There’s a video now that completely vindicates Venus & the police have rescinded their initial accusation (which basically was based on: Venus was black, the victims were white, so Venus must have been at fault... somehow... even though her car was the one T-boned from the side). http://deadspin.com/police-rescind-conc…

No seat belt & driving way too fast for someone whose light had just turned green. There were 2 other cars on that 3-lane road and they were both stationary. http://deadspin.com/police-rescind-conclusion-that-venus-williams-was-at-fa-1796736365
Actually your first assessment was right: Venus was not in the wrong - she entered on a green & the victim’s wife was driving too fast for someone whose light had just turned green. http://deadspin.com/police-rescind-conclusion-that-venus-williams-was-at-fa-1796736365
Well the recently released video footage has proven that Venus really was completely innocent in this. She DID enter the intersection on a green. The other drive WAS moving too fast (3 lanes, the other 2 cars are stationary while this person’s car was FLYING down the road).
And the award for Bigot of the Day goes to...
It's bad because she's mediocre and successful and defies the trope that women need to be exceptional (twice as good to get half as much credit) to be nearly as successful as men. That Jezebel, a so-Called feminist site is enforcing this, lies the irony.
But the writer repeatedly said she didn't freeze up, she wasn't afraid. That's what she said and that's the situation we're analyzing.
Verbal non-consent =/= Non verbal consent.
These analogies don’t fit this situation:
And the really controversial part of the article that you don’t even want to think about apparently, is that the author even admitted that this is nearly identical to what she does to guys she is enthusiastically consenting to.
What is the US government ‘cracking down’ on here, exactly? Coming to the USA to have a baby is a VALID reason to have a visa. Where I work we have a form letter that we prepare for potential patients to come for their babies. All they need to show the visa officers are the letter from my hospital saying they have a…
Take advantage of what? The male/female income-gap? The wonderful fourth amendment that make these foreigners more likely to be accidentally murdered in the US? Systematic racism that will work against them for the rest of their lives? Giving Uncle Sam a dollar every time Auntie Jennie buys you a watch for your…
It’s not $15K for the medical fees. It’s more like something between $3K to $8K for a single-child vaginal delivery. It fluctuates depending on the State and on complications (vaginal single-births is cheapest; Caesarean multiples are the most expensive; if you come in your 3rd trimester, you get a better deal too).
In the words of Regina George: "Boo, you whore."
OMG? It snows in Nigeria?????
Boys and girls ranging in age from ten to eighteen, all communally bathing naked together. No, that doesn't sound like a recipe for disaster at all.
WTF? In Nigeria? You buy birth control from the pharmacy at the corner. The only drug I've ever needed a prescription for was - weirdly - cough medicine because apparently, some dudes in the North have been using it to get an alcohol fix. But other than that, you can buy anything from Clomid to steroids from your…
Most older Nigerian families - even Christian Igbos - that I know don't co-sleep if they can afford it. It's the young'uns that do it - it's a generational thing.
Food for thought: what makes you think I'm a Westerner?
It's interesting that you conclude with the 'don't speak for my culture to me' when you've been pretty much speaking for close to a hundred other cultures on their behalf. You're not an authority on the entire Igbo-speaking community of Nigeria, and you're certainly not an authority on the entirety of the South.…
