After quietly observing a BFF’s relationship with her boo, I realized that I cannot date a person whose head is purposely buried in the sand, when it comes to race relations.

“But a black man walking towards you is scary?”
If police want to pretend to be soldiers, why not adopt the good old-fashioned military tradition of sending anyone who uses the “feared for my life” excuse to prison for cowardice?
Now, I guess all that’s left to do is watch this story fade from the news cycle and to see how long it will take a grand jury to give Officer Friendly a pass for shooting a man with his pants down to his ankles in a “justified shoot”
They’ll find the grimmiest, most unflattering photo of you and bring up that you have been pulled over for several minor driving incidences, and how you may have even smoked that marijuana at point.
We always forget that God gave us free will, and we were all too lazy to not make ourselves black. The white babies pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and purged that blackness like real, hard working Americans.
Then perhaps you’re not right for the job if that causes you to have an itchy trigger finger. I can’t help to think of the white guy who was cut down in a swatting incident. Dude opened his door and got shot. Even if it’s accidental I feel like that once death is too many and the officer should be moved to a desk a…
Why didn’t he just comply? Maybe because even those who call the cops occasionally get killed by them? Sometimes those who were merely witnesses get arrested?
You’re nicer than I am. The people who say “well he should have just complied” can just shut the entire fuck up. I’m tired of their idiotic excuses as to why these cops just had to murder this man.
It’s the very same people who say ‘why didn’t he just comply’ that are the first to say the ‘cops feared for their lives.’
I will never not be amazed at white people’s ability to other every single terrorist that comes from their midst.
I think a healthy, mature man understands that he is not God — not merely of less-than-infinite power, but also that his wishes and wants are not in and of themselves Good Things That Totally Deserve To Happen. A mature man gets that other people matter too, roughly as much as he does, and he is willing to defer to…
It’s too bad the police force doesn’t issue flashlights.
“So...a cop can be held accountable for shooting someone in Minnesota...what a time to be alive...oh, wait”—Philandro Castille
Ah, just as we expected: an illegal Mexican Black identity video gamer.
Keep in mind that the police were only supposed to be looking for someone who, at worst, was committing property crimes. Yet they managed to escalate that into the taking of an innocent man’s life. Having your car broken into sucks, but nothing like being dead forever. If I owned one of the damaged cars and heard that…
It may need to be ended.
This has always been the narrative. Since the 60's, this government has sought to make POC’s the enemy of the state through the Southern Strategy. The scary black and brown people are the source of all crime and the woe of the law abiding American. It’s all 2nd amendment until POC’s began arming themselves (See…
Do you consider all criticism “bitching” or only when black women do it? And who are “certain black women”?
Negro, please. Your syntax literally screams your bias and - assuming you’re not a troll who just showed up to show out - you appear completely unaware your own loud mouth is giving your game away.
