How many times do we have to explain to people that even the people that are your friends that have never treated you badly can and have harmed others?? What is so hard about understanding that??

Very good points.

So proud of you, Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi.

Yes, the Midwest. I have memories of that.

ME too. I am DISGUSTED by people who don’t bathe before they get into their beds. That’s nasty! Especially if you’ve been outside.

Not if you’re from the tropics. Twice the day is the norm, even if you have to head to the river or waterfalls when there are shortages due to drought or problems with infrastructure. It’s considered unsanitary to sleep in your bed unbathed unless you’re old or infirm.

Who, in their right mind, as a professional teacher, would think it OK to put their foot on any child, much less a Black child? What is this? How do you as a teacher, in a position of power and privilege over a child, think this is OK? Where are they getting these bottom-of-the-barrel people in the profession?

This is delicious, Leopard Ate My Face material right here.

I get that Ms. Tessica Brown used social media as a call for help, but I think people on the internet need to calm down.

Citizen’s arrest sounds a little too much like the ghost of Jim Crow having wypipo police the presence of Black people in every sphere of life.

EDIT: “Financial, legal or career troubles, despite having been born to high SES, by the way, are hallmarks of narcissistic personality disorders, so I wouldn’t be surprised that a psychological profile of these people would reveal such tendencies.”

Yes, totally plausible. They’re not just anyone; they’re the ‘hard-working, job-creators, real Americans.’

Is the “h” silent or not? I want to get this right. LOL.

This is what I was referring to.

Just like we have the term “himpathy,” we have to coin one for this cohort: wypipo-sympathy. It’s the unending compassion that we have to show to the wypipo bigots who think that their opinions and worldview are what should dominate and hold sway in greater society.

The bar for CTE is pretty high and you have to be dead for the valid tests to happen. Right now, they only have accounts of his behavior showing the decline in behavior as a guide and the length of time he’s played football.

At-will employment means your employer can fire you for any reason not tied to protected class, so where is the problem with this?

We on r/VintageLadyBoners have paid homage to his passing. Forever one of my childhood crushes.

Terrible.

Yep. I use KN95 masks when I go outside, which is every 2 weeks. I work at home. Ain’t playing with this. Haven’t seen family or friends in months. Only go to the doctor or the supermarket. Everything else, mail order.
