It’s not simple - yes he was in a position of power over her and so the potential for her to be the victim is high. But according to the Advocate report, she did this because he promised her help with a warrant for a traffic violation. If that was the extent of the coercion, I think she definitely has a case to answer…

Come on - I do not like Trump, but this is a stretch... According to this article, a “10% tarriff” has “doubled” the price of an aluminium can - and so the beer industry is failing?
Can you explain how a 10% tarriff doubles that cost? Or how the cost of packaging (that typically represents 2% of cost for aluminium cans)…

Unless that’s only part of the recording embedded, she only says it once (maybe twice, I can’t listen again...)

I love a good steak and egg burger - been my go-to since forever. The only drawback - I love runny yolk too, and if not eaten right half the yolk ends on my shirt. But worth the risk

Full disclosure: white guy posting here....

This is actually progress for the Chicago police. They had a chance to send two black guys down for this, but went for the option of going after one (albeit gay and famous, so extra points for that option I guess.)

Except for our office Sharp multifunction - which the paper direction guide is correct if your are photocopying, but incorrect if you are printing.... Weird and annoying. (And probably a setting on the print server.)

Mathematics requires it. For black people to be disproportionately affected by police brutality and injustice, you require a non-black injustice per reporting period to avoid the divide-by-zero problem.

Shit. I think I ticked an even number of boxes for each of the first four options. I don’t even have a proper “woke” identity.

How did offering to find a chair for someone in a crowded room turn into this? Because surely that’s what a decent human being does?

Anyone got the dogsitter’s number?

“dark hair … wearing jeans, a black muscle shirt with the sides cut, brown boots and a black cowboy hat.”

Feminists versus Koch? Sounds like my internet history

It can’t be sunglasses. Surely wearing them would make everyone look dark skinned...

On first hearing I thought the commentator said “Gonads on the run”...

Damon, my friend. Let me - a white guy - explain..... And genetically, let’s face it, us white guys are evolved to explain....

Quick action - almost as fast as those confederate generals statues came down /s

Well technically it was a choice... just not the choice of the enslaved black people

I understand why he was afraid. But as to why he should be afraid, he shouldn’t have had to. But fuck you society, because he did

As one of these wypipo, it’s close to the kind of questions I ask (note, different country, different contexts, but same shitty racism). Maybe not so bluntly or cheaply, but I do seek other perspectives in the question “how should I respond to this situation?”
