I dunno.

Criming while white is also good to keep in mind when racists tout crime statistics about how much blacks break the law. It's easy for that to happen when that's one of the few groups that is arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law in every single instance.

This is great perspective. Another problem with this is the - need? desire? choice? not sure of the right word to use here - to use white voices to legitimize the issue of racism. Why do people need white folks to tell them this shit is real when black folks have been saying it forever?? It's like when someone…

Was anyone legitimately surprised to learn that white people are able to get away with damn near anything by the police?

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

Yeah, I roll my eyes at people who think long marriages = good marriages.

Very much that, plus, it presumably means fewer people marrying due to pregnancy.

or even just the ability to choose to not have more than x number of kids.

Yup, I think that the higher divorce rate is actually a good thing. I'm 25, so my grandparents are starting to really get up there in age, and they're starting to lose the ability/desire to hold in things they've been internalizing for decades. There is seriously nothing sadder than looking at both of them and…

IDK, I mean, I'm not a woman but if I were just riding the subway by myself and some guy physically assaulted me because he found me attractive, I'd be flattered. I dunno why women gotta make such a big deal about a guy thinking they're pretty and then violently attacking them for it. It's a compliment, ladies!

Look at you, sticking up for accused rapists! Bless your heart.

he's 18. He's more than old enough not to be a sick fuck. Did you hear his phone conversation*** on the original post? We've got a little sociopath in the making.

In fairness: the investigation was underway when I started writing the story, and all the victims and their families spoke warmly of Detective Collett, the officer assigned to their case. They were really unhappy with Norman High School administrators, though, who they believed didn't do enough to put a stop to the…

Good. Fuck him and his Bieber hair.

I can't decide whether to laugh or be horrified.

WOW, the fact that they would accommodate drivers who lost licenses because of DUIs but not pregnant women is disgusting. When I sold cars being able to drive and being able to be insured was an integral part of the job, and it was made very, very clear to me that a DUI meant automatic firing. But a UPS driver who was…

Come on now. Pregnancy is your own fault. You don't deserve special accommodations for something you choose to do, as opposed to something outside your control like losing your license due to repeat DUIs.

"Unfortunately there are reasons why people don't take victims seriously and Janice displays them all."

IS she a terrible person? Has she stolen, robbed, assaulted people?

"Attention-seeking" seems to me to be applied to people who are really seeking......comfort. Reassurance. Solace. Aid. But when it's women doing it, it just gets changed to.....something vaguely sleazy.
