“Nice country you got there. Shame if something were to happen to it.”

The fact they said he attacked the cop is intentionally misleading.  He spoke his truth in a very appropriate way. And he deserves an apology at the very least. 

Mr. Gelin’s got balls. He had to know every police department would circle the wagons around their guy, and still he said what need to be said.

“You probably don’t remember me but you’re the police officer who falsely arrested me four years ago,” said Tamarac City Commissioner Mike Gelin, who is black, to Gallardo, who is white. “You lied on a police report. I believe you’re a rogue police officer, you’re a bad police officer and you don’t deserve to be…

“You know, they love me in the Netherlands.”

LOL, he’s not wrong, the chin would be preferable. I still think my description of Eric as the Trumps’ expert Count Orlok cosplayer was solid, but I got no love. :-(

Depending on what you’ve read, Eden was located either somewhere between modern day Syria and Turkey, or somewhere along the Wadi Al-Batin River in Saudi Arabia. So Adam and Even probably looked a lot more like Kathy Hayman and her father than they did Jean Cramer. 

IDK about a GPA of 3.5 from an accredited university. I get the impression that book-learnin’ is a strike against potential citizens in Jean Cramer’s book. Unless that book is Leviticus. 

They knew they had the possibility of being sanctioned and still chose to protest because these issues are so important to them. I applaud both of them for taking a stand despite the risks. Hirshland can fuck herself.

“It is also important for me to point out that, going forward, issuing a reprimand to other athletes in a similar instance is insufficient,”

—I disagree with the moment and manner in which you chose to express your views.”

I am singing “anti-FASH! Gordon...” in Freddie Mercury’s voice.  Thank you.

Me, personally, I don’t want to be where I’m not wanted. When I go home, I don’t want to be bother, especially by a bunch of fools who don’t know me and have a dislike of me just because of the color of my skin. 

“My husbands [ancestors] were German.”

I have heard this myself. This week. “But my family were decent slave-holders.”

They were tap dancing all over the place!

I was in Virginia several years ago, and I was told to go to the “slave market” downtown, because it was such an amazing historical site - and there was a Starbucks nearby. It was horrifying. Very little context - just an area where slaves were apparently chained up and auctioned off, surrounded by restaurants and the…

“In addition, what I found completely and utterly offensive about Cheryl’s presentation was her very last statement in which she said, ‘America was built on the backbone of slavery,’” wrote Juliana Irene.

This is the equivalent of being hired to conduct court ordered anti-racism training because there had been *gasp* incidents and being told not to bring up race. Yeah, that really happened...more than once...and not recently. So, being ate up with the dumbness has long global history.

Did you scream like I did, when THIS happened?
