“I can’t apologize because I’m incapable of expressing personal responsibility. Also, I’ve hurt so many people, who even knows whether I did this? What do you want from me?”

It’s the perfect rich youngish white guy apology - it’s an apology, yes, but it’s 100% focused on the person doing the apologizing. 

The guys is an asshole, no way around it. He thinks of himself as a “troubled artist”, and sure he has had trauma in his life, but as someone who has had a troubled childhood, with abuse, both physical and sexual, bullying and anger issues, all while living the political violence and unstability in Colombia, when I…

“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I…

Turning the other cheek only encourages these racist motherfuckers to continue being racist motherfuckers.

I feel bad for the mom, she reproduced with someone who doesn’t deserve the touch of a woman.  

Right? And the worst part is that he’s married to a grown-ass woman who’d been through all that shit before, and had already talked to her daughter about methods for dealing with periods and decided that tampons were the route to go.

Shit, with all the criminality that’s been going on in the Trump (mal)administration, we’re gonna kinda need a (good) cop or two (or more) to go through all that morass.

My worries about Ms Harris’s past (political, only!) actually have encouraged me to think that she may be able to push a far more progressive program that would otherwise be possible. President Obama, infuriatingly, rarely did anything but seek a compromise, which would have been admirable except that he was dealing…

Are you trying to say we have diversity of thought in black culture? But..but...Biden...said..

And specifically black people that voted on Super Tuesday in southern states, because those were Biden’s first primary wins out of the 3 times he’s run for president.

You mean southern Black people. Some of us voted against him in the primary even though they called the damn primary before we cast a single vote.

He means diversity in opinion about the most important issues of the day. While most African Americans would probably say institutional racism and police brutality are key issues, you don’t have the same solidarity with Latinos. Central Americans might be more concerned about refugees, while Mexican Americans more…

I have to assume he meant that in presidential elections, african americans are much more predictable as a dem voting block. He’s Joe Biden though, so any time he mentions black people he will fuck it up badly. Statistically *if* that’s what he meant he’s not wrong he just CANNOT not fuck up talking about POC.

The worst thing is that I know what he means, but he says everything in the worst way possible that makes him sound so bad. He needs to make his VP choice and shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I really feel like I need to watch more Biden interviews, because I really hope he calls everybody “man.” (I’ll even settle for him calling white interviewers “dude” and “bro”; at least those are equally colloquial and “man” is arguably an upgrade.) But even with that context, this would be cringeworthy stuff.

Same guy who starts dropping “man” and “aint” when he’s addressing black people. Who would’ve guessed.

Defund the NYPD? I’m already at Dismantle the NYPD. You can’t reform that.

Well if they won't even attempt to try the case it seems like it's time to vote new DAs in.

“We can’t be afraid to do what we do. We can’t walk away,” Monahan said at a gathering of top NYPD cops, according to a report from NY Daily News. “We’ve got every D.A. come out and say they’re not going to charge that.”
