The father has been charged with possession with intent to deliver: he was arrested for having drugs with the intent to distribute them in some way. The victim’s willingness to take the drugs—something about which we can only speculate—does not enter into the charge; it would be the same if the father sold the pills…

It is irrelevant to our discussion here. We have no information about the statement other than that it was made. Homing in on that one line focuses attention on the potential actions of the victim rather than on those of the alleged perpetrators.

Don’t get offensive and I won’t get defensive.

Maybe she saw the father putting something in the drink but she dismissed that as paranoia until her suspicions were later confirmed. Maybe she assumed everyone else was taking drugs and didn’t want to seem provincial. Maybe she didn’t feel safe refusing the drink. Maybe she saw the father put something in a drink but…

This is the heart of this discussion and I wish I could give you more stars.

Sadly it’s entirely possible to take several history classes without hearing about the Harlem Hellfighters...

How is it “diverting one of the few super heroine movies to showcase a plot about colonial men fighting” to even show colonial and/or US troops of color? People of Color fought in WWI and not even acknowledging that is erasure. It could have even made for an interesting character development piece if Wonder Woman had…

It’s not “shoehorning” to show the soldiers of color who were actually there. Yeah maybe it doesn’t make historical sense for Wonder Woman to interact with them a great deal but no People of Color in the background even? Come on.

It makes sense for two reasons:

Firstly, it’s WWI.

I have been in the jury pool three times (once in each of the counties I’ve lived in) but never actually served. I actually got sent home early once because they had too many people.

Based on my totally representative personal experience, about a third of people called are actually excited to serve.

I have lived in 3 counties in my home state since turning 18 and I have been called for jury duty in each of them.

I understand your frustration but the fact that this guy has a kid makes it even more important that there is someone calling him on his bullshit. Hopefully LittleRedRidingCrop can be the ray of light that helps get the kid out of the cave of their dad’s repulsive attitudes.

Take a picture of yourself and a child you have some relationship to (your child, grandchild, nibling, neighbor’s kid; hell use a pet) with your faces framing OFFBH’s stupid post. Put your picture on Facebook with the caption “Teaching [child’s name] why it’s important not to be a ridiculous shamey douche.”

I didn’t say I condoned destroying the window. Menafee even said he regretted doing it. But Yale’s response shows that they don’t really care about the message they put forth and how that affects their employees. Their statement makes it sound like Menafee broke a random window just for the hell of it rather than had…

Plus she’s not bad in a battle rap.

I agree with your statement in general but that is not the case in this instance. There is a difference between art in a classroom and art in a residence hall.

As I said, having the window in a residence hall implies approval to the content. No, Yale today does not approve of slavery but that is all the more reason to be thoughtful about what is used as decoration around the campus.

There is a difference between having art depicting history in say, a history building and having similar art in a residence hall (where this window was). One context simply says “this is an artifact of history” and the other gives tacit approval to the content.
