As a white woman with kinky/curly hair, I can verify that people do not randomly come up to me and touch it. I get comments all the time, but no intrusive hands, despite having hair that’s similar to that of some black or biracial women.

Where is the video? Must be backing up his side of the story because it would have leaked out by now. Since it was his truck and they didn’t find anything illegal now is the slow motion crawl to drop charges. Like they were doing him a favor, you can’t “break and enter” in regards to your own property.

We need to talk about white people reporting “suspicious activity” of black people out of pure malice as well. It’s a real phenomenon that needs to be addressed in tandem with police violence.

As we all have seen these past weeks (months, years, decades, centuries) domestic abusers are a real problem.

Or, just hire more women to do stuff.

You really think this is so egregious that he needs to resign over it? I’m sorry I just don’t agree.

LOL. Hey, here’s a wild idea: get off the internet and actually ask a black woman, “do people really touch your hair with or without asking first?” Then they will tell you, yes, this happens all the time.

It’s an everywhere thing. They don’t always ask. Nope, they act like you spit on them. Nope, born and raised Americans. They’re white. You haven’t been paying attention. From a small town and AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

Yes. Also, some don’t ask. They just do it.

For anyone counting, this one IS a first amendment issue, what with the sheriff and that prosecutor saying they will try to bring charges. That is the government trying to suppress free speech (as opposed to twitter removing a checkmark, which is not). Now lets see those self styled libertarians on the alt!right…

I’m tired of the doom and gloom “Pence is worse” rhetoric. Yeah, he’s a terrible fucking person, but you know what? He’s gonna play by the book because he is a politician. The differences between the two are clear as day. Trump is Chaotic Evil. Pence is Lawful Evil. Trump will do shit because some bumfuck white…

Pence won’t bumble us into a war, demean the Office and our culture with crass narcissism, or ever get elected in his own right. He is vile, but infinitely preferable to Trump.

This will be a test of who the heroes will end up being when the shit hits the fan. I don’t care how likely or unlikely starting the process is; the good and decent people in the Congress need to go on record for when the history books are written about this crook, this thief, this scoundrel.

Yep. People can be rattled, brought off balance, etc. When you’re rattled, you aren’t thinking straight, and you can freeze up as your brain tries to come up with a response to something that you literally cannot believe is happening.

Trump is a sociopath who admires men who have more power than he can wield. Trump (because he’s a fucking moron) thought being President was like being a dictator, which is ultimately wants to be. He is completely uninterested in governing. He just wants to say some shit and for it to be the way it goes.

He has spoken about how aware he was of the optics—a big Black man beating up an important white man. He would have been arrested and his career would have been ruined. The fear of the repercussions of standing up for himself kept him silent, just as it does most victims of this kind of thing.

Huh? Boomer liberals aren’t. Calling athletes protesting ‘patriots’ is a response to those misrepresenting their protests to pretend they’re unpatriotic. They likely wouldn’t even comment on the ‘patriotism’ if not for those pretending Kaepernick is shitting on the military.

Obviously, Kevin had mental health issues stemming from his incarceration. We need to do more to improve access to psychiatrists and social workers after prisoners are released.

“You can tell Obama ran scared. And I don’t mean paralyzed by fear, I mean, We gotta be on 10 constantly. We gotta always be on point. I think that’s kinda a very black thing. I think that we should not be misled into not thinking about the impact that has on the larger populace.”
