Ohanian did a good thing but he probably wanted out of Reddit for a while now. It’s kind of tainted. Still, he could have just left but instead he’s trying to make his exit bring about some much needed change.

I think you’re being a little harsh on this guy. He accomplished something pretty difficult to do at this stage of the protest; he made this about himself. That’s got to count for something.

POLICE UNIONS ARE THE FUCKING WORST.

You can see one of the cops go to help him and immediately get yanked back by another officer. I cannot even. 

“Now, boys, I’m extremely disappointed In you for pulling that fire alarm during the school assembly. Two days detention! But, sure, you can still go to the homecoming game...”

EXACTLY! At least 20 offices had to agree to say that he tripped after WATCHING HIM GET PUSHED. That’s not 2 bad apples, that’s the whole fucking force - that’s systemic.

You left out a key element of this. The official report first stated that the man “tripped and fell”... that Is, until the video emerged.

For real, if she kept her head down and her mouth shut she wouldn’t have gotten any pushback. But trying to say the right thing and phrasing it awkwardly makes her headline material, apparently.

The average Grey’s fan is probably not much of an activist. They’re not likely to be particularly racist, considering it’s a Shonda show, but they might be complacent and think “Look at this show I love, with all these diverse actors! There can’t be that much racism if this popular show has lots of black doctors!”

I am really struggling with what is going on with these Jezebel writers lately. They are just shitting on people for ridiculous reasons, blatantly missing the point, and from the comments it’s more than obvious that they are entirely out of touch with their audience. The fact that they’ve *more than once* mocked…

Not to speak for Michael’s family but a lot of Black families stopped eating pork in the late-60s as they started investigating other religions (including Islam), interrogating how many of our habits were born out of the necessities of slavery and the prevalence of worms and parasites in pork racist distributors sent…

So you’re mad at her for going to a rally and talking about what’s happening? I keep seeing people being mad about silence, but then people who do speak are still attacked? And this is why people don’t want to speak about this, because there are people who will attack them no matter what they say. You’re not helping…

“You tell me” is pretty much the closest thing to /s in the spoken word. 

I could be unfairly giving Ellen Pompeo the benefit of the doubt here, but it seems to me that she specifically posted this to call out the racism and hypocrisy of having excess police presence/militarization at a protest about black people dying due to racism and excessive police force. This seems like an…

At a time when we are witnessing our police become brazenly lawless against peaceful protesters, we should absolutely be screaming about all of these very alarming things that they are doing. Plus, I’m pretty sure Ellen Pompeo has previously spoken about racial justice, but go ahead with your snark, I guess.

..... Ellen, I really hope that’s a rhetorical question because the answer is extremely obvious.

I feel like it was pretty clear that Ellen’s question was rhetorical...

Apologize in advance as not sure how to approach this without sounding like I’m mansplaining, and can’t think of how to do this without it being a novella. This stuff is really messy, so will probably not explain it well.

As a Korean who have lived in 6 years in the US for school, please use as much K pop to fight against racists. Older generations of Koreans had dealt with police brutality against authoritarian governments in the past and I believe that most Koreans are with the African American communities and their allies. However,…

Kpop stans also crashed a Dallas PD snitching app as well so clearly we know where they stand.
