All of the language was a bit too polished in the original story, reeks of bullshit whenever someone relays a story with such detailed dialogue.

It wasn’t swept under the rug. Do y’all remember 25 years ago? I do. Domestic violence on the whole didn’t get the attention it does today. People knew and didn’t care.

it’s becoming glaringly obvious why you’re a writer and not a lawyer. you seem to lack the critical thinking abilities to understand the situation.

Performance breeds popularity.

What I saw on this video segment was an experienced, thoughtful politician telling a young black man that our racial problems will linger on and on into the future if he’s willing to do nothing more than demonize white people. She suggested to him, to his face, that he supplant his rants with workable plans that…

So here she is actively asking to listen, rather than dictate from a place of white privilege, and still THAT’s not good enough?

Yeah, but it sounds like what you are really saying is that white people can’t be rap artists. Period. I’m gathering this from your off-hand comment about Eminem and the tone of your entire piece. Not that I am defending Ed Sheeran as a rap artist, but your message seems to be aimed at any white person who raps,…

No see she knowns what’s best, it's terrible music and appropriative and so everyone who doesn't realise this just isn't operating on her level, including those artists you mentioned and the rest who've worked with him and those who like him and hang out with him. HES ESCAPED UNCOOL QUARANTINE!

Oh so this whole thing isn't sarcastic then? Obviously. History will ignore them. Yay? The important thing is to make fun of his appearance

This is messed up. If he was a woman, you would be up in arms about how you are judging her based solely on her appearance. If you spoke about the hair, skin and physical features of a minority like this.....no comment.

I’m sure there was a bit of effort and some protection of the big player in town. Ken Starr isn’t exactly new to any of this and I’m sure Baylor will flex it’s muscle.

It sounds like you are just feeling left out because the parties in the case and judge decided they would rather try the case in a courtroom rather then through the media.

As far as these things go I would take this over the mess that is going on with Kane or what went on with Winston.

I just think she does a lot of things for attention. Nothing she does feels genuine. She wants people to love her for being “different” but almost everything she does is annoying.

Yes, the guy hired to be the designated driver should know what will happen once the traveling party has reached their destination and should stop it before heading home for the night.

So... what? He’s Turtle? Don’t we want celebs to use sober drivers when they leave bars? “Off-Duty Cop Has Second Job As Chauffeur For Celebrity Friend” is pretty weak tea, as stories go. Unless we see evidence that this guy knew of and was helping overcome the victim’s reluctance, I don’t see the material difference…

“Every Compelling Character In The Entire Trilogy Is Male”

Always interesting to see how this story will play out across the media landscape. Here are my bets.

(And, to be sure, there’s an inherent racism in that dilemma: Few bat an eye at violent lyrics or misogyny in classic rock, chalking it up to poetic license and creative expression. It’s only when blacks are engaging in provocative lyrics that we clutch our pearls.)

The NAACP does represent and still does represent in a way black interests. What i commented on and you should read further down was the 100 % grade given to Bernie Sanders as a way of pointing out that he could not be criticized by black people. That is how i read the original comment. Later on the commenter…
