I so hate that she had to go through this. Why. Is. It. So. Hard.
It’s amazing. I was accused of being an MRA for simply stating that economic issues ARE womens issues and that white feminists are dismissive of the issues us non white women are facing daily.
The detectives intentionally ignored so much exculpatory evidence, like the lividity? You’re so right about them just wanting to close cases. What really struck me when listening to Undisclosed was that both detectives on this case, and in fact almost all the detectives who had anything to do with the case, had been…
After listening to the Undisclosed podcast, I am much less convinced that he’s guilty. I mean he still could be for all I know, but the prosecutors and detectives did so many shady things that weren’t even revealed in Serial. It is easy to see that they weren’t after the truth, they were after a closed case.
I totally had to Google this one, though. I’m just repeating what the internets tell me, so I really can’t take any credit.
You are one of my favorites. There’s a lot of this type of information I am unaware of as well and you are always succinct and polite in your responses. (Also you are a wizard hat and I have mad respect for that. I imagine you as a Carmen SanDiego/Merlin mix.)
Person1: “I hate black people.”
Person2: “But why are you racist tho?”
Person1: “RACIST?!??? WHY DO YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL THE RACE CARD?!!?? STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE!!&!@!!”
Michigan apparently has a form of indeterminate sentencing where the legislature sets a maximum sentence and a judge sets a minimum sentence. When the convicted person reaches the minimum sentence he’s allowed to go in front of a parole board to ask for release on parole, but must serve at least the minimum.
Agreed. To a frighteningly large proportion of Americans, racism means calling attention to the fact that people are treated differently according to their race.
FTR my theory is that his armpits chafe.
And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.
More snow then, please
I had a wonderful PI. He was just GREAT, very supportive, etc, but he was old and had ideas, however ingrained, about how men and women were to act. So while he supported countless women in his lab, I would be talked to for being “tactless” in during debates and conversations. I wasn’t tactless, there just wasn’t a…
Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.
Sad but true. Essentially any place where men are the dominant power forces have hidden sexual abuse and harassment scandals because men get away with it. No male-dominated industry has escaped it.
No, I think she’s onto something here. The NAACP is clearly a racist organization that needs to be disbanded or countered with a national association for the advancement of white people. We as a people have been under represented in society for too long and our plight needs national attention.
every month is white history month
Oh, Stacey.
