many black people said that when white teenagers clash with police, they never end up dead.

Hannibal more resembled North Africans than sub-saharan though.

What if he doesn’t identify as black though? Why is that so insulting to you that he would not? He doesn’t share in black culture, he wasn’t raised with black people. It’s like taking someone born and raised in Japan and saying that they are Argentinian because the only people you know who look like that are from…

Having dark skin doesn’t make someone “black either,” that is a colonialist perception of race.

I mean, why be proud of something you aren’t? This seems more like a refusal to accept that skin tone doesn’t always jive with colonialist perceptions of race than it does an attempt at persona liberation.

This sucks. Google Fiber is the BEST ISP, I will never switch if I can help it. Also, here is Greg McCray:

Let’s pretend for a moment that his spouse would honestly give a shit about his opinions on how to dress their children, but I was addressing when she was shopping for herself. Men generally get dragged along on those and for what?

But then no one gets to see my valuable and quite frankly utterly important opinions.

I’ve never asked a BF to shop with me. If he can’t dress his own damn self that is his problem and he won’t be mine, and I refuse to make him come along with me just so he can carry my stuff. I have several friends who make their partners go shopping with them when its just for THEM, not their partners, and I don’t…

With kids I can understand, but don’t you find it at least a bit arrogant to say that an activity the husband has no input in is somehow beneficial to him?

I’m basically just whining that this hippy crap got posted instead of something interesting.

Exactly. For all the utter bullshit that was Gamergate, lost in it (rightfully, given its small meaning compared to all the misogyny) was that there was a real complaint that the games industry and the press that covers it have a symbiotic, not adversarial, relationship. The Industry needs the Press to make positive…

Steve Jobs never portrayed himself as Arab though, and was born to a white mother and raised by a white father and the same white mother.

Considering no one else even bothered commenting, it seems I am not the only one totally uninterested in this.

Both perfectly suitable terms I chose not use because I am in the middle of raging against the corporate machine.

I get that this is important to her, but this seems like one of those “LSD trips as a play” that high minded liberals like to engage in from time to time that ultimately means nothing and says nothing except “I got really high and thought all this stuff was SOOOOO COOOL GUYZ.”

A big part of it is the number of guns in America: everyone has a gun, especially poorer Americans. European and Australian police departments do not have to contend with armed individuals anywhere near as often, where as in America I recently witnessed a traffic accident where a motorcyclist was knocked unconcious…

“R. Kelly is a rapist pedophile shitbag, news at 11.”

Lot’s of police forces have shit training. Budget cuts mean “here is a gun, don’t shoot anyone you can’t get away with it.”

The shooting of a white Australian is likely to provoke a very different public and police response than the many, many killings of unarmed black Americans by police in the last few years.
