It's not really a sketchy area, we definitely have worse parts of town, but about 5 years ago I saw them carting a body out of a motel next to this one, so who knows?

No problem, thanks for the support. I usually leave the trolls and/or genuine racists alone, chalking it up as people not worth my time and energy. But this story hits wayyyy too close to home and I'm sure that applies for many on here.... On a more positive note, have a great day and let the bigots be bigots. My…

Native Burquena here! That part of Albuquerque is pretty sketchy; that motel is right off the interchange between I 40 and I 25, so a highly mobile population down there. Like the above commenter said, not that that is an excuse.

Loving v Virginia was the case that abolished laws againt interracial marriage.

I would encourage you to stop advocating for continued gun ownership.

It appears to be about Loving vs. Virginia. A white man and a black woman who wanted to be married in their home state where it was illegal. It was the case that finally allowed for blacks and whites to legally marry throughout the U.S.

They have a 3 yr old, a 2 yr old and another one almost born and they are living in a motel room. No, I'm not at all surprised they would keep a loaded handgun accessible to children. I imagine their whole world is just one bad decision after another.

Thank you. These guys are my pride and joy. I don't think people understand how bad puppy mill life can be. Oscar came out so terrified of people that he soiled himself if you got too close to him. He wouldn't eat or drink until absolute desperation set in. He shook like a leaf all the time. I was on the verge…

i mean, most damage is done by old white men in power so it just feels arbitrary to take aim at millenials

Its not adorable? But I already had a tee shirt made!

"Pulling the race card" = "making a white person uncomfortable"

"and try to actually figure out a situation before screaming"

If only the waitress had done this...

I like that your kinja name is also what I'd like for you to do.

yeah, they found this drug which is famous for making the person on it susceptible to suggestions & innuendos. and three of the kids were found to be on these drugs while giving the testimony.

Yes, and in doing so they undermined themselves. It was less mic-drop and more monogrammed-thermos.

I understand wanting to be green, but as my uncle would have said, they'll waste more wood on your coffin than they will on that brown paper bag.

You know what's fucked up? Reading this, my first strong reaction was "Kamau, you can't buy something and not get a bag! You know better!!" As a black man, I can't stress how often my parents and older siblings drilled into my head the fact that I could never, ever buy anything without getting a bag and, if possible,…

That the book is obviously about Loving v Virginia-a civil rights case on interracial marriage- is the icing on the cake.

That's a diplomatic way to put it.

gifs aside, here, this is evidence to the 'um it's about class now, not race' people.
