I don’t always default to male pronouns. I just thought you were a man for whatever reason. Chill out.

I’ve no idea. How often do you have to mention those titles? In what context, and to whom? Do you bring them up in professional settings, at BBQs with random white people, in casual conversation with black friends?

It would have been four or five years ago before I met him, but he’s not the same person, trust me. He’s much much better for it and is one of the kindest, most generous and honest people I’ve ever met.

Some people are saying the girl was his girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. That could explain why he didn’t kill her. It may also just be that he had more mercy for a pretty girl, he knew he couldn’t justify killing them both, he was already experiencing regret for what he’d done, his rage only extended to the man because…

So was she really the cop’s girlfriend/ ex??? If that’s the case, how is this not personal? How is the cop not in jail right now?

Shit I didn’t even think of that, but these types of people only respond to pressure. I’ve never done anything like that but will be looking up how to.

The crime he committed was stealing an ATM, during which he shot at a police car. But that totally makes it okay for a cop to shoot him in the back while he was laying on the ground two years later, right?

I read that too! Didn’t repeat it because I wasn’t sure if it was someone misreading information. Holy shit if it’s true.

I’m sure they didn’t bother to do a toxicology test on him, though I bet they did one on Guillory and probably Brown too.

Same. I think she had no idea what Snoop actually meant, and I find her question awkward and unnecessary.

If Instagram filters and the average teenage girl’s makeup skills have taught me anything, it’s that literally anyone has the face to be a model but what most people are lacking is the skinny, towering frame. And also the wealthy, connected parentage.

Question for other black people: Do you mind it that much when white people use a form of the n-word while quoting someone else? When I was in grad school and we read works that contained some form of it aloud, some white students would say it while others would skip over it or use “n-word” as a substitute. I always…

My SO, who is not black, recently got into an accident with a pair of black men for which he was at fault. The responding officer, who was white, asked the black men if they had “anything they wanted to tell him about before he ran their licenses,” but he didn’t ask SO—who was the one at fault, let me remind you—the…

My brother considered becoming an Uber driver for one hot minute, and I wanted so badly to tell him not to do it but sometimes you just can’t question another person’s hustle. Instead I planned to buy him a dash cam, but my mother beat me to it.

This story stinks to high heaven. Somebody is lying about something. Why and how would a young couple out on an ATV frogging in the middle of the night plot to kill an officer who just happened to be in the area? How the fuck does that make sense to anyone???

Niiiice. He got exactly what he deserved.

Are you trying to say my assessment is not impressive or my cousin’s lexicon is not impressive?
