It’s normal police procedure.
When a shoot out that happened a few feet in front of me broke out between police and a suspect they were after, the cops fired first. When the news coverage came out later that night, the cops lied and said they only shot after the shooter fired off his AK-47 (kind of a noticeable

So where did the bound hands come from? I don’t see it attributed to anyone who’s actually seen the body, instead being something Crump says he “heard.” It seems lie all the other damage could be plausibly explained by suddenly having the full weight of a human body on ones jaw and then choking to death, but the hands

I know I am days late, but I wanted to say thank you for saying this. I had such conflict with this essay and some of it I could not articulate, until I read

You captured my sentiments exactly. I have many white/light skinned cousins and have felt their pain. I’ve seen my bi-racial co-workers code switch to the point where I wondered how their psyches were still intact. I’m dark skinned and dissimilar to my light skinned mother in stature and features so I’ve gotten those

Friggen gave you away.

Do you remember that YouTube video a few years back where the kid in the back seat was coming home from the dentist kinda stoned on nitrous, and real woozy he says “Is this real life?”

Is that ... Tommy Wiseau?

How much of the billions from these NFL, NHL and MLB teams have been dispersed to Native

So these White non-Native Americans are made they can’t cosplay as the people their ancestors  raped, pillaged, and moved off their land? And that one tweet, “Native Americans aren’t offended by this” says who white dude?

That is a “little known fact” among a certain unmelaninated people. The original blerds have *always* known.

Tory Lanez, turn yourself in, and shut the absolute fu__ up forever, whatever happens after that.

reading this put me on The Edge of Heaven, haven’t had this much fun reading a comment since Last Christmas. So glad we have the Freedom to do this.

They are mutually exclusive. Blue Lives Matter rallies only occur after and in response to Black Lives Matter rallies. Blue Lives Matter could literally change their name to “No They Don’t”, and it would still make sense because they are always in response to Black Lives Matter.

Ok wow, she really needs to pick a lane.

From WHAM!:

I wouldn’t compare her to Candace Owens, Stacey Dash, that dead pizza guy who’s name escapes me but I wanna say Clarence Thomas though I know that’s not it but him too. All these people are grifting, jokeying for power in a place where they think they can fill a black void, meaning spaces devoid of blackness. They

yep. he’s fuckin dead. and it’s awesome.

This illustrates another reason Marlon James’ intentional, frequent usage of patois in his novels is revolutionary & subversive. He said the complaints he gets about it come from other Jamaicans and I get it. As an African, I’ve seen us do the same around pidgin, indigenous languages, etc. There’s a colonial shame,
