As a black man who has spent his entire life trying to convince people that I’m not good at basketball just because I’m black (my black friends were understanding and tried to help me get better to no avail, my white friends were incredulous until they saw me bricking shots and didn’t want to play with me anymore),…

So you actually had a specific job, and didn’t do that job for a while? That is different. This guy has never worked as a geologist, not for a week, not for a day. If you got a degree in accounting 30 years ago, but never worked as an accountant, you can’t call yourself an accountant.

I really do believe that Iyanla thinks she’s being helpful but she really isn’t trained to handle folks mental trauma. The way she handled Debi Thomas (sigh), or the young lady who was stolen at birth and was having trouble dealing with the entire mess. She was not equipped to handle any of that mess at all.

What is it that you think qualified someone to be in an elected position in a democracy? Show me the lie in any of my arguments, or you can fuck off with your sanctimonious bullshit.

Yes I would be impressed with that person, and if that person runs as governor of New York, I’d probably vote for her over Cynthia Nixon. If no one like that runs, and it is between Nixon and Cuomo, I would vote for Nixon because I like her ideas more. I’m not saying don’t take her experience into account. I’m…

The “popularity contest” you’re decrying is literally democracy. I really don’t care whether she has served enough time in some city council. I care whether she has good ideas for the state she would be running were she to be elected. Do you think Cuomo is a better candidate just because he has served as governor?

Yeah, and those are the people who will be deciding whether she gets the job. It’s not like she is just going to show up at the governor’s mansion and say “Mine!” If I was a New Yorker, I would care about her positions. I really wouldn’t give much of a shit about whether she’d served an adequate amount of time on city…

Who fucking cares? Plenty of people have run for governor without serving in a “lower office first.”

Why wouldn’t she be serious about it? We’ve had at least one Governor and one President who were actors, it’s not like it is unheard of. How many people run state-wide campaigns just for funsies?

Any word on the barista? I’d have thought the first thing the company would have done in terms of damage control would have been to give an update on the employee’s status.

I googled my own question, and the answer is no. The company is standing by her, saying she never meant for the men to be arrested and it was just an unfortunate situation, gotta check the training/store policies, what can you do? *shrugs*

“There is no proof that they intended to kill everyone”

So basically CPS helped white women steal black children from their biological families. Lovely system we have.

These children should never have been removed from their aunt, let alone out of the state. One 45 min slip up by the aunt and these kids are adopted out of state. These women had multiple inquiries by CPS. This poor kids were failed by a racist ass system.

The system failed these kids at every step of the way, and it failed them because they were black. Disgusting. Not only did they take the kids away from their aunt because the mom visited the kids one time, but then they LEFT the kids with Jennifer Hart even after she was convicted of abuse.

I truly hope there’s a special place in hell for these two devils.

I figured out why it feels gross, that I wasn’t able to articulate before. It feels like when conservatives go on about Muslim and women’s rights. They don’t give a shit about women, they just want to use it to attack Muslims and point out supposed liberal hypocrisy. This feels similar. They don’t want to stick up for…

No, it’s not.
