When he was arrested, Chatman offered to plead guilty to assault in exchange for having the armed robbery charge dropped.....

I have two. They’re the best possible choices I ever made, and the hardest choices to live with. Go do many, many things for yourself first.

Dammit.

It does seem like that, honestly.

Have you never seen Spartacus?

Isn’t she literally trying to “organize her own”? Isn’t that what people are supposed to do?

Fuck this wypipo for caring a little.

I hate that I need to repeat this (a position that I KNOW you are intimately familiar with, Mr Harriot!) BUT:

I agree with you largely, where I diverge with you and the OP is that I never saw her asking black people for a cookie. She was a white person, talking to white people, about the life-endangering truth of white supremacy. I don’t think we were the audience. What’s the difference between this and what Tim Wise does?

They are, you mad when no one says anything then you are pissed when they do. Not everyone will get the tome right but the message was spot on.

I dont get the outrage. Being Black myself, I applauded her. She pretty much called the school out and others on their bullshit and exposed the stark contrast between Black and White. She never claimed to be an activist or anything like that. She saw the double standard, and proved that it existed.

Though I fully agree with the larger point of the issue, speaking up like the young lady did is still overall beneficial. It’s better to say something, and use your platform of whiteness to reach out to other ignorant whites, than to be on the side of silence and complacency. If anything, her simple Facebook post made…

I can’t understand how or why it has taken this long for people to wake up but I wont attack this young woman for waking up. And I will even thank her for at least trying to make a difference. Not everyone needs to be the next MLK. If more people would take even the small step she has, we would see some real change…

Serious question, what are wypipo supposed to do in a situation like this? Not say anything publicly? I feel like our reaction to this comes off as hating. She’s critical of white supremacy, she points out a contradiction and I’d never heard of this story until you reported it, now I want to know how Colgate is going…

“Over $1MM invested in this build, worth $20MM+, we know what we have, no lowballers or Palestinians. Bring a trailer.”

Whether you agree with what he’s saying or not, reducing his quote to a sound bite about “avocado toast” and then mocking it is misrepresenting the original statement and missing the point about people having continual patterns of irresponsible spending. He was not talking about the purchase of a single item twice a…

This one isn’t car related so feel free to just pass by.

I had a 72 K5 Blazer that my dad and I slowly were restoring but I also daily drove it mid restoration.

A few years back I was driving home on the highway at around 7pm. 4th gen Trans Am with an open exhaust so it was kind of loud. T-tops off, life is good. All of the sudden I hear something even louder coming up fast behind me with old style headlights so I moved over a lane.

How is receiving back money that I spent 40 years paying in considered welfare?
