Hmm, that would definitely be more understandable, hopefully you’re right. I just read a different article, though, that was pretty clear that neither the uncle nor the mom ever actually called police: they told the school superintendent, and he then alerted the police. That sounds pretty damn bizarre to me =/

And he didn’t call the police because ...???

That’s my hope as well. I just read the WP’s article (only read AP’s before) and I’m seeing some more disturbing information... The WP reports that police were notified about the assault after Johnson - the school superintendent - ordered detectives to investigate it, after he was approached by the girl’s mother…

Totally agree!! Also - and had this aspect been on its own rather than amidst other questionable statements he’s made, it may not rankle quite so much - I find it ... off-putting, at best, that he refers to a kid showing him the FB livestream video as “one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen a kid do”. Like, your…

Good idea, I’ll try that!

But white people hold far more power and wealth in Hollywood, so it’s not like black people are given all kinds of opportunities to tell their story in their own words. Are you saying you’d rather there be no shows to that effect than have shows like that, but created by white people?

What do you think of the show? I’ve been debating watching it, because I love Chicago P.D., think Med is alright, and always thought Fire looked good, but could never find the first season available to watch anywhere and am not about to start in the middle of season 3 or whatever it is now.

That show’s producers are black. Not sure if that’s the one OP meant or not. Have you actually watched this one?

That’s awesome (the “handmaids,” not this latest bullshit assault on women’s reproductive rights, obviously). I can’t wait for this show to premiere; I’m counting down the days. I almost feel like it should be required viewing in schools, too, and on the plus side, probably a lot more kids would pay attention to the…

I don’t. And it’s generally the host at many places who gives you your food, and they’re paid hourly. If I made some special requests or the person otherwise went out of their way for me, I’d tip them, but if you’re just handing me a bag and I’m handing you money, and that’s it? No tip.

On Monday, her uncle Reginald King says he saw her on a Facebook Live stream, where she was being sexually assaulted by at least six attackers.

Gotta start ‘em young!

And all this time I thought that the purpose of having children was to have a fun-size maid to complete all of your household chores. What in the hell is the point then?

Omg, I’m sorry, but I read your first sentence as “English Setter family” and imagined this little dude pawing furiously at a keyboard.

Hmm, really? I have always had that problem (sorta) with liquid - it makes my pores look ginormous, and you can see every little teeny thing; I’d almost describe it as pixels, lol. That’s why I’ve always preferred powder - unless, of course, my skin is being abysmally dry! I grabbed a highlight/contour palette from…

I looked it up and it’s not quite two hours from me. I will 100% do that. I don’t know quite where to start with it, though..

I can’t believe that people have actually said some of this shit out loud, and to people. I mean, it’s not right to think some of these things internally, either, but the straight up audacity and/or pure ignorance demonstrated by some racists’ comments just blows me away. Also, I knew it was a thing, but I didn’t…

That’s terrible. I just skimmed through some of their Yelp reviews, and you are far from the only person with complaints like that. How do we go about getting them shut down?? One person I saw said they tried contacting the MSPCA and they didn’t seem to care... I hate seeing animals treated like that, it makes me…

What the ever loving fuck? Where is this shit hole?

OMG they did. Wow.
