work yourself to death *with dignity*

I don’t know how Hillary got such a pass from black voters despite...

Policing poor people for their poverty is wrong. The solution should be *paying them more* and then these prescriptions would be easier to adopt.

Recently I watched Jefferson in Paris. It had a *bunch* of creepy scenes with a young Thandie Newton playing a teenage Sally Hemmings and how she kept “asking” for the relationship with a old-but-not-as-craggy-as-he-currently-is Nick Nolte playing Thomas Jefferson.

I’d wonder if there were black creatives in the room and they just didn’t know the history and just thought it played well for style and emotional appeal (to who, I don’t want to know)

Sorry, but this is the responsibility of the French government. If this is his personal fortune, that’s fine. This is mis-prioritized American spending.

Keys get lost. This life was taken. That is some flaccid language. The officer took the man’s life.

I’ve driven in a lot of countries. And recently in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic - it can be scary.

Meanwhile Mehrsa Baradaran, a legal and banking scholar, testified at the same time about the racial wealth gap, red-lining, and banking discrimination. Guess which one got coverage.

Sure this presses the outrage button, but why not ALSO report on Mehrsa Baradaran’s testimony on the CRA? She far more educated, has a lot more original thought, and has a more literary career regarding the effects of white supremacy and attempts to counteract it

Open borders is a terrible idea. Frederick Douglass stated it, Cesar Chavez stated it, Martin Luther King stated it, James Baldwin stated it.

In third/ fourth/ and fifth world countries I’ve driven in, when you see a piece of physical safety infrastructure like guard rails be extra careful. Usually it means someone important died or nearly died and they (or their surviving family) had the pull to get money spent to have that area upgraded.

Same. Though I did see peer pressure result in people making bad jumps and suffering similar injuries.

How was Wikileaks wrong? Has Assange been sued for reporting? He has personal characteristics that are no good, but his work was accurate

He’s not wrong that immigration needs to be curtailed. He just uses a loathed group to push it. I and a number of my family members recognize that as immigration increases, black unemployment increases. Why hire an American citizen when you can hire an immigrant without citizen protections? Transform US Foreign Policy…

“early in his career” means the contract he signed.

I know he said some terrible (and uninformed) stuff and made poor decisions early in his music career, but making fun of him is in poor taste and recognize that he’s a college dropout and not a contract attorney.

Heard an interview with the guy. He’s an artist who kind of believes it and kind of wanted an art project to capture the zeitgeist. I think this is less on the artist and more on the consumers of the art.

which one of these still has a significant black population left? I’m in the DC area and can confirm that while we’re still hanging in, the influx of capital has made this region unfriendly to most black people.

She’ll win re-election by a mile. I always wonder why an apology is always the next step? It’s not genuine, so it means nothing.
