An Unforeseen Consequence

I think the usage of “they” in that statement is really telling too for a different, but equally nefarious, reason. It could be in reference to rappers, but I honestly think it’s about black men. I’ve always thought of Kim as someone who fetishizes black men. Ray J, Damon Thomas, Kanye, etc. She seems like the type

Another white person striving to heighten their profile by taking advantage of black talent? I’m stunned. Shocked even!

This collective meltdown by the pop prima donnas gives me life

Plot twist: Hiddleston has actually been a mole for the Wests this entire time. Helping Calvin has just been an accidental bonus.

It’s already been said that the call took place in New York, which has a one-party consent law (only one out of however many of the callers needs to consent to the recording in order for the recording to be legal and admissible in a court of law), but in case anyone is curious about federal law or state-by-state

I think his age is definitely a key thing here being overlooked. Even when I first read this I was like “yeahhhh, this sounds reallll self-aggrandizing.” But hey, the kid’s young and already knows what “white privilege” is so he can’t be that bad. He’s beginning his journey as an ally at a younger age than most. When

Forreal. I think with this decision, Trump has absolutely killed his chances of having really...well, any women vote for him. His voting base is only going to get whiter and maler than it already was. Between this and the RNC platform being excessively homophobic, transphobic, and anti-sex, the Trump-Pence vote will

I’m not so certain, although I see your rationale. My thoughts are this: he excites the anti-choicers, homophobes, and hesitant evangelicals with ease. All three are camps that Trump has, at best, been inconsistent with and, at worst, non-conservative on. So Pence shores him up nicely on those three fronts.

It’s so disappointing that the police neglected to do anything constructive when they arrived. Disappointing, but unsurprising. The priorities of the police are wack.

What do you have against Booker, court? I’m not a fan of his suspect tech start-up either and his unusually close ties to Silicon Valley millionaires isn’t exactly comforting, but at bottom he courts most of the same people (standard finance and tech industry guys) that the average Democratic Senator courts when it

Did they ask for a description of the perp at least? Like place you with a sketch artist to draw up his face? Cuz odds are this isn’t the first time the creep has done this, and it would behoove them to keep him in mind in case similar cases pop up. Were they so incompetent as to not do anything?

We should absolutely direct some of our outrage towards her. The prevalence of bystanders unwilling to intercede in instances of crime (especially sexual assault) helps to create a culture of permissibility surrounding those bad acts. Does “If you see something, say something” ring a bell? This isn’t that hard to

The Bystander Effect is a well documented psychological phenomenon. There are a variety of factors that help to determine whether people will involve themselves in the misfortunes of a stranger; generational attitudes surrounding privacy and sexual conduct are but two of those factors.

Blizzard has gone record as saying the game itself is non-canonical in terms of ongoing conflicts and characters relationships within the Overwatch universe. Only the comics, basic character bios online, and animated shorts.

As bad as the food stealing bit is, I’m honestly more concerned that he shared this online and continues to put her on blast on Twitter. Like, you realize you are, at least, embarrassing your girlfriend by exposing her to thousands of people online? But he’s having a good time! That’s messed up.

And the thing is, I bet he would never directly ask her to buy him something because that mean she’s, even if only for a moment, being the provider in the relationship. This is some fragile masculinity bullshit right here. Are you so insecure that you can’t handle your lady buying you food, so you gotta snatch it and

I’m going with option 2. These reminds me a lot of the DC Snipers back in 2002.

Speaking of dialogue, I’m concerned people will try to hijack the conversation and turn it into gun control. I suspect that, since it was at least one black men wielding a weapon, everybody, including the NRA, is going to come out of the woodwork and say “we need more restrictions on criminals, ‘thugs,’ etc.” Watch

I feel you on that. It’s a shame then that at least one of the apprehended suspects is a black male. You just know that the protesters, who were peaceful I might add, are going to be scapegoated by conservative media outlets as well as #BlueLivesMatter proponents. Which is to say, the narrative will be oh so

I see what you’re trying to do, but don’t you think this takes away from any constructive conversations that could actually take place on this thread by calling out another commenter for asking for an article on this? Like, have your issues with Jinni, fine, but is this really the time and place?
