Hi. I’m black. “Homey” is how I feel like spellin it, so suck a salt shaker.

Dude literally no one except you thought it was racist. Sorry if your 1st thought seeing mugshots is “OF COURSE black guys did, everyone is racist” that’s on you. The rest of us viewed it as “Here’s the mugshots of the people arrested for murder.”

Like, do these kinds of comments get you off or something? Bc I honestly don’t “get” why you think this approach would be fun or funny.......?

“there guilty” ....? So you are just this fucking stupid....

To the extent you’re just trolling, um, mission accomplished I guess.

But it wasn’t two racist white men. It was the two men pictured above. Why is the denial of black on black crime so prevalent? 67 people were shot in Chicago this weekend. Let’s deal with the problem and not just turn a blind eye. That is what Wade is asking for. Don’t be an ass.

Statistically, that’s just not true. About 71 percent of the perpetrators of murder in Chicago are black (as are about 75 percent of the victims). White offenders (whether they are racists or just plain criminals) cause about 3.5 percent of the city’s homicides.

I think the thing that was not ok was these two guys shooting a woman.

This is a rare one but with comments like this I can understand how the loony-right is able to bend the definition of racist to fit liberals who see race when others don’t. It confirms stereotypes that two black men were arrested for a murder, so their picture shouldn’t be shown? What the hell is wrong with you?

So you are saying that photos of actual black people conjure up racial imagery and stereo types? I’m sorry you think so little of how black people look.

how does a mug shot confirm racist stereotypes? That’s an amazing jump in logic

What stereo types does it confirm. The stereo type that these two guys are dumb and killed an innocent person?

Homey on the left does not look like he’s playing with a full deck of cards.

Move to the right, and stop trying to justify your flaccid, passive-aggressive need to be the unofficial traffic cop who clogs up the left lane in a pathetic attempt to force others to abide by your interpretation of the rules of the road.

That’s the biggest difference I see between Millenials and Gen Xers. Millenials see that someone wrote Trump’s name on the sidewalk and have a panic attack over it while running to their safe space. Gen Xers would just grab another piece of chalk and write, “Sucks/Sux” underneath Trump’s name and go on their day.

SO I have another example from this very class that illustrates this perfectly. I can’t remember how we got into this discussion but the response by the student stays with me to this day.

Reminds me of a kid in my AP English class who didn’t want to read “House of the Spirits” because... penis something? I don’t even remember. He got his dad and pastor involved and they tried to get the book banned. (Luckily they failed.) Meanwhile, as soon as the kid told the teacher he wouldn’t read the book because…

Oh my god. Honestly I’m pretty glad I graduated college before Tumblr was a thing...

Man, that sucks that you had to drop the film. I haven’t had anything that extreme, it’s mostly either lazy kids who think they’ll get an easier assignment or the type of student who doesn’t want anyone to ready anything they don’t like. My student in the example above wanted to petition the school to ban The Sandman…

I have had this happen to me as well. I can’t say that this is always how it works but it was clear to me that the student who pulled this on me just simply didn’t want to have to deal with the film I was showing. I say this because the week before I showed a film where she was amongst the students who complained that…

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…
