“It doesn’t affect me.”

We’re talking about people who would happily live in a drainage ditch downstream from a major city, eat garbage, and wear literal rags if it meant that people of color, LGBTQ, liberals, and non-Christians also lived in the same conditions. It’s all about ‘owning the (group name here)‘ rather than the greater good.

At the very least, he could have arrested her on a BS charge and said a polite version of ‘Bitches be crazy’ if/when she told anybody what he wanted her do. She’d be in custody, her child would be in the foster system, then she would be dragged through the mud in the press. “You wanna lose your baby to Child Services?…

I watched a special on one of the cable channels about the case. They were in the park looking for victims to mug, but they weren’t the hard-core gangbangers that media tried to make of them.

True, but they did not commit the crime for which they were imprisoned.

Maybe if we didn’t elect District Attorneys, prosecutors wouldn’t feel obligated to rack up wins to show how ‘tough’ they are. And maybe if we didn’t concentrate so hard on ‘wins’ in determining whether a prosecutor is any good, we wouldn’t have so many people in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. We should prefer…

Mad at the world. They’re all mad at the world for not catering to them.

He did this as a ‘businessman’: negotiate (or ‘negotiate’) and near the end throw a last-minute tantrum to coerce even better terms out of the other party. He STILL doesn’t understand that he can’t do this to world leaders.

I have a pretty good idea what went through Mr. Clark’s mind: he wondered who was screaming at him, what those noises were, and then why he felt pain. Then it all came together just before he died.

Many a bad horror movie could be retitled “Stupid White People [insert number]: [Descriptive subtitle]” because that’s the default for us. It’s easier to write about a bunch of privileged dumbasses walking eyes wide open into the obvious torture house than it is to write about people making plausible decisions and…

‘Fuck-all to do about race’ but you then made reference to “Bebe’s Kids” as if all black people have a mob of ill-behaved brats. Come back when you learn how to not sound like the coffee boy for Steve Bannon.

You’d think it would be in the regs to at least compensate people for the repairs. Make sure the damage is properly recorded (to silence the inevitable jerks who think people will trash their own homes).

Hell, that’s just common sense — which is sorely lacking in far too many of my fellow whites.

And I can tell that you are a Chad. Stop embarrassing us.

It’s a start, and more communities may follow suit. In England, people can be charged for wasting police time. Maybe we should have something similar so that people will think before they abuse 911.

Basic Becky/Chad 911 call: “There’s a black person in my eyeline!”

No African American can write their version of the ‘Alice’s Restaurant Massacree’ yet. Which is a goddamn shame. 

Two rights make the U-turn.

Not if you do it right. No need to be all over the counter or table for washing the meat, and use proper cleaners when you finish.

Yeah, I’m not letting someone open my door to slide a package in — and not because Oscar Madison would critique my housekeeping. There’s a reason Amazon offers an alternative delivery address option, and some delivery services will leave a note to go to theirs.
