If you want to talk about context, then you need to re-read the article. I’m not comparing Mosley’s work to Baldwin’s, but I am comparing the context in which the word nigger was used. It was an indirect usage of the word, not a direct usage of the word. You and the person who complained to HR need to dial back your…

Deescalation is for white people. The rest of us get authoritarianism. 

He still doesn’t get it. White people always have an excuse for why they aren’t racist. That’s the problem. Most white folks are exactly like him in that they don’t know (or acknowledge) that they may be racist.

Putting a pride sticker on your car is one thing; it at least shows there are people against that form of bigotry. Pretending to be a doctor or nurse and winging it with other people’s sick children is extreme.

Bullshit we are not in the dark ages, even places in this country where physicians are sparse are still bound by legal and ethical codes of conduct. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, helping one child who likely would have survived anyway given the glaring evidence of her ineptitude and lack of knowledge…

White privilege isn’t about being wealthy.

Imagine how racist you have to be for even Philly cops to say that is too racist.

At 17, I was 240 and felt fat...fast forward to:

Right! So they’re leaving their house at 3:30 AM. I had a gig in the OC, and my black ass was up five days a week at 5 AM, 4 AM if I wanted to hit yoga before work. How early do you think Marjorie gets up to spend his money?

My guess is while he paid $74,000 in official bail, he probably turned most or all of the contents of one of his Anguilla tax-evasion accounts over to certain people who signed off on his release.

So she was killed by medical professionals not taking her complaints seriously and doing proper testing to find her condition, not a fight. AVM is something that can be diagnosed by medical imaging and often can be treated. It wasn’t necessarily “a matter of time.” My heart goes out to the family, I can’t even…

Doing internal investigations on stuff like this must be the world’s easiest job. You read the reports, then if you get bored you go talk to someone other than the officer involved for ten minutes so they “feel heard,” you take a couple hours to draft a statement explaining how it is actually the victim’s fault, spend…

Harford, baby, y’all need a need a new NAACP chapter.

Hello, former IP litigator here. People keep thinking that a trademark registration is the same thing as owning words or designs, and that just isn’t the case.

I find that completely disrespectful. I’m not buying this take at all.

He made a rhetorical point not a threat.

Fucking Green Book. No, white co-workers, I haven’t seen it and I won’t be seeing it because I’m sick of movies about how the Struggle transforms a white protagonist.

The amount of tone deafness in those tweets is astounding even for a college educated white woman. Full disclosure, member of Omega Psi Phi, mother and most of the women and men in my family are AKA’s or Ques, I have had many white people tell me that they know our greek letter organizations better than white ones.…

Can we stop using words like “controversial” to describe racist pedophiles?

Moonlight actually beat La La Land so I’m hoping for the same thing
