So, murdering a child not even two seconds after you roll up on him is a-okay but lying about shit is a fireable offense.

I’ve not heard that one. I have to admit it’s been awhile since I’ve listened to This American Life with the last time being their two parter on police/community relations.

No, the point here is there are far too many schools and other institutions that are quite free with their tendency to police the hair of Black girls and women.

That’s kind of hard to do when the school drags out their Black and biracial students for hair inspections whilst leaving the white girls with their straight extensions alone.

It is interesting that these stories popping up all seem to have the same thing in common, a girl is wearing her hair naturally for some time then suddenly, near the end of the year, it’s a problem. Wear an afro for 7 goddamn months and NOW it’s a problem?

it’s such a shit ass cowardly DC thing.

The purpose of those statues is not to remind us not to do that again but to revere the people being depicted in the statues. They need to come down. This is ridiculous, if you want civil war monuments up how about one for the Buffalo Soldiers rather for these racist ass slavers and traitors.

Given their tendency to jack up the fares willy nilly and the fact that a monthly metro-card costs more than your 4 weekly commutes to work for the month, perhaps they should find more useful ways of spending money they collect rather than spending it on this idiotic bullshit.

Which Democrats voted this piece of shit again? Because every single one of them needs to be primaried.

Or the Department of Just Us

It’s like they wanted to prime the pipe for protests so they can have an excuse to inflict more violence.

I think your friend, who likes to tell the story about how he single-handedly sved this neighborhood is full of shit. THe story he’s telling sounds more like the tale of gentrification and frankly constantly telling that story is the type of shit that people are displeased with.

Moreover, I don’t require POC’s guidance on how to be a good person nor do I try to make myself the center of anti-racism efforts to prove my comparative wokeness.

Yes he did.

You didn’t need hindsight to know that giving the crew practically unlimited authority was going to go wrong, people were saying so even when it happened. At least I was.

Apparently yes. Because these people get boners hating on Bernie.

Well, it’s shitty fiction and the real life problems surrounding its creator tends to leak into the show.

If you are so easily led as to think that just because something is legal it is a right thing to do then it certainly explains why you would think that the way this airline behaved is remotely acceptable.

Well, they didn’t have any grounds to kick him off in the first place other than their own shitty policy of deliberately selling more seats than they actually have in the first place. (Which in any other industry would be considered fraud)

Someone needs to tell United Airlines to stop digging.
