I laughed at that, even though I shouldn't have. I feel terrible. Nah white kids in hoodies are fine, but if you are any other ethnicity except for white, just nope. Although these days, not even sure if the white kids in hoodies are safe.

I'll take PRESERVE seriously if she makes Robyn Lively an editor.

Because so many people are batshit insane and markedly unintelligent. Many of those people happen to be nurses.

She obviously was looking to file this lawsuit when she applied for the job. This is someone (more likely an organization funding her) looking for a lawsuit to push their agenda.

Except for cop-on-black crime, right? Or, you know, non-physical violence in the form of inadequate education and so on.

Depends on how you define crime. Centuries of racist oppression and wealth theft were legal but violations so why aren't they considered crimes? You, shockingly, don't have to personally violate people when you have formal institutions to do it for you.

"White on black crime has been virtually non-existent for about 40 years."

America has always been open-season on black people. But if you ever want to do something about these assholes with guns, just organize and publicize gun sales to black folks. We'll have nationwide gun control within a week.

Farts.

In the present social and political climate what you have just outlined sounds like some sort of fantasy novel.

Good for the DOJ. And good for the Dems. Inevitably, when the right wing nuts come out, and they will, and they will be politicians, not their supporters, it will lead to a wave of Dems being elected to the House & Senate. Then we just need Obama to follow thru and "New Deal" this bitch back to a respectable society.…

"Don't let your girls go to parties" ??????????

I hate when so called black men community leaders try to commandeer black causes. They haven't done a good job and they don't have the knowledge on how to represent black women because they really don't like to address our issues. If something were to happen to my family on this level, God-forbid. I would ask all…

"Quanell X" is a racist and a pig.

This may come off as nitpicky, but I don't give a shit:

I don't know anything about him, I'm not from the area, but I was rubbed the wrong way both by Rowan's question about "how do you prevent this from happening to other families" and his response of "don't let your teenage girls go to parties if you're not there." It just felt borderline victim blamey, or at least a set…

As disgusting and unbelievably vile as this story is, it is good that it isn't be ignored or swept under the rug. Kudos to this mother for standing by her daughter. Jada herself is a strong young woman for coming forward to speak about this.

One of the comments on that article is batshit crazy:

I nursed my older kid until he was almost 3. By that time, we rarely nursed in public. He was eating, drank cows milk from a straw cup, and was walking, talking, etc. For him, it was a security thing. He needed those few minutes of closeness and comfort that he just couldn't get from cuddles. By the time I weaned him,…

Because like it or not, privileged people are far more likely to hear the voice of another privileged person. Instead of griping about it, be glad and grateful that there's a privileged person able and willing to talk about it.
