So, the guy offended the wife by urinating in public, so she and her husband murdered him?

Good job grown ups.

Sweet. Hate note truther. What difference does it make? If there’s even a chance this is happening, shouldn’t they let her out of her lease? I’m sure the property management company won’t go under if they don’t get her 2 months rent to buy out the lease. Why is it so hard for people to just do the right thing?

Black people actually were slaves. But white people actually were slaves too. Lots of Asian people are slaves right now. In fact, I’m pretty sure at one point in time or another, pretty much every sort of person in every sort of place has been enslaved. Or is this just too far-out for people to get? I sometimes think…

Right? It feels weird giving Alabama an atta boy about...anything.

Charter schools. Charter schools are fucking poison.

Honestly I’m struggling with how I’m going to deal with being black for the rest of my life. I’m just starting to fully grasp the extent of white supremacy in this country, how loud and violent it can be (extrajudicial murders by the police, neo-nazis making a comeback, internet users making it clear that they…

Umm.. I feel like this headline is just a little misleading, Stephen? When I read “his heart,” I thought Hernandez was confirming the rumors that have been swirling about him having a prison boo.

Make America Deplane Again.

Curious how the first place they go in their mind is to the word “lynched,” huh?

It’s Mississippi, and it’s the USA. He will never, ever fauxpologize or pretend to backtrack. He will stand by these words proudly, as he knows there are no consequences and, indeed, white supremacy applauds him and will re-elect him.

This has nothing to do with history. These cretins make that distortion intentionally, to try and appeal to an ideal far better than themselves or their vile ideology. Most of these monuments have very little historical value in and of themselves. They were put up by Lost Causer and neo-Confederate groups as part of…

go back to stormfront you racist ghoul. you mock this child’s death with your heartless shit.

I’m not trying to “force your hand.” I am doing what is in my power to do: Post on comments. That is the only way to get our message out. 

A real travesty would be doing an article AFTER this passes.... “LA voters reduced LAPD accountability and gave officers power to select own discipline.”

I’m really sad that you would call this “spam” since it directly affects our community and we—unlike the Police Protective League—do not have almost a million dollars to spend on mailers to get the word out.

This is a small victory for police accountability, but the LAPD officer’s union is about to score a huge victory AGAINST accountability on the May 16th election—so please get out and VOTE NO on Charter Amendment C!!

Michael -thank you for an in-depth look at the system profiting off of Black people and other POC. Nothing to add except that I appreciate this kind of journalism that shines a light on the outright oppression we tend to ignore.

“which he paid for with his own money and delivered on his own”. Wouldn’t it be nice, if instead of spending 50 billion on a useless wall, or 50 billion on unnecessary military spending, or 900 billion on tax cuts for the rich, if our police, firemen, social workers and teachers had special monetary accounts available…
