Because the two things are un-fucking-related.

I can’t speak for the author of this post, but your comment was general enough for any Black person to reply, so here I go!
1. Have you asked any of your Black friends or family members about this? Perhaps someone near and dear to your heart could get some empathy from you. Perhaps you’d know enough about their life…

On Lawrence O'Donnell, he had a segment where he talked about New Yorkers for the most part have not fallen prey to the fear/terror that these attacks were intended to provoke. He compared the attitude to that of Londoners during the bombing in World War II - "Keep Calm and Carry On". He also said that the people that…

Clearly you’re not the only one “shocked” with 84 stars and counting. You’re still wrong, but take comfort in the fact you’re not alone. Your comment is bad and you should feel bad for trying to drum up sympathy for an apparent killer based on a completely unfounded assumption.

You’re not wrong to say this smells funny, but there is no way to separate this into one part “serious racial discrimination” and one part “less so, but still serious gender discrimination” without reducing the former. Let’s not reduce this. Not one bit.

The best part about some of these “ISIS attacks” is when all of the facts eventually come out.

I actually hate it when a story like this breaks, because the news outlets all feel they have to go wall-to-wall, when they don’t know anything. So hours and column-inches get filled up with blather, and there doesn’t seem to be a safe place to get just whatever is actually known right now and nothing else. So I stay…

i think the real fear and the real danger here is that the trump campaign will tie this to not only radicalized islam, but democratic party policy, so as to embolden the torch and pitchfork party into claiming he’s the only one who can protect us from such attacks.

I mean, that photo is pretty damn tragic, and I think people should see it. Heroin, and other nastier substitutes for it, are not marijuana. It seems as if we are seeing a rise in usage of them.

Missing from the FB post: links to resources people can call to report/help addicts, decency, empathy.

FUCK this bullshit ass crap that they are trying to call “awareness.” This shit makes me seethe with anger. Everybody knows there’s a huge opiate problem in this country. Every. Body. Fucking. Knows. We had a commercial advertising a special medication for opioid users that are constipated during the motherfucking…

I feel like he wanted to say “they’re surrounding him like Usama bin Laden!” but he wisely held off. Though that would’ve flowed great!

I was on the edge of my seat. Is he going to go the terrorist route, or make some quip about the guy being made out of fried bread? Shit, this cannot end well. Oh, bank robber? Yes yes, brilliant!

I actually sort of appreciate the evangelical support for Trump. They might as well just come out and say, “Hey, America! We hate brown people and women more than we love Jesus!”

I am a lifelong Denver fan. One of the earliest photos taken of me as an infant was with a Broncos blanket over me in the crib. Watching Peyton Manning shill for every product under the sun for the past few years while telling the fans to shut up and stop bothering him makes me wish Mom had put that blanket over my…

So they cut out a useless middleman. Sounds like good business to me.
