if the highest paid women in our country still can’t get paid what the highest paid men do, then the problem obviously exists at every level.

Anyone who’s had Organizing Fellow or above status on the Obama campaign has used VAN extensively. I’ve used VAN and I can promise you the idea that the Sanders campaign harvested data from Clinton’s campaign and gained some advantage is complete bullshit.

I really disagree, particularly concerning Austin. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part a millionaire’s house in West Lake looks about the same as a dentist’s house in Round Rock.

Considering they’re from Texas, it’s impossible to tell the difference since they don’t necessarily have to be particularly wealthy by coastal city standards. The cost of living is so low in southern states (with the exception of Florida) there’s very little way to differentiate between someone who earns 300k /yr and…

Jesus. This is the slacktivist memorandum run wild.

I think it’s common to block wifi/cellphone reception to prevent someone from setting off a bomb remotely.

In the interview Remini says at one point she finally did Google Scientology, but that it was a large rebellion on her part because its against church rules. She then personally called the Church’s biggest critics to ask questions. And she was still scared to leave since she was worried her family would stop talking…

I’d prefer my employees to be safe than dead if I were the owner .

So according to you, for a white man to warrant you calling the cops they’d have to literally be walking towards a school of young children carrying a weapon of massive death. And for a black man to warrant you calling the cops, they’d have to call a store asking for it’s hours of operation.

Some facts:

I thought that also, but according to the police statement when the cops met her around back they explained who Henson was, that he played for the NBA etc., and she said she’d let him in but still requested that the officers stay in the store until Henson left.

I’m not really into classism, but if I’m about to buy a $10,000 watch, I might want to dress the part.

You fucking moron. If they knew he was an NBA player, they would have let him in.

...at least one instance where the criminals were driving a similar car to this one. It is unfortunate that the people who robbed the store bear a resemblance to John Henson... as someone who has worked in retail and been robbed at gun point, you tend to be suspicious.

There might have been some other incidents that we’re not aware of as well that made this woman so skittish. We don’t know the whole story so I’m not going to assume she’s a racist crazy woman that thinks all black men look alike.

Obviously, pretty much no one is going to justify the behavior of that (probably hick) driver for swerving into the motorcycle.

I’m a die hard Sanders supporter, but was anyone else really put off by the interviewer’s dismissive and condescending attitude right off the bat?

I’m pretty sure born-again’s get like re-baptised. It’s extremely popular for the mid-life crises types who feel like failures to get ‘forgiven for past sins’. Which really just means failures in romance and career.

There’s a big difference, actually. Because it was a choice on her part (as much as anything she’s ever done in her life was actually her choice and not her creepy parents’ choice anyway), not part of a legally enforced contract.

She’s a plain old white person (with great hair).
