I was nasty. And I’m ashamed of it.

What does you being from Oakland have to do with anything? You’re a white person living in a majority white city. That doesn’t make you an expert or give you insight to the struggles of black people living in that city when rest of the nation’s policies, agencies, and media is geared on white people and white people’s…

I blame our schools, both public and private, which are known worldwide for cultivating defensive and condescending white nastiness.

The commenter is clearly being a massive asshole, it is very obvious. I wouldn't have been so polite.

You were far too generous in your responses to Ladyology’s woefully condescending and tellingly defensive comments. Really.

I can. Did you see the overwhelming support for Zimmerman? Nothing about this surprises me at all. And as I said before, I am throwing in my bet now, in the wheel of fucked up fortune to say he won’t be convicted.

“it’s just that it’s indicative of racist desensitization if people aren’t just as upset and outspoken over racist violence.”

And to add this bullshit about “Don’t be rude” and similar comments are people just telling you to calm down. Because our anger about this BS is not justified, not like their anger about Cecil. Not like their anger about feeling like they’ve been called racist or that they don’t care about Black people. That anger is…

On one hand, it implies that the lives of livestock are worth the same as, or possibly more than, human beings held in slavery. On the other hand, it dehumanizes human beings held in slavery (both historically, i.e. Black people enslaved in the US, and those who are still in slavery today all over the world) by…

What a friend posted on Facebook:

Ha - I’ve been there (not in English), don’t worry, it’s a charming error :)

Interesting that you read that as them failing to make cats extinct; I read it as they’re one of the mistakes that are leading to more animal extinction.

All those ferals came from normal cats at some point. Dumping off animals in the bush is apparently a pretty common practice for getting rid of pets you no longer want to care for there... worse so than in the US. Not to mention there are no laws about getting your pets spayed/neutered either.

Good job at playing at people’s emotions with your clickbait headline. But if you actually looked at the article you linked to you would see that the so called “cat cull” is only targeted at the feral cats that are causing havoc.

For a few frightening seconds there, I was almost agreeing with Camille Paglia (the horror!). Bill Clinton is a serial harasser. Liberals did fail his victims. Monica Lewinsky did deserve better.

Absolutely, for many of these statistics as I understand it jails and police forces are under no obligation to disclose figures. Which just seems insane to me but that’s the way it is.

I’m guessing that if they did an in-depth study into this, similar to recent dives into police killings we will find that the number is…

THANK YOU for talking about this!

I’ve been seeing it all over Twitter for the past few days. There was a push yesterday to get the topic trending and looks like they succeeded. Honestly the first place I see all these stories now is on Twitter. The media doesn’t catch up to them until the blogs do and they just got here.

You are not derailing; all of these cases need to be known;
