Too many police organizations and individual officers around the nation really are reacting in dishonorable ways to the Ferguson conflict. The right response from a law enforcement officer is "We regret the incident occurred and we offer our sympathies to the family." Nothing more.

A beer called "black lager" marketed with a catchphrase "You'll be a slave to the flavor" WILL evoke black slaves in many minds. Adding a dominatrix to the logo doesn't change this, any more than the owl logo on the "Hooters" t-shirts makes them all about owls instead of boobs. The owner is either…

After "many hours of prayer" Miss Judgy McFashionshame apologized but later removed that apology from view. Her god is a capricious god.

They make a decision to deny services based on their assumption about a customer's genitalia shape compared to somebody else's…

Straight guys who try to excuse street harassment of women by saying "It's only a compliment" should ask themselves how often they compliment a male on how his clothing looks or how he smiles.
