These law suits are never really a problem for the cities though because it’s taxpayer money that pays them out. It’s not like the police union or some city funds are allocated for these payouts. This us precisely why these shootings continue to happen.

Of course you’re not because the hate isn’t directed towards you.

Wait wait wait wait wait. You say the swastika is hateful imagery and is rightfully policed, but maintain that the confederate flag is not, and should not be policed!?!? You give very very loose interpretation of the history of the flag stating that because the flag didn’t start out that way, it can’t be considered…

It’s that same cognitive dissonance that’s going to get some rank-n-file white folk’s asses beat down. Not all of us are afraid, are so willing to forgive, and are hesitant to use hands.

At this point I don’t really care. Some one should bear the brunt of racist attacks some of the goddamned time (yes we’re there). So the fuck what if they weren’t yelling and their homies were. Maybe it’ll keep Jethro Jr. from pack mentality when Jeb wants to go do some racist shit.

She’s not about to be homeless if she has reality tv and porn offers. Both pay quite well from what I hear.

Not in Austin. Uber is already gone.

I’m old and recognize 8+ bands not including the headliners and the sub(?) headliners. But I have teens so I am bombarded with some of the new stuff.

It’s never too late to go. In my hometown we have safeaustin.org which helps women and children escape abusive relationships. I’m sure there is a similar org in your city that can provide you with answers that you need.

For everyone it’s different. How would it feel to see your child going through the very same thing you’re going through right now? You’d want him/her to leave. You’d do everything in your power to help them leave. Show your kid how that’s done.

Sometimes leaving is the very best thing you can do...for your child. Kids learn by seeing not so much by what you say. Pro tip: seeing you exhibit acts of courage (like leaving) gives them something to draw on throughout life when they need examples of courage to recall.

The fact that the artist (especially from back in the day & Black) rarely got compensated is true but what I heard in the video is that the publisher is making the money off the tracks. This implies that artists who are using the sample are in fact paying to do so (or at least they have been for a while—the 80s and…

Wellllll kind of. It depends on how the wealth is spent and who it influences. Producing, financing, etc can highly influence getting your kiddos cast over and over. Jaden Smith is a great example (and Willow concerning music). He’s a horrible actor yet he keeps popping up in big productions, on magazine covers, at…

“president”

What if it was reversed? What if your ex had primary custody and told you that for whatever reason at any given time your small child decide that they didn’t want to see you because they didn’t want to eat broccoli for dinner and they granted that request? You’d be livid (or should be). Kids are not rational or make…

She could’ve been Mommy Dearest.

Look, if upper middle class white children can get gunned down inside their elementary school NOT effect gun laws, then black children getting killed in Chicago is going to change jack shit. The solution is gun control (and not the bullshit “strict in the cities where there are more POC, but lax in the suburbs…

I mean, I get that he’s garbage but no mention of the dreadfully low self-esteem this girl portrays. It doesn’t make his behavior acceptable by no means but she could use some therapy (and probably not another boyfriend so soon as was mentioned downthread). If we’re all going to arm-chair diagnose him (which to be…
