The ones he hasn't met?

"...while doctors may "know medicine," they're not the best people to ask about guns or gun laws: "[A]s a group they don't have any specialized knowledge of firearms or firearm policy."

States that can just secede already: Texas, Florida and Oklahoma.

It's like they aren't even pretending they haven't been bought off anymore.

All replying to them does is ensure that that misinformation is seen by a whole lot more people. If you dismiss their comments, no one sees it at all. If you leave it in the greys, many, many fewer people see it than see an ungreyed comment, especially one that's at the top of the comment section because so many

In addition to working as a campus advocate, I have years of experience in advocacy and survivor support. This is literally the WORST ever idea, and would effectively ensure that campuses never get the chance to bring up students on conduct charges. Administrators would be forced to wait for the police to conduct and

Please, please, PLEASE, fellow Jezzies, don't feed the racist trolls. Don't pull them out of the grays. Dismiss any responses that are direct replies to you. Giving them attention just gives them exactly what they want and ensures that more readers have to suffer through their assholery. Make Jezebel a happier place

I like his odds. There doesn't really appear to be any justification for beating and chaining a young man for trying to get into a damn college bar.

If one 'must' respond to a troll a nice way to do it is to screengrab their comment and comment on that instead of elevating them out of the greys, of course the best way is to just ignore them totally.

If I could star you 100 times I would. I don't even call him by his name anymore. To me and my sister he's new black no 2. Kanye is number 1, Raven Symone is number 3, and it hurts me to say it, but Common is now a member at number 4.

"I really hope Martese Johnson- an educated, articulate, well-dressed black man can finally open some people's eyes"

It should matter in one way, in the way the op-ed points out: the fact that he fit the stereotype of "a good one" used by racists to pretend they're not racist (cause see, they like "the good ones" it's just "the bad ones" they dislike! obviously!) and was beaten anyway shows that really it doesn't matter how "good"

Yeah, it's a REAL tragedy when "an educated, articulate, well-dressed black man" gets the shit kicked out of him. Not like those other thugs.

I can't believe they didn't drop the charges. I hope he not only beats the charges but also sues them into smitherines.

Johnson, who had just been reelected to the Honor Committee and serves on the Black Student Alliance executive board, had been turned away from Trinity Irish Pub around 12:45am March 18, according to a statement from the ABC [Alcoholic Beverage Control, I think]. His friend, Bryan Beaubrun, told the Daily Progress

It shouldn't matter that he's educated and well-dressed and adorable. IT SHOULDN'T FUCKING MATTERRRRRRR AARRRGGGHHHH

I don't know the details but given how this country treats black people I don't find it implausible that we are missing nothing and there is no in between.

Also, 1963 is optimistic. Schools in Detroit are so segregated it looks like 1953.

Back to 1963? This is how it's always been (for black people). The only difference is social media documents it and makes it impossible (for white people) to ignore, although many are still doing their damndest to try.

While Pharrell is in his sheltered bubble talking about being a New Black, our folks are over here being subjected to New Lynchings, New Jim Crow and now New Slavery.
