You’re so correct!! I’ve seen so many post saying, “All the years ahead now lost where he could’ve done good things, reformed or contributed more!”

His own lawyer told a judge that X confessed to beating his former girlfriend over more than 200 calls on the prison phone

No, he is dead. People are just expressing their incredulity that people are mourning him like they would an actual good person. As someone wiser than I am said on facebook “nobody deserves to die, but not everyone deserves to be mourned.”

This is a dumb and bad take. It’s ok when bad shit happens to bad people. You also don’t have to respect someone when they die if they were a bad person. Death doesn’t suddenly absolve people from the bad shit they’ve done.

Dear XXX...Whatever’s Manager,

To the people saying “who?” Firstly, it says who he was in the damn article. Secondly, if you have any interest in contemporary hip-hop, you know who he was whether or not you actively listened to his music. Lots of people who read the Root have some interest in hip-hop, so it’s not unreasonable to expect a good…

You think sexual assault and domestic violence are as bad thinking a really negative thought but not acting on it?

you wishing death on someone cause he did something fucked up makes you just as worthless

You:

A dead rapist

Bro, he tortured, poisoned, and mutilated that girl. Oven cleaner is a base chemical. When it makes contact with skin it burns and causes necrosis. It’s like being bitten by a funnel Web spider. Dude could have spent the rest of his life building houses for orphans and he still would have had this coming.

Go fuck yourself.

I mean, I don’t celebrate when bad people come to harm, but likewise, I don’t protest when bad people reap what they sow. And let’s face it, this is the sort of guy who was always gonna have a bad ending.

If it comes to light that she was the one who emptied the clip into him. I am first in line to donate to her defense fund. #sorrynotsorry

“As long as everybody’s really consenting, and really consenting is defined as not coerced in any way, aware of what they’re agreeing to—like, there’s some complexity to that.”

And even, just for the sake of argument, say that white people did build those streets. THIS GUY wasn’t one of them. I don’t get to introduce myself as two time MVP because Steve Nash won the award. The idea that accomplishments of others are transferable because of white skin blows my damn mind. Additionally, if we…

As a fellow woman (I think you said previously that was how you ID), too well you know how bad sexism is as it’s inflicted on clients and patients by practitioners in the medical profession. When POC talk about #EverydayRacism, understand that this is exactly what we’re talking about.

Maybe you get the same results but statistically women, minorities and LGBT mental patients are treated even worse than straight, white, male mental patients. So either you’re getting treated as badly as the worst or you don’t realize how much worse it gets. Either way the disparities exist and ignoring them has never…

Studies have shown similar things for female patients- doctors are more likely to assume women are “just being dramatic” and dismiss their concerns. Not sure why it’s so difficult for some medical professionals to just take a patient’s pain/concerns/symptoms seriously, regardless of race or gender.

I had a psychiatrist who told me, when the meds he put me on made my debilitating anxiety worse, “I want you to go write ‘I am not helpless’ fifty times.” I shit you not. My boyfriend fired him for me. I hated that jackass and he set me back years.
