I am loving the hell out of this.

While no doubt Selma the dog is a very good pup, she failed to detect that Kelly is, in fact, a robot designed to destroy any faith we may have left in humanity.
“God Bless America” is the worst song in the universe and anyone who plays it ON A HARMONICA IN AN AIRPORT is a true monster.
Thank you, Bobby! I work from home, so this takes away my tempation to watch that train wreck. Bring back Tamron Hall and Al Roker! Also, pretty much every celebrity that she interviews will be someone she offended in the past. It only took a few seconds to find her talking about “Hanoi Jane” on The Kelly File. How is…
1. It says exactly what it is at the top of every installment.
Is this 500 days of Megyn Kelly? I don’t want that.
Say the names of the seven rapists as well - don’t let a little thing like death allow them to escape opprobrium:
I’m amazed that 1) they didn’t also murder her and 2) she was brace enough to go to the police!
I read Danielle McGuire’s book shortly after the state of Alabama formally apologized to Recy Taylor. It looks at 3 rape cases: Taylor’s in 1944, a Florida case from 1959 and one from North Carolina in the early 1970's, set against the larger backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement. On one side the book examines…
And to know we’re not much better off now... where is justice for Mitrice Richardson? its so depressing
Jesus - that lede in the newspaper article. I feel like vomiting.
That was rage-inducing and also is making me cry a little. The entire justice system in her town was very firmly set against her.
Can recommend a book on this and other cases, and Rosa Parks’ early activism: At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape and Resistance.
It’s gross on so many levels. That they could try and buy their way out?!
I had heard of Ms Taylor before, because Rosa Park was involved with her case as an investigator, to bring the story to the light. She was what spurned the Civil Right movement as we know it. What I did not know was that Ms Taylor is still alive. Which just hammers home how recent all of this is.
I’ve heard of this story but not this part. . .I dont even know how to vent this rage. May she receive justice
Also sad too. WTF America.
I just read somewhere recently (here, maybe?) about how many civil rights activists & lawyers started out fighting for rape victims and thought it was a shame those stories haven’t been told. Glad to hear Recy’s story finally getting noticed.
She speaks like my older family members, they have seen and been through some unimaginable acts, and wind up speaking about in a manner of quiet reserve. That was just how life worked back then. Now I want to watch “A Time to Kill.”
“...ain’t $600 enough for raping your wife?”
