The decision comes as several companies that have profited off of racial stereotypes are dropping their names, amid a nation-wide discussion of racism prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement, including the band Lady Antebellum and a Santa Barbara restaurant named Sambo’s.

Police also do not respond sufficiently to domestic violence calls when they are working. Many women who are in law enforcement experience harassment and sexual assault from fellow cops. Straight down the line and with few exceptions, women do not matter to them, and women of color least of all.

Thank you so much for writing this. I know the first things the police unions are going to say about defunding is “who will protect your women?”

Cops don’t seem to care about violence toward any societal group that isn’t them. That’s why we all need to take our phones with us when we go out, so everybody can see what they’re doing to us.

Eat farts, bootlicker.

Its a step in disarming oppression overall though so regardless it’s a worthy cause. For those that are supposed to serve and protect they shouldn’t be geared to go to war against their citizens of any color or socioeconomic status. Also black lives matter

I’ll let Chris Rock respond:

The covers were both design and marketing genius. You could easily pick out all the VC Andrews books on a shelf even if you were standing all the way across the room.  And they really appealed to my child’s need to see the picture behind the cover.

Can we also talk about those paperback covers? Because whoever came up with them is a marketing genius. They were so VERY CREEPY AND PERFECT. Like the pictures hidden behind the cutouts were too spooky for regular supermarket bookshelves. My teen brain was into it.

I’m Native Fuckin’ American. Every single vote I cast is a Hail Mary that something, anything, might change that benefits me and my kind. If I can vote every damn time, the rest of y’all disaffected youth can march your asses down to the polls too.

But haven’t just as many progressives and activists been telling white people that racism is their problem to solve and that white allies have to work on other white people to make them how they’re a part of the problem, and to stop looking to POC to tell them what to do? But when white women tackle it head on and…

Also, he’s doing that thing, that Trump thing, of accusing someone else of being what he is; he, a venture capitalist called an activist “elite”. I don’t know if there’s a term for doing that, or if there isn’t, what it should be called. It’s worse than hypocrisy, it’s worse than projecting, because there’s an element…

Agreed, especially since his opening salvo was, “I’M TOM AUSTIN.” like that supposed to mean something to somebody.

At some point the black delegation is going to have to settle on a name for male Karens

I’ve never bought a rental, but every time I’ve bought a car I’ve gone into it with the mindset that I’m going to keep it until it’s no longer mechanically sound. So by the time I’m ready to get rid of a car, I’m not expecting much for sale/trade-in. But if you’re someone who likes to switch it up every few years,…

This is tangentially related at best. Just let this video speak for itself and don’t use it to prop up other agendas.

This comment took an interesting left turn. From “Be wary of white women falsely accusing black men of crimes” to “Let’s not investigate a white woman accusing a white man of something that he has already been known due to do and of something for which she has some corroborating evidence even though a failure to…

If they quit going to Starbucks and eating avocado toast every morning they would be just fine. They just need to get a 2nd or 3rd job and pull themselves up by their boot straps. 

Others described Islam as “a death cult”

My favorite detail about this whole thing (since let’s face it, GOPers with racist posting histories is hardly anything out of the ordinary) was that he was part of the “Young Guns” thing, since he’s fifty-fucking-three.  Sure, that’s par for the course for them, but it’s still always hilarious to see.
