If we have laws in place to deal with things like SWATing, why can’t those laws apply to the deployment of any enforcement resources that are fraudulently summoned?

My father recently told me a story about a family member who had to feel the South because he nearly was lynched for beating up a white sharecropper.

Latinx isn’t a race, it’s an ethnicity. Emma is white or white-passing. Amara la Negra is clearly Black. America Ferrara is neither Black nor white. All three are Latina. It is common for attention/awards/whatever to be given to white Latinos and pointed to as evidence of inclusiveness, while anyone who points out…

My grade school was hella racist and DEFINITELY punished black kids way more often than anyone else. I remember we had mandatory quiet time where we had to put our heads under a jacket with the lights off for 20 minutes. Without fail when the teacher softly asked us to all raise our heads, she would immediately yell…

Damn PJ. I see you.

First of all, well said about Howard. IIRC, it’s the second largest HBCU by enrollment after Florida A&M, and has a deep academic reputation and pedigree that few other institutions, PWI and HBCU, can match. There’s a reason there’s a long tradition of ties between Howard and the Ivies that started long before…

Now hear me out. This gets kind of complicated.

If violence against women were considered and treated as the crime it actually is, many jails would be even fuller.

Full disclosure—my husband is a cop. Almost 25 years in law enforcement. And I agree, the cops’ past should be thoroughly examined, starting with their background checks. Were they hired despite the concerns of the person who conducted the investigation? How did they do in field training? Did they require multiple…

Are Detroit water rates significantly higher than other cities? Are all the people on the list verified as low/no income. If you’ve got some poor family who can’t afford their water, I’m sympathetic and we should work to prevent that. If you’ve got a landlord who’s ignoring the bills, you should be going after them…

Sometimes you get to a point in a job when you say

Oh forget this Jakoury McQueen guy.

My mind is blown that you interpret this trauma as a result of being sheltered. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

What’s worse is Isaac isn’t begging. He’s trying to get a court to force her!

Conservatives love the contrarian- the black guy that hates affirmative action, the gay guy opposed to equal rights, etc. It allows them to justify their abhorrent stance on most things. It’s a policy version of “I have a black friend”

As a general rule I find right wing people of color to be extremely mediocre at best when it comes to talent and intellect. There are so few people of color on the right wing side that any imbecile willing to speak for them can get backing and a platform. This explains Dsouza, Carson, Star Parker, Jesse L Peterson…

Tribal warfare is not racism. Now I dont believe you’re black.

Why? Why don’t we just... You know, call it what it is?

he’s just mad because she has a book club and his dumb ass can’t read.

You know what? Fuck ‘em. They will not ruin this movie for me. None of their faux outrage, or racist memes, or cries of “why you so racist”, or rivers of white tears, or failure to realize that movies with a 90%+ white cast is the norm will impact my feelings on this movie. I let them ruin 8 years of our first non…
