A commercial but a relevant one.

Agreed. I read this and got angry. Have been angry in a way that I didn’t know was possible about something that is almost the equivalent of scrolling through reams of data like the Department of Labor estimates for annual wages by profession.

From a Slate article this week

Intent isn’t the only thing that matters. That was the point of the documentary. The overall effect of harm is there regardless of intention. It's why mindfulness matters.

The difference between this probable upcoming situation caused by his actions and previous wars or invasions is that the military is already tapped out. So many years in endless wars and coming home to messed up social systems has made it so that our military will not be able to respond the way they did before and the…

Or some of them want the same level of impunity that white abusers get

Small point, women are not 15. Girls are 15.

Without thinking about it too hard I would have went with the non-Queen Latifah cast members of Living Single

Every Democratic candidate has an imperfect records with varying levels of bad. But only the non-white men are actually being asked to constantly account for it.
