She wasn’t actually comparing her struggle to that of MLK. She was making the comparison in an ironic way, drawing attention to the pettiness of her complaints.

Here’s the one from Wendy Liebman. It’s pretty blatant.

I was going to post the video of the evidence, but it was apparently removed earlier today because of copyright infringement.... But there is this video:

I had a guy do similar to me, 6 dates and I broke it off as I found myself becoming increasingly intimidated by him and how intense he was being. I was super careful to let him down gently, told him I just “wasn’t feeling it” and from what he had told me, we had different life goals (his included many children, mine…

You mean like the movie Hurricane or the documentary True Conviction or the documentary on the Central Park Five? Do you want me to keep going or do you want to remain ignorant so you can be indignant?

There are documentaries made about how the CJS has fucked over black people. Murder on a Sunday Morning won an Oscar and is fantastic, Central Park Five is on Netflix, and though 3½ Minutes, Ten Bullets is more about police brutality, it is also about how stand your ground usually only applies to white men.

This this this this this so much. FC is demonstrably bullshit. Assisted communication *can* definitely be great for people with physical disabilities who don’t have mental disabilities or who have less severe mental disabilities - people who have ALS, for example. My grandmother had a degenerative nerological disease…

This case is even more horrific than it’s being presented as here. The kind of FC Stubblefield practices has been extensively and consistently disproven (ie, in multiple reproducible studies, if conflicting information is presented to the facilitator and the patient, 100% of the time the FC will express the info given…

It’s because of Jezebel and the infamous sorority email that Brittany recreated that made me a MPGIS and jezebel fan. Jezebel should have her as their patron saint.

So I should read more books by women, especially women of color, I just shouldn’t talk about it or tell anyone I’m doing it, which would include encouraging others to do it.

We have to start nailing mandatory reporters for not reporting. Maybe once administrators start getting imprisoned for not reporting, some real change will begin to happen.

Women can’t be believed until a man verifies her tall tale.

Gibbs was fired only after a male student saw him photographing a nude female student.

If I looked that good now, I'd be nekkid all day long

if you want anyone here to take you seriously, you might not want to lead off with “chick” and “tits”. just sayin’.

Do you not see him stand and approach the car as it arises? Did you watch the video? I’m saying this is a tragedy but I would have never acted that way on either part, kid or cop. I had a air soft gun when I was a kid his age (6th grade) and was TERRIFIED that it would be mistaken for a real gun. My dad made sure I…

I did watch it. If you call pulling a gun from your waistband when police approach you “relaxing”, then I don’t know what to tell you. This is a tragedy but there was bad judgement all around.

A project at work required that I do some research (all peer-reviewed, clinical trials) on Lyme, and the prevailing wisdom is that there is no such thing as “chronic Lyme” or (as it’s sometimes called) “post-Lyme syndrome”. Some of the literature points to a psychological or psycho-semantic root. There are a lot of…
