LMAO. Holy shit. Sorry, it is funny, but not funny. If your concern was really alligators in the pond, then I know you could have found a better way than this to deter those boys. Jesus. LOL.
“There was nothing innocent about that pond. It had alligators and they were treating it like they were playing ball in the street. “OK, swing! No wait, gator...ok, NOW swing!”
What did you hope to accomplish other than smearing your kid’s white friends and associating their stupid teenage tomfoolery with what happened to Emmet Till? Sharing a “visual”?
So, you ruined a totally innocent activity for a bunch of kids? Nice parenting.
It amazes me.
It’s the little details and connections in lore that make a franchise more interesting. For example, Star Wars and Dark Tower.
Honestly, IM’s Reaper-induced craziness aside, the Pathfinder Initiative seems like th esort of thing Cerberus would be 100% behind: Another place for Humanity to spread and, eventually, dominate. Especially since it seems like so much of the Initiative’s leadership is human.
This professor is an historian of the civil rights movement, activist of social causes, fircely anti-trump, and has been arrested a few times while protesting against racial injustice. He simply is communicating a fact, I bet he too thinks “fuck this horrid woman” but he can’t put it in the book because that wouldn’t…
My god, Tim Tyson is a tireless activist here in NC for Black Lives Matter, for Moral Mondays with Reverend William Barber. He’s on the front lines literally every week. He’s been arrested numerous times while protesting voter suppression and gerrymandering. He’s a fine historian and a man of unwavering principle.
No, your point is over.
You’re still quoting a paraphrase. Yes, those are his words, but it’s a selected part of a larger statement. The author of the vanity fair article took that quote from somewhere. A direct interview? Probably not, as the article doesn’t claim to be an interview with Tyson. A quote from someone else’s interview? A quote…
blame the author of the article here for the paraphrases. Unless you’ve read an advance copy of the book, that is.
I think your anger is going in the wrong direction. The researcher has the responsibility to present his research unvarnished by personal opinions. This is the attitude he gathered in his research, not his personal opinion. This guy has spent his life researching, writing about, and educating people about white…
“When Carolyn herself [later] lost one of her sons, she thought about the grief that Mamie must have felt and grieved all the more.” Let me guess, her son was being falsely accused of harassing a pure white woman and subsequently tortured and murdered? If not, your grief is NOTHING compared to Mamie’s grief and the…
I get that, but I honestly read it more as, “this case went a long way toward ruining her life, the only form of justice she’s faced in this life.” But, I’m an optimist. :-)
Same way all people like that do. Rewrite what happened in their minds so they were the victims, regardless of facts.
Hell is too good for this woman. She knew exactly what would have happened to him upon those accusations.
