But yes, yes it does. It really does.

White women get found not guilty or are not even charged a lot of the time when something like this happens. The only part that played a role in this is the black part. A black person will always be charged and almost always found guilty.

Happy post-racial society, people!

I feel so bad for this woman that I want to get a secret network of people to illegally transport her to Canada. I mean, it's worked before...

SYG didn't apply because she is female and black. Please dismiss the racist trolls beneath you

Ethan Couch. Killed 4 people, crippled 1, injured another. Faced 0 days in jail/prison.

I mean I know the real reason is because she isn't a white man but can a person familiar with law explain why Stand Your Ground doesn't apply in this case?

You're missing the point: a black woman fired a gun.

REALLY?!?!?!? 60 YEARS FOR DEFENDING HERSELF!!! I. JUST. CAN'T.

Exactly. Ultimately all problems are inter-related anyway.

There's enough room for worry about the larger issues of poverty and so forth AND cultural appropriation....it doesn't need to be either/or.

For those who don't understand why wearing headdresses is offensive: Imagine that a bunch of people who have never served in the military started wearing Purple Hearts as jewelry. Now imagine that we're wearing it while dancing at a strip club. It's offensive because we're wearing something we didn't earn. We're…

What's interesting is how this image manifests itself into our psyche. You see, when this image is shown to a young Native person, they report feeling lower self esteem and depressed about what they are able to become or likely to become. Shockingly, when shown to the white counterpart, their self esteem is…

For many Americans, recognizing that there is a variety of modern Native American identities would mean acknowledging that their legacy of colonization and assimilation is not just something that exists in the history books. It's a lot easier for people to just pretend that it's something that happened hundreds of…

Sad to say, but the suffering of Native Americans is just so deeply whitewashed. I remember learning about the trail of tears in school, and I was surprised by how quickly we walked over something so vital to the geopolitical develop of America. Maybe a first step in this situation is to stop categorizing Native…

"2. For the millionth fucking time...you can have sex with black women/men and still be racist. Think of it this way: sexist heterosexual men have sex and marry women all the time. Homophobic, closeted men have sex with other men all the time. Sex and respect are mutually exclusive. You can have sex with someone and…

"If you think I am racist, you are racist" I...what??????????!

I'm confused. I'm a straight black woman, but I haven't banged any black chicks either - am I racist, too? Dammit.

1. Why is he addressing "middle class White Americans" for the most part as if they're the only ones who are offended by blackface? Oh wait, I have the answer: because he clearly cares more about white people than black people.

Yeesh. But I have a feeling that this guy will not be sleeping with any more black girls. Or white girls. Or any girls ever again.
