I suppose the headline is technically correct, but is the headline the most accurate depiction of what was actually happening in that video?

So you’re so offended by the word that you’ll gladly accept a video of someone saying it and broadcast it to the whole world, in order to ruin his life. Why would you broadcast such a hurtful word?

everyone knows D2 is the goat, the original might as well be a prequel

“knew what they were doing.... singing along to a song they enjoy*” fixed it for you. and yes they tried to hide it cuz they knew they’d get dragged for no reason and wanted to prevent it.

lol you want to ruin their lives cuz they had the audacity to sing along to some rap lyrics? you’re a fucking psychopath, get the fuck off the internet.

Hahaha.

That’s because what she did doesn’t actually hurt anyone, but her. Unless you are implying the tyranny of being black in America is white teens buying your music and singing along to it.

Jesus christ, you’re really going for it with this post. This is incredible. You make it sound in the headline like they’re just chanting it for no reason, because you know “singing along to a song” makes it sound much less bad. Then, when we’re primed to feel bad, you post the sad, desperate text messages of some…

Right! Like how soft do you have to be in order to be offended by this?

This is “hating on black people?” They’re just singing along to a song.

This isn’t really hating on black people at all. It’s a group of girls having fun singing along to a popular song.

I’m not sure my comment came across in the tone I was hoping for. I totally agree with you. The police had an truck loads (literally) of resources at their disposal. Resources meant to prevent unnecessary escalation — if only the officers were able to do the same. In mentioning that she had a knife, I didn’t intend to…

as you typed this, somewhere in the bronx a man roused from his slumber to whisper, softly: “yeah jeets”

But Johnny Football has been making the media rounds and taking responsibility for his past mistakes. Maybe when Kaepernick does the same and publicly says that he’s fine with police brutality and systemic racism then NFL teams might start to pay attention again.

Is this your first time seeing a basketball highlight? Do you not understand what an amazing pass that was?

You can take whatever team you want from whatever era and put them on the court. Points are getting scored. It’s not the (more athletic, on the whole) players. It’s not the coaches. It’s the offensive talent of the average player and advanced understanding of efficient scoring. Get with it, git fukt, whatever.

When? Before offenses figured out how to adapt to rule changes and/or when expansion teams diluted the offensive talent, producing some of the worst mini-eras of basketball the league has seen? The NBA has usually been an offensively dominated league.

I don’t think that the boxer vs child example works because her lack of followers/power has nothing to do with him. On the internet, they’re just two boxers. Lots of nobodies have pretty considerable followings because the internet gives everyone who wants to create content access to attracting people to follow them.…

I dunno, social media is something I may never get. If someone writes an online article or Tweets at you criticizing your work aren’t they doing the same thing-informing your boss and the world of their low opinion and hoping the internet will pile on and bother you? It’s not like they sent him a handwritten letter…

Uh... yeah. No one was arguing that the NRA doesn’t fight any and all gun laws and seek to get them overturned.
