Justine Sacco saved his ass. Because of her, this didn't garner as much attention as it would've had people not been monitoring her.

I love the belief from these people that you can "not agree" with who someone is as a person. Racists should try that too. "I'm not racist, I just don't agree with your being black."

PAWWWWLLLLL

Ahh

When did this movie become Citizen Kane? I feel like it's been everywhere this month (my Facebook newsfeed in-particular) and I don't recall it being this popular before.

I think it's due to the fact that the fight for recognition of black humanity is now a centuries old battle in the US. The latino population and the issues that arise from that is relatively new by comparison. As the latino foothold in the United States continues to grow, so will discussions about their recognition.

And your assumption that if it's solely about talent, black women won't be represented in high numbers, is racist.

There are more males than females in the United States so since you're a supporter of population percentage based representation on television, surely you support cutting back on the amount of males of TV....right?

That is perhaps the starkest and most damning takeaway from DeRogatis' investigation and the national media's response to it.

Your tendency is to attack women who do not get cowed by your accusations of racism and false rape accusations.

I've pointed out in the past (as have many commenters of color, even ones that hate Chris Brown) that this site has gone after Chris Brown very hard while glossing over allegations against say, Matthew Fox and Michael Fassbender. That still does not equal "bashing women," unless you think that the women of color who…

Evidence, read all the Winston articles. Is it possible he is guilty? Yes, that is within the realm of possibility. Are the more actual rapes than false accusations? Yes. Now, figure out some more strawmen to discount my argument.

And I have made it clear time and again that my concerns aren't JUST with this case but with the overall attitude of "He was accused, that's all the evidence we need, guilty!" That attitude has negative consequences not just for Winston, but for a specific group of people that have been historically discriminated…

What did I say that slut shamed the victim? You sound like a teenager that just learned a new word. I never said anything about the victim or her sexual behavior. Do you know what slut shaming is?

You're an admitted racist whose presence in these threads SHOULD be giving Jezzies pause about who exactly their stance on this case is putting them in bed with, like I'm trying to tell them.

I've said nothing about the victim's claims, my problem has continuously been with the assumption of guilt in a, as YOU described, he said/she said case. In your own words this is not a Stubenville-like, cut and dry case. As such, people need to be careful making such definitive judgements because historically, such…

Reporting on his every move with the added notation that he was once accused of rape is as close to a declaration of guilt as one can get legally without being at risk for a civil suit. Which is why that tactic is being used.

No, he's right, your argument that black men were ever more privileged than white women in the south when it came to this situation is completely absurd.

The murkiness of this case is why I'm arguing that definitively declaring his guilty is problematic, particularly in light of the history of African American and false allegations. That is a truth that YOU must acknowledge.
