What can she do at six years old that will put her non-white friends, also six, at risk?

Didn’t I pretty much say as much in my original comment? Of course she’s privileged. She’s also too young to understand what that means.

As I said to someone else- Well we live in a smaller city with a highly integrated school and there is absolutely no history of racial violence amongst the police here, so I really don’t see how it benefits her at this time to learn about such ugliness. She will, firstly, panic that her friends will get hurt and,

I’m guessing you don’t have any children. If you did, you’d understand why a parent wouldn’t want to expose a six-year-old to the ugliness of the world.

Great, now he’ll want to nuke Tibet.

It breaks my heart that young people of color in this country have to have The Talk from their parents because it’s just expected that the police will mistreat them. My white six-year-old daughter comes home from school telling me that the police are her friends and they get bad guys and I don’t have the heart to tell

I still have no idea what that means.

Now I’m picturing Prince and Tamron Hall together and that sounds too dangerously sexy to be allowed.

You know, apart from anyone else... and I’m not saying sleeping with a married person is a good thing, but only one person in that affair had taken a marriage vow at the time and only one person broke that vow... and yet the one without the vow is the awful bitch who stole him away?

Again, he’s trying to engineer race riots.

I had multiple people here say that to me yesterday... as if it were somehow all on her for that and he just couldn’t possibly have kept it in his pants because penises have to fly free or something.

I mean you need to relate with them on their level when there’s that many...

When I first told my daughter that joke at age five, she thought the funny part was the animal noise, not the interrupting. So she’d wait for us to say “Who?” and then moo and laugh. And then she started doing different animals. We had to teach her to interrupt us.

Kind of like how my husband (I swear I love him to bits) has zero qualms interrupting me or anyone else, but if someone does it to him, especially at work, he’ll get super upset over it.

Do tell... after you arrest a gigantic number of people at an event like this, and it appears to be far more than any jail could conceivably hold... where do you propose taking them to? Dirty abandoned warehouse? Concentration camp? Just push them off the pier?

What a lazy “comment.”

Instead of making a difference, they want to make it worse. Trump called for nationwide stop-and-frisk yesterday.

Is it all that surprising when you have people trying to engineer race riots to further their own political careers? Trump wants to take stop-and-frisk nationwide.

Are we sure Pat McCrory is biologically the governor? Has anyone taken his clothes off to check?
