or MLK, Jr. addressed them. Obama and MLK didn't allow the…
No less ironic than when Martin Luther King, Jr. accepted the Margaret Sanger award and addressed Planned Parenthood in his acceptance speech.

Yeah, but he's not judged unworthy to be a husband or a father. A woman with a "large vagina" is judged to be a whore, used up, someone too many men have had, and demeaned in a way a man with a smaller penis isn't. Being labeled a whore as a woman pretty much makes you radioactive, whereas women who may wind up with…
