I am skeptical that systemic racism explains the problems of the women described in this article; I think their piles of traffic violations indicate that they are probably unsafe drivers who have no business behind the wheel.

The problem is an unequal punishment based on income. My husband got a dui (it was shrooms) reduced to a $200 traffic ticket. Nothing on his record, no suspended license, nothing because we had $5000 for a lawyer. That isn’t fair. And these women going to jail for running red lights while other people write a check…

The majority of the cases quoted in this article specifically mention traffic misdemeanors — things like having lapsed insurance, not having a seatbelt buckled, or negligible speeding — not the DUIs you’re bringing up.

I see you have chosen to ignore the systemic racist fuckery that is the justice system in majority of our nation. Keep doing you, it’s really working; perhaps you benefit from the profits - monetary and otherwise.

But if you can write a check that clears, suddenly you’re a good driver and no longer a menace on the roads?

Hey, North Carolina GOP: if Clarence Thomas thinks you are racist motherfuckers, you are definitely, indubitably, 100 percent racist motherfuckers.

This is what white people do, everyday in large and small ways to PoC. They antagonize and antagonize and antagonize you, it gives them a sense of false worth to feel better than. It’s their whole persona, being “better than”. “I may be poor, but at least I ain’t a nigger!” White people are fully aware of the…

I would rather a million children with disabilities get games that they can play than see another mini-NES or Amiibo come off the assembly line for whiny man-babies and scalpers.

These sorts of disparities are built into the very framework of the Euro-America. In the Virginia Colony, whenever freedmen and white labourers revolted together, black freedmen were sentenced to lifelong servitude whilst their white counterparts were sentenced to limited prison terms. These disparities eventually…

I ask this to fellow white people every time an unarmed black man (or CHILD) is killed by police officers. Are you afraid yet?

No. The free market can not work if one party has too much power. When you have cancer they literally have your life in their hands. We need regulation to level the playing field. Imagine if you had to pay for the fire department. What happens if your house is on fire and you missed your payments? Or maybe you…

Even then, there are some that would be like, “just because he was lynched and is black, doesn’t mean he was lynched because he’s black. I don’t even see color so I didn’t realize it was a black man until you pointed it out”

Is this not the typical white guy reaction though? In general white people cant accept that racism is real until they see somebody hang a black person with their own eyes.

The GOP, where life begins at conception and ends at birth.

There is no difference between healthcare and health insurance in this country. In order to have access to healthcare, you must have health insurance. You, as an individual, do not have the leverage to negotiate with the oligopoly of healthcare in this country. Unfortunately we use private companies to collectivize…

Consider the inconsistency though. On one side they are trying to PREVENT access to abortion with the whole defunding of Planned Parenthood etc, under the guise of pro-life nonsense. And on the other they are preventing those very same kids from getting medical care dooming them to an early grave.

Why did health care cost so much less as a percentage of people’s income in the past as it does today?

“But Jefferson is the one I want to travel back in time to punch. Just when I think I can’t hate him any more, I find out some new horrible fact about what a blinkered, hypocritical toad he was.”
