As a Puritan, I am offended that we are even celebrating Christmas with these pagan traditions and with such string drink as coffee.

“I’m not a racist, I just play one in the condo, soccer game, golf course, swimming pool, shopping mall, sports league, board room, squad car,... Oval Office.”

Maybe a refresher on how the world works is in order - a trial may last several days and a lot of words transpire. The exact phrases and context are found in the transcript of said trial. The general public in general is not interested in all that, hence there is the thankless job of reporter (Thank, Angela Helm) who…

A sentence or two taken out of context is not the entirety or even representative of the defense. I have not read the transcript, but from this article I suspect that that particular line is part of a sequence of reasoning that goes something like 1) bar patrons showed open hostility toward Spencer and his friend 2)…

Um, if you are from the South, you probably have an uncle named Junior and only at their funeral do you learn that that was not their actual first name.

It’s what the Europeans in the Tintin she read to prepare for the trip were wearing. Puttees were a bit hard to come by.

No church or denomination is immune from, let’s call it, Catholic Syndrome.

Things to note:

Show of hands, would a black cop handcuff a white kid for doing the same? If yes, and also keep his job?

Sadly, you are missing something. It is not unheard of for stories to be completely fabricated.  They may think they are friends with someone or have a circle of friends but whether out of maliciousness or true insanity will accuse them of things they never imagined.  If they are lucky it will be out of insanity. …

Why didn’t the police just stop every guy in his late teens or early 20s... Oh, you said he was white. Nevermind.

Guess I’ll hold out for Michael B. Jordan becoming the next Jason Bourne in the reboot.

Hats are allowed, but bandanas are forbidden? Short-shorts are allowed, but bandanas are forbidden? Hope this guy becomes a lawyer one day - calling out BS when BS needs to be called out.

Well, you did ask the internet to diagnose you.

He only hires the best. He knows they are the best because their lips are stuck to his backside.

Did anyone fact check that jobs claim? Over 11 millions jobs were added under Obama.  I find it hard to believe only 200k of that 11 million were African Americans.  From this chart, it looks like current President is just riding the Obama wave: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006

You’ve got a thing for “nice hair” and the paper bag test.
