eg...shooting a video inside the prison industrial complex where he’s nakedly flailing away without a clue as to the hurtful irony behind the setting.

Am I thinking of this wrong? Making bad comparisons? Please educate me!

But it is also another form of privilege that goes unacknowledged.

Maybe in a different context that is true, but on a show where they were specifically discussing people’s roots I don’t think you can say she was trying to “other” her.

Jennifer Garner waited half her life to claim Los Angeles as her home town and Regina punted her back to West Virginia. I guess she took that personally.

This is exactly it - the problem with the question is that subconsciously or otherwise, it’s attempting to establish that one person is not really American, or is a late-comer or something along those lines. You see it even more frequently with people that appear to be Asian/East Asian/Middle-eastern. The conversation…

Ah the variant of the classic white person, “But where are you from?” question.

You don’t take offense because you’re white. No one is trying to “other” you when they ask that question. That’s the difference.

“community dick”

Cube went from Amerikkka’s Most Wanted to the Far Right’s Most Coveted. Willie Nelson was right when he said, “Momma don’t let your babies grow up to be sellouts!”

1) Tucker is a White Supremist, I wonder if they talked about that. 

Or they forgot to grab one before getting out of their vehicles. It’s a lot harder to plant your drop gun if you forgot it back in the squad car.

Probably the only reason that he didn’t seem to have a gun on him was because the officers didn’t have time to plant one on him.

Break the bastard!

A 17 year old is a child no matter their size. If she was dating a 45 year old little person would you give him a pass for his size? Of course not.

Exactly. Kids can change and the Mom obviously thought (foolishly, but still) that ‘oh the cops are good so they will be able to stop him and then he’ll go to jail and that can help straighten him out’ ... not ‘they are gonna kill that kid and I’m going to have to send myself and my own kid to therapy for the rest of…

“is apologizing for calling the cops, and says she never indicated that Anthony was armed.”

Me either. But this was a child.

I treat the police like feral animals. Imagine opening a cage with a grizzly bear in it. Maybe it’ll attack your problems, but maybe it’ll attack you. You never know what it’ll decide to go after, but if you’re going to open the cage, be prepared for the consequences.

I suffer from extreme anxiety which is not an excuse. I am ashamed of my actions.
