Fuck him, his rapist co-writer and the his supporters online. Especially his online supporters who are trying to guilt Black women like me into supporting his unapologetic, rapist-ass just because he’s Black. Guess what, a-holes? I don’t support rapists of ANY COLOR, full stop. So you can get the fuck out and miss me…

My sister just told me that he BROUGHT HIS DAUGHTER ALONG to the Variety interview and then objected to the questions about the rape pointing out that he couldn’t talk about it in front of his daughter.

“The timing.”

The timing ...

As a black woman I have to get this off my chest. If I see one more black man say this shit was brought up because of Birth of a Nation I am going to scream! I have known about this for at least 3 or 4 years you didn’t want to know don’t start with the conspiracy theories.

Why can’t people like this just say, “I had misconstrued ideas about consent 17 years ago and I fucked up big time. I was also an arrogant little shit head. I have spent many years re-evaluating my actions and come to more enlightened conclusions about consent.” Why is it so hard for so many men to admit when they are…

The deadline article also mentions that these two “gentlemen” stalked the victim afterwards, going so far as to hire a private investigator to take her photos on campus. How’s that for intimidation?

I ... it troubles me ... okay a lot of things about this trouble me, but what really sticks in my mind right this second is that she was so distraught, she attempted suicide, but all he can talk about right now is how this is affecting his life.

Not headed for Harvard this fall. She’s taking a gap year and working at, I believe, the US Embassy in Spain. (I know more about the Obama family than I know about my own sometimes)...

the clinton campaign? doing something incredibly stupid??

I voted for Sen Sanders in the primary, and am going to vote for Hillary in the general, and I agree with you. I’m still going to vote for her, but this was pretty scummy. At the same time- much though I like Bernie, I don’t know why so many people expected that the DNC would give him much effort. He isn’t a Democrat,…

But like... also this was really shitty. If Bernie had been your candidate and this happened I think you’d be pretty pissed. (Yeah the woman on the right is freaking me out a bit...)

*hug* I don’t generally cry in public (unless we count dark movie theaters, I cry plenty there), but I tear up pretty easily so I feel you. It’s an automatic response to stress or one of empathy (when the reason we’re crying is over something happening to someone else), and we’re not going to apologize for it!

That is a classic “Is she really about to cry in public? Oh shit, what do I do?” pose.
