That describes 99.9% of white politicians, as far as I’m concerned. I didn’t find Hillary any worse than the white male presidents I’ve voted for.

But conversation is the point. If were gonna make real change we have to change peoples minds. Now I’m not trying to make Klansman drop the hood to go protest housing discrimination. But how am I gonna get the white kid who grew up in the suburbs, and never had a black friend, to understand what being black in America…

I don’t think it’s loving to allow people to be hateful in front of you. I don’t think it’s loving to look the other way in the face of injustice. I don’t think it’s loving to allow people to be dehumanized. I don’t think it’s loving to be nice when what’s called for is being honest and courageous and making people…

As a black man living in Indiana I’ve been trying to figure out how to strike the balance between loving and active. How do I call out people for their racist/sexist/homophobic/anti-semetic beliefs without shutting down any and all conversation? Because if you’re too aggressive people just get upset and ignore you,…

I believe that love IS the answer ... but not the kind of passive, feel-good, saccharine platitudes and symbolic kind deeds that Van Jones seems to be talking about. The kind of love that we need is challenging and revolutionary and ACTIVE, and it isn’t the same thing as simple niceness.

Zastadul is most likely a troll plucked from the greys. Ignore the fucker.

Who said we don’t give a fuck about campus sexual assault or rape in the military?

The OP said if you don’t want to go to prison, you shouldn’t commit a crime. And that’s not a prerequisite for going to prison.

But for grace....

But it’s not actually part of the sentence. And not everyone in jail “deserves” it.

You can do both, actually!

Now this is the idea of a lunatic. Some people rob for fun. Some people rob because they like the thrill. Some people rob because they want to violate others. Some people rob because it’s illegal.

You do know that everyone who is in prison didn’t commit a crime, right?

She looks less like a cat and more like a Cat.

So very obsessed.

Klein was forced to stuff Wildenstein inside a closet to prevent another rabid attack, sources said.

It is so prevalent (and our prison population is so large) that there have been studies that theorize that there are actually more men than women raped every year in the US

Hell, it’s pretty much a joke. Is your character going to prison? Have him freak out and grab his butt! It’s almost internalized by society as just another part of your punishment when you’re sent to prison. Did you rob someone? 5yrs in a jail with some rape sprinkled in.

This always dogged me as a glaring contradiction. They know prisoners are being sexually assaulted, to such a degree that it is well known throughout our culture, and yet so little is done about it.

No snark at all - thanks for this post. JDI has done fantastic work advocating for reforms, particularly the Prison Rape Elimination Act in 2003.
