The OP is correct. The police are sicced on Black people in the name of White whims. That has always been, since the days they were slave catchers. This story is an example of entitled White people using the police as their personal muscle. The OP isn’t saying the police are at fault here; but rather pointing out the…

We all see him. I’m trying to find a name for this deflection tactic because it is sooooo common. Do you know it? Case can be 100% irrefutable bullshit and someone is compelled, I mean, POSSESSED by the spirit of White Supremacy to offer a TPS report citing county ordinance 1738, give the connotative definition of…

I somehow missed all of her anti-bigotry speeches, but I do vividly remember the speech she gave in my city where she suggested the Katrina evacuees were better off in the shelter than in their previous lives. You actually believe a woman with access to books, a radio, the news, and political connections had NO IDEA…

Whoa, it’s not that crucial, sir. I’m not planning to conduct a content analysis on your comment history and I’m not even upset. I’m actually having a pretty good (albeit cloudy) day. I hope you are, too. You said something I disagreed with, we had an exchange. No problem.

No. The parade started around your very polite to the point of pandering, “Law enforcement is not perfect, BUT . . .” as if the state-sponsored, national gang of monsters abusing my people and shooting them in the street deserve a cookie for doing what they should be doing every day. They’re not ‘imperfect’ unless you…

Is this a joke? At the time of the “segregated south” that nanny would have been a slave in all but title, and with only a slightly better schedule. If you plan to go all, “Leave Brittney Alone!” over a woman who *you* just said prefers her gays whispering in the shadows, you might also want to think about finding out…

Moral of the story: White people are being bolder in their racism everyday, and that racism is frequently a dangerous invention of their own entitlement.

Um, it unfortunately worked for George Zimmerman. They chase us and kill us all the time and then say they were defending themselves.

I already posted my super serious comment on my ambivalence to this gesture, so now I want us to think bigger. Help me, friend. If we only have two days to solve everything, those need to be the Whitest days of the year. I know Connor and Becky treat Starbucks like Mecca on Black Friday. What other days would the…

I don’t know, friend. I think I’m still hating.

Fair, but understand the concept of the weird cult fanbase predated Beyoncé by decades. Have you heard of a little band called The Beatles? Michael Jackson had people building shrines, Brittney’s fans crashed servers arguing in the AOL days, I’m not sure it’s even appropriate to type some of the incidents attributed…

I believe you. I’m a woman and I know any pairing of men and women can ruin each other’s lives in real and metaphorical ways. However, The Black man/White woman combo is undefeated in the Opportunity For The Man to Jeopardize His Actual Life category.

Valid. But I had time so I took one for the culture just in case some on the fence racist passed through ;)

You don’t need to be sorry (real or facetiously)! The details do matter, and lucky for us, the details are DONE. Remember when I asked you to move on from your hyper focus on the order of operations and linguistics and center on the feelings you have about this treatment?  I wasn’t there, and I’m guessing neither were…

I’m here for this. Agreed. You put your head in the lion’s mouth you can’t be shocked when the teeth scratch your skull. No sympathy at all. No Black man over 16 years old has lived in a world without ample evidence of White women being prepared to bed or dead a Black man’s existence at her whim.

Thanks, I try. But feel free to bust a gun for the cause. Plenty of trolls to address around here.

FOREVER.

“they were the ones who initiated the situation by asking to use the bathroom and refusing to buy something.”

She said a Starbucks employee told the gentlemen that if they didn’t purchase anything, they would have to leave. This is not taking their order or asking them to buy something. It is starting with the premise that they were occupying space illegitimately and she told them they could purchase something to remain in…

This part is the biggest problem for me. Look at the comments saying he’s just a good old fashioned honorable man that, by golly, got caught between a rock and a hard place. GTFOH. He knew what his job title was when he got up that morning. He didn’t send a letter to the editor of the Chicksaw Register. He made a…
