Growing up, my across-the-street neighbor was a WASP— and a total badass (she flew well into her 70's). I am so happy to have known her, not just because she was a sweet and salty lady, but also because, from a very early age, I knew that women could be pilots (or whatever) - and damn good ones at that - despite the…

How can feminists end up with all these abortions when they are all man-hating lesbians? I find all this so confusing.

Michigan is quickly on its way to becoming the new Florida. I'm ashamed for my home state.

Shit. SHIT shit shit.

"White people, as a collective, seem to be missing an empathy chip when it comes to POC." I had this exact same feeling after the Trayvon Martin verdict. Not because of the case itself, but because of the pure disgusting hatred I heard being spewed from white people's mouths during it.

Generalizing wasn't fair but there's a certain level of frustration where politeness tends to fall by the wayside. Stories like this, the lives lost, it's to the point now where you don't want to be a dick but you wonder what's the point in trying not to be? Something needs to change and until it does, people are just…

Holy racist assholes, Batman.

Also, I'd like to mention that there are plenty of decent neighborhoods in Detroit. Don't be ignorant and judge a city by its reputation. There are lots of people who are working to make Detroit a better place, and the negative attitude about Detroit really does these people no favors.

Stop it. Just stop with the bullshit already. It's bad enough that asshole Zimmerman killed him and fucking lied about how it happened but then assholes like you insist on repeating this lie?

Actually...we haven't come a long way. I see people calling the President of the United States a monkey, terrorist and all sorts of horrible things. Things that would never be said to a sitting President if he were white. Actually, Barack Obama is probably the most disrespected President in US history purely…

Nor I... I'm about a 30 minute drive south

I can already hear the chorus of white people: "We don't know what really happened. No one knows the circumstances. Everything is just speculation. Don't go crying race when you don't know the details!"

1) Here's to hoping that the Stand Your Ground Insanity gets thrown out over this? (I'm not hopeful, and it doesn't make things any better for Renisha and her family, but there is no valid excuse for this crap...ever, might all well try to do some good here.)

I remember it being loads of fun!! Here's a pic of me and the flower boy, sans cowboy hat:

Spinks said the young woman was shot in the back of the head as she turned to walk off the porch of the home where she sought assistance.

If you are black...

Yup. Racism kills. Literally.

I can't even. Just, no. That woman was murdered, pure and simple.

2:30 AM, black woman. Clearly up to no good. Shoot first, ask questions later.

I've said it before, and I'll probably be saying it until the day I die: America, you make me sad. RIP Renisha.
