It seems conservative judicial thought is a game of limbo: how low can you go.

Petitioning The Root to stop calling these murderous miscreants “Karen” and to substitute the more appropos “Carolyns” after Emmet Till’s accuser, the murderous Carolyn Bryant Donham who got him killed, because, in this case, the intention was trying to get a Black judge killed.

I’m mad about the Viagra being covered but you don’t see me whining about it.

I’m deeply sorry she had to feel the pain of losing a child twice in her life. My condolences to her and all who knew and loved Nisa. I pray that Iyanla is surrounded by the love and comfort of her community to get through this awful tragedy.

I too would like to get off this crazy train.

Nah, they like playing the Lee Atwater strategy. Can’t say the trigger words and have to resort to dog whistles and distortions.

They will also need to improve their funding remarkably to help the tide.

I hope this spurs Black elites to fully fund and support HBCUs to compensate for this travesty. And I hope some enterprising aspiring Black lawyers keep a close eye for disparate impact. We will need to start funding test prep for underrepresented youth to prepare them for the hurdles ahead. And the learning loss from…

This is exactly what NAACP and other groups should do: sue the schools who have large white legacies since it’s de facto affirmative action and create a leopard-eating-faces moment for the trash that is Edward Blum and his white christo-fascist enablers.

Courts do not decide what is ethical, only what is legal. Read my statement again.

This is a morally gray situation. Legally, it might be clear but ethically, this is a debatable one.

Thank you! Was thinking the same thing.

Although her neglect was egregious and did end up endangering people’s lives, it is a fact that putting her away is not going to solve the problems of her being able to parent a child with profound conduct issues. It is NOT in the state’s interests nor in the child’s interests in hauling her off to jail. She should be…

Lord, it’s like we need public school Bill Maher New rules: you can’t advocate to ban a book if can’t prove a demonstrable level of reading comprehension, haven’t read it, nor completed a book report submitted prior to your protest of the material.

The amount of latent mysogynoir percolating in certain populations comes up like this. No doubt he gets kicks humiliating women, and he reserves contempt for Black women especially because punching down is the signature of cowards, racists, and all contemptible people.

Exactly. Housing first has been proven* to help people with substance abuse disorders, so imagine what it can do for people with mental health issues plus substance abuse. And it actually improves quality of life for everyone else since homeless people aren’t living on the subways, taking up park benches to sleep, and…

We really need to have a housing-first policy for people with diagnosed mental health issues. They can’t be expected to self-manage the everyday complex of living in a capitalist society. And the fact that special care wasn’t taken when his mother was murdered is damning of our society’s indifference to people who are…

Sorry Ms. Deja Taylor: you need to not have a gun in a house with child with such severe behavioral difficulties. And now that you son has demonstrated the capacity for violence, the best thing for him and for society is for him to attend a school with children with severe behavioral difficulties.

Very happy to see this. But I do wish they put up something to protect the statue and cameras to catch any of the devils that want to vandalize it.
